From Cute Overload, via Akela:

Somebody needs a Cuddle!

Funny how the tiniest little remarks can inspire the most interesting ideas. I was chatting with Chrysocolla Rau in SL yesterday, and the conversation turned to the topic of tentacles, as conversations with me are wont to do.

Chrysocolla (perhaps prompted by my last name, Antonelli) mused that the Italian word for ‘tentacle’ is probably quite wonderful. Despite my name, I am neither Italian nor fluent in the language, so I looked up the translation: tentacolo (pl. tentacoli).

One tiny mental connection later, the concept of “Tentacolor” was born! I worked feverishly lazily into the night to produce something to show this remarkable Tentacolor. The image above is one frame out of a psychodelic, hypnotic, tentacolored animation. When finished, I’ll put the movie up on YouTube or similar, for the enjoyment of all!

Don’t forget! I’m hosting meet-and-greets for the content creators’ play group tomorrow, August 18 at 10AM, 1PM, 6PM, and 9PM SLT! I’ll be chilling out in my garden in Hallasan for an hour each time, talking and joking and generally having a good time!

Anyone is welcome to come, especially if you are interested in participating in the play group or you want to hear more about it. Heck, even if you aren’t, just drop by and keep me company, to save me the embarrassment of holding 4 parties and having no one show up!

• What: Meet-and-greets for people interested in learning about or participating in the content creators’ play group.
• When: Saturday, August 18 at 10AM, 1PM, 6PM, and 9PM 10PM SLT (each lasting about 1 hour from the given time; come and go as you please)
• Where: Jacek Antonelli Gardens in Hallasan
• Who: Anyone interested in learning about or participating in the content creators’ play group.
• Why: To mingle and get to know interested people; and to discuss plans, goals, meeting times, and other details about how this crazy thing is gonna work!

I’ll be hanging around for about an hour starting at the 4 times listed above. If you’re interested in attending but can’t make it to any of those times, please IM me in-world with a time that would work better for you, and I’ll see what I can do.
