While
news of his disappearance have been far-reaching, current speculation is that Starax Statosky is merely wandering the grid in an alt. He's kinda like Bruce Banner, walking the world trying to do good, but with a huge green secret inside him ... okay, he's not at all like Bruce Banner. But this event from the Oyster Bay Sculpture Garden, Market & Aquarium in cahoots with the Crescent Moon Museum might just bring him back out!
Entitled 'Hidden Starax!', this event runs for 6 weeks, beginning on the 25th of July at the
Oyster Bay sim. Over 20 rare Starax pieces will be shown, with one or two on display at any one time, due to high prim counts. From the press release:
"The Crescent Moon Museum donated these Starax pieces to Oyster Bay because of our shared interest in bringing the finest Second Life art to SL's residents," said Tayzia Abbatoir, owner of Crescent Moon. "My Starax collection is an example of the creativity that is possible using Second Life as a medium. I'm excited that the world will have the opportunity to share in Starax's work."
Adds Morris Vig, Oyster Bay owner: "Making the free Starax pieces easily accessible to the public is a passion of Tayzia and mine. Like any collectible market, the market for Starax brings out the unscrupulous element. I personally was taken on a Starax piece when I started collecting his work and did not know the pieces were free. Offering these pieces to the public is our way of helping make sure that never happens again."
This event will also interface with the SLCC from the 24-26 of August, with the display of 3 of Starax's most prized pieces. This will be an event to remember; if anyone anywhere has any contact with Starax, let him know it's safe to come out again!

Thanks, Morris and Tayzia!)
This is the 18th in a series of largely demographic interviews that are conducted with established residents, to find out more about them and their involvement with Second Life, and to contrast the differences between their views and experiences and those of the newer residents. The questions may be tailored slightly for each interview; responses may be edited for purposes of clarity. 
This is the 13th in
