Idle Rogue group members are permitted to rez and build on Idle Rogue. Because we are a working venue, we ask that major projects be rezzed on the builder platform in the sky. If you don't have the landmark, please IM chryblnd Scribe to get it.
If you need a large prim allowance for an ongoing project you need to let chry know. Otherwise prims are checked daily and returned to your inventory.
Idle Rogue is a venue within the virtual world environment of Second Life. Hosting live music performances, DJs and The Guerilla Burlesque dance troupe, Idle Rogue is a beloved home to a merry band of freaks and rogues. These are their stories.

Things to look forward to at Idle Rogue
Lots of goings on, changes and temporary absences upcoming:
::: Guerilla Burlesque will present their first revue this weekend, at 12am April 9. This is midnight as friday turns into Saturday, for those who struggle with times. The girls have worked really hard to create a dance show that features interpretive acts from different genres.
::: JordanReyne Deezul is relocating to the UK as of April 20, which will narrow her ability to perform for an unspecified time. Idle Rogue will host a going-away party for her at 11pm on April 16. This will be a themed party and your chance to get your invitation to the launch of Jordan's new album (and videos)on May 6.
::: Saintess Larnia is taking a couple of weeks away from morning performances, so we are taking the opportunity to fill the empty space she leaves with some favourites. On April 12 at 3am, join us as POL Arida returns to Idle Rogue, and stay tuned to hear who's taking the slot on April 19.
::: The Follow are launching their new album with a "World Tour" and the Australian leg of the tour will be hosted by Idle Rogue. \o/ The Follow are an extremely popular alternative band in both RL and SL, and their last show at Idle Rogue packed the place out. Join us on May 6 at 6am to see these guys do their thing
There is lots more in the breeze, so keep an eye on this page as the announcements roll out!

Idle Rogue Community - Exhibition
The latest addition to the Community Hall at Idle Rogue is the Art Exhibit of Sculpter Nessuno Myoo.
Nessuno Myoo is an inspiring artist from Italy, who will be exhibiting here at the Idle Rogue Community Hall for the month of April 2011.
I came across his work on Flickr, and fell in love with a piece called Living Dead Stories, which is now on display in the Community Hall.
From the artist (Google translated from Italian):
'Living Dead Stories' is a work that stems from the desire
want to expose your lungs all the rage and indignation
against a pseudo-journalistic television too often
goes hand in hand with that of the lowest of vaudeville entertainment
and which for years we see dazed from our homes.
An attempt to tell the truth that is being passed to 'better life'
without even really matters is entrusted to seedy characters
shift with difficulty dragging their miserable lives.
We like them-to-end unable to choose, to react,
but just remember what we were awkwardly,
in a corrupt and grotesque pantomime cyclic banner
degradation and bad taste. For all these reasons
is also a tribute to the extraordinary and romantic
literary figure of the zombie film and Romero,
of which-admit it-a big fan and at the same time
A metaphor for the pursuit of happiness through the use of technology ..."
The following sculptures are on display for April 2011:
Living Dead Stories
Absurd Trinity
The Angel
The Secret Escape Of Puppets
The Tale of Angels
I'm Here In The Tunnel
Nessuno is also on Twitter, Flickr and his blog
Please support our new artist and make him feel welcome.

New Resident Assist Program goes into action
Long-term Rogues will remember we have run this program successfully in the past. This incarnation is largely under the care of Cait (Knowledge Tomorrow) and myself, at least until we find someone who can commit the time to it.
Idle Rogue houses new residents (up to four at a time). We provide free furnished accommodation for a maximum of five weeks, during which time new residents (less than thirty days old) are encouraged to learn basic skills and meet and interact with more experienced users. The simple apartments are designed to reinforce acquired skills and interaction. The events and continual traffic on the sim provides a great opportunity to meet and mingle.
New users are also offered opportunities to advance in an area of interest, including content creation and employment opportunities. There is already a builder platform, and classes/workshops in many skills will commence over the next few weeks.
The idea for the program grew out of my own SL experience. As a noob, I rezzed in the former Pond Estates, a now defunct sim which was operated by an Australian ISP. For all it's flaws (and there were some), The Pond gave many Rogues space and opportunity to grow and establish ties to Second Life.
Anyone who reads or watches mainstream media will be familiar with stories of Second Life being "dead" because it is empty. While we all know that is not true, many new users simply do no know where to find other people, and leave, thinking they've stumbled into a relic. It was my intention to address this simply by actively looking for new users and engaging them in conversation. Where some mutual interests exist, the noob is invited to take up a "lease". After five weeks, assistance with renting, buying, or relocating is offered, and the new resident is "released into the wild".
The program, though expensive in terms of prim resources,time and emotional energy, has been so very worth it. We are looking forward to our new tenants, and Cait has already filled three of the four apartments. If you meet a new resident and think they would take to the Rogue lifestyle, please IM Knowledge Tomorrow or chryblnd Scribe to see what we have available.

DST returns!
Long-term Rogues will be as happy as I am to hear that prog/hard rock giants Deep Sky Traveler will return to Idle Rogue this Saturday and 6pm and monthly thereafter. Just like the old days \o/
Deep Sky Traveler are a trio of musicians who perform their original music ONLY in Second Life. Vocalist Bowie Bravin, Guitarist FacelessAPe Mefusula and multi-instrumentalist DeepSky Timeless create mind-blowing music in their online collaborations, and present it in a fully-immersive rock concert event. You have not seen anything of this calibre if you have not seen DST. Welcome back, gentlemen :-)
