2015 ART: VIDEO: Bill Bailey Sweet Emma and Her Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Art by Arcadia Asylum

Bill Bailey Sweet Emma and 

Her Preservation Hall Jazz Band

Art by Arcadia Asylum

Combining existing music with a video made in a virtual world is becoming an art.  The art lies in selecting the scene and creating the video to match the music.  

• Watch on YouTube
• Cog & Grog Arcadia Asylum Freebie Center. Video and music 

The Hobo Pawn Shop, the Bodega Supermarket, and lots of other things in this vide are the work of Arcadia Asylum,  available free in many places in Second Life and in OpenSim. This work is always free from legitimate distributors.

How to handle a Hypergrid address 

From any Hypergrid-enabled grid, paste the address into the address bar of Firestorm and press enter. Or paste it into the world map search bar of any viewer, search, and click Teleport when the destination is found. If it doesn't work, don't give up. Try again in a minutes.  Sometimes the first try fails (probably times out).  And try again a few hours later. Some hypergrid destinations are offline part of the day. 

• The ideal Hypergrid address form--almost there in Firestorm
• If you get an address like this: 
• hg.francogrid.org:80:Residence-09:/119/128/190 
• paste it into the address bar of Firestorm, see if it takes you to the exact coordinates.
