Second Pride

I have spent last week setting up my gallery at Second Pride. It has been really exciting. Then I have been visiting the shops of the other vendors, looking at the exhibits and of course partying with the rest of my proud family. It has brought back to mind a lot of memories and reasons for why I am who I am. I have spent many years fighting others (family mostly) about my lifestyle. Living in a world where i face possible discrimation and having to face the fact that I do not have equal rights as others. But yet I wake up every morning, put my pants on the same as everyone else and am proud of who and what I am. Is it easy? Often it is not. I have MSNBC as my default on my web browser and when i opened my laptop this morning I was faced with the news that the State of California Supreme Court upheld the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Another day in the life of a gay man :( I will continue to be proud and will not give up the fight...for somehow, someday, & somewhere we will all be equal!!

Welcome to Radekal Evolution

As some of you know, I have been working very diligently on my photography & art. I have been trying very hard to get the gallery up as well as get the portfolio large enough to fill it. Put together a little youtube video to show off the stuff. Hope that you like it. More to come soon so stay tuned....huggs Clint

Glancing Back One Last Time

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but after the final party on Sunday, it was still just a little too emotional. Wow...A Fairy Tale Ending, I don't think a more proper name could have been placed on this event. I found myself surrounded on a dance floor by so many friends and loved ones all celebrating with me a year that has went by so quickly. A year ago Sunday, Niki & I took a brave step & walked into the unknown together. Opening Premier Entertainment together, never realizing what a journey it would become. Niki, I can't imagine anyone else in SL that I would rather be with on that out for control short bus that we have been on. It has been ONE Hell of a RIDE!!




All the "HOT MEN OF PREMIER" those still with us & those who have moved on to better things. All of you made Evo what it is today! I just drove the bus. But you guys are what kept them coming back for more!! Thank YOU so much!



Mirah!!! What can I say? Your beautiful inside & out! You kept the place rocking & most importantly kept me sane! Your personality is infectious and I love you with all my heart.



Dillon & Getme!! Two of the best bros a guy could ever hope to have. You both are family to me & I will never be able to repay you for allowing me to have a vision & a dream. SL would have never been the same without you two.



And then all the friends!! You made it so special! When the sim crashed I was so nervous and worried but each & every one of you came back. You will never know what that means to me. Not just on Sunday nite, but the many nites practically every event...there you were partying on my dance floor! I love ya'll!








So here I am...at the end of a very wonderful journey! As I have told a few, there are a few things that I would have changed but I leave with absolutely NO REGRETS! It has been a blast but like all roads there comes a turn & I feel it is one that I must make! Thanks again everyone for an absolutely fantabulous time!! One More for The Road!! Huggs...Clint!

Times of Change

I know it has been a while since I posted and I apologize but a lot has been happening in SL. First, I am in the process of setting up my art and getting a gallery up and ready to show it all. Hope to have it all ready and have a grand opening party soon. Be sure to check back for more information about that as well as joining the group once we get it all done.

Second, and probably most shocking is that I have decided to leave Premier Evolution. After recent RL & SL events...it just wasn't the same. Some have said that perhaps I have burnt out..which very well could be the case. I have been going full blast with Premier practically since I rezzed. And although it is my baby and always will be..I thought that it was time for me to move on and find the real Clint. I announced the move about a week ago and said that I would be doing a farewell tour, 4 final parties with the huge build and themes. I redid the famous New Years Day / Sands of Time party for the first event...which was really great. It was one of my favorites and of course had to do a little bit of change to it. When I was done, it looked like Salvador Dali had thrown up all over the club :P Then by popular demand, we had to redo Life Is a Drag. Turned out to be a homage to Barbie...but always fun!! This Wednesday Nite, I am recreating the halloween event "Meeting of the Witch's Council". Really hope that all of you can make it. And last..the one that I am really looking forward to is going to be an event that I have always wanted to do but never got around to and thought what a great way to end it all....."A Fairy Tale Ending" Invites will be sent on Thursday or Friday. Shoot me an IM if you don't receive one. I will do a post later in the week / early next as my farewell to it all...but I wanted everyone to have a heads up as to what is going on if you haven't already heard. Huggs Clint

Song for the Week

Being Lost can be a WONDERFUL Thing!!

Most of you know me as Clint, one of the club owners of Premier Evolution...the guy who puts on the shows and flirts no stop on a dance floor. Others know me as a person who takes great pride in his work and his vision and has a blast seeing it come to fruition. Others, and very few of you know me as a the person who is struggling to get out from behind the other two previously mentioned persona's and just be Clint.

Many people come to SL for many different reasons, but the one that I am most interested in ... is why they stay. SL isn't easy in those first couple of weeks, while you wander aimlessly trying to find what it is all about and what the possibilities are, how to get started, how to get money and mostly how to buy that fabulous pair of shoes you saw :P Most of you also don't know that I am a very creative person in RL, I have worked in the flower industry on and off for most of my adult life..although currently not working in that industry but still missing it desperately. And that was the reason that I stayed in SL....it feeds my creativity. It did not take long to get bitten by the builder bug and the possibilities are endless!! Add to that my love to entertain, throwing dinner parities to large events and boom....we had the making of Evo. There is nothing like loosing yourself in a build or being immersed in creativity. Some of my hardest RL & SL times...I have grabbed my hammer or more lately my camera and have set off to leave all those issues behind and create or build something beautiful. The day that I had to put my 15 y/o basset hound, Sebastian to sleep...I came home in tears, logged in world, picked up my hammer and for the next 8-10 hours built one of my best builds ever, Creation. It didn't amaze me when it was done that it resembled a temple...i built it in honor of my boy. But in those hours i don't remember connecting a single prim...it all just flowed out of me. In recent days, it has been my photography, coming up with a concept for art, adding all the elements to make a great picture, pulling it into photo shop and working on it until it is perfect or at least something that I am very proud of.

SL has always been an extension of my RL self from the first day I picked up my hammer and started building....however, I loose myself in the build, in the creativity of it all. I forget all the issues that surround me or are effecting me at the time and focus on what is beautiful.

So my advise to you is find what brings you happiness, what is an extension of what you are and what you want to be...and then Loose yourself in it....it really is a wonderful thing.

Here is a glimpse of what i have been "loosing" myself in lately. Hope you enjoy....Huggs Clint

Time Marchs On

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Have had a lot of RL issues to deal with in the last week that has kept me away from the blog and unfortunately even out of SL...i know **gasp** LOL. It has been a difficult week for ole Clint, trying to process all of the mistakes that were made, the trust that was broken and how to put it all behind me. I really want to thank all of the people for the kind messages and concerns....you are all such awesome friends and I love you dearly. I have been spending a lot of time working on my photography and loosing myself in how to make beautiful things instead of the ugly mess that continues to swirl around me. I am trying really hard to ignore the rumors and accusations that are being said....but if you know me..I really don't think that I need respond to them. In fact, I won't. Thanks again everyone and I will see you on the dance floor. Here's a hint...i will be the one damn near naked ....snicker. Hugggs
