It began with a documentary on the ABC television ...a story about an online world called Second LIfe. I watched it, and knew immediately it was a place I had to go. I logged in as soon as the programme ended, and began my journey into this amazing space. Where do I begin ???
How do I explain this amazing addiction, and yes it became an addiction....as it does for many...although I prefer to call it a retreat.
It was here I found peace in beautiful graphic images of sunsets, rainbows, gardens of bliss, and music unlimited. My desire to chat, discuss, debate and ramble on about ideas, stories and fantasies were all welcomed with open arms and I found a very comfortable home for my personality.
The club began as something to do, and always was a focus for providing a space for others to connect, learn and enjoy the various tunes, live performers and my own Australian music on the odd occasion that I dared to stream myself :)
What a captive audience we have held....
what wonderful friends I have made.
Apart from the connections ...who know who they are, and need no identification in here...there is the learning. Learning about ourselves as we experience the ancient art of communication with words. Words and music, avatars that we can dress, express ourselves...and simply ...words.
Those who visit here once, usually stay and explore, with a view to thinling it is a game. It doesnt take long, to work out ...it is much much more than that.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing space, and thank you for teaching me about myself.

THANK YOU
The Cage has made some big changes lately. One noticeable change
is the venue itself....we ripped out some walls, made some modifications that have definately enhanced the environment. The sim also is now Spring, and moving fast into Summer.
If your not dancing in the club, you can be watching a movie on the grass out back, horseriding...or just hanging out in one of the cuddle spots around the Cage. The newly located Media House Photo Studio, and of course or Randomonyx Store, both locations worth visiting. If your looking for somewhere to live in SL , the sim has private cabins at the most reasonable rates in SL. No dramas with buying land...and each cabin comes with a fully loaded Intan to use. You wont find anything in SL as reasonable, or privately located as these mountain retreats.
* Broken Bodenhall DJing every Tuesday and Friday nights at 6pm slt.
Broken is an upbeat crazy fun lady - who takes requests and livens up any space she occupies.
* Wednesday Nights - TAUNTER GOODNIGHT - What a voice ! One of the most amazing LIVE PERFORMERS IN SL !!
* Thursday nights we have DJ Cecil....( pronounced Seesal )....who does some funky R & B from 8.30 ish. The weekends are always busy and we do our best to play the best tunes we can find for you all !
WE ARE IN SHOWCASE !!
Thanks to Quilla and her efforts, we made it into the Second Life Showcase !!! This pushed our traffic from 3k ..to 21 k in one week ! Quilla is the woman in the know in SL ..and shares it with us at Management Level , helping us all to make our sl businesses better ! THANK YOU Q !! What would we do without you:)
Speaking of thanks... there are further thanks that I need to extend to EVERYONE who has helped me keep the Cage operational while I have dealt with some extenuating RL situations. OBVIOUSLY...Quilla... who has taken the reigns for me running finances and general day to day running when I haven't been able to be around......Teri our Manager...who is doing the hard yards daily at the Club...
ALL our HOSTS......for simply taking the shifts and keeping the energy up !!
Thank you to my nearest and dearest ...who have taken the time to spend with me...hear me, encourage me and simply honour my friendship, by sharing your time with me. There is no greater gift than the time you have shared with me - without judgement, without fear and with trust. I appreciate every moment.
Thank you ALL for supporting the Cage - for the last 3 years ! xoxo

VIP PROFILES - Sakura Delight
WE have the utmost pleasure of having various regular VIPs at the Cage..and Sak, as we like to call her has been a long standing patron. Along with her ever changing appearance, her flirtatious charm and her genuine desire to help others...there are many other enjoyable aspects to this young girls character. The Cage evenings are always the better for having Miss Sak on the dance floor so we asked her to contribute to the blog this week for your reading pleasure !!
My Sweet Escape by Sakura Delight
Everyone has an escape. A place they go to or something they do to temporarily get away from the stresses of their hectic day or life. To some its a spa, a good book, a night at the movies, some music, a glass of wine, a workout...the list is never ending. Well, let me tell you about mine.
Roughly a year ago a friend invited me to go dance with him at his favorite club. I thought "Sure...why not? A club is just a club" Well, I was so wrong.
The place was not "just a club". Sure, the music rocked & the drinks were great but the people kicked ass!!! They were uber friendly, generous & hilarious. I had never been to place like that before. The more I went there the more I liked it. Their events & contest were always tons of fun but it was, and still is, the people that keep me coming back.
While there, I've met some uber interesting people from all over. With them I've danced & laughed the night away; had some lighthearted conversations; some deep & insightful discussions & even some passionate arguments. Some of these people have left, some of us have become permanent fixtures of the club & a few permanent fixtures in my life. We've shared birthdays, rez-days, anniversaries, shop openings, shop closings, break-ups & divorces. When I want to dress up, dress down, not get dressed at all, drink, dance, sing, chat, laugh & be myself this is where I go. So, as weird & ass backwards as it sounds my escape is inside...The Cage.
