Asking for help is never easy, and I think we all feel that. What we’re raising isn’t a huge amount, but it is more than any one of us can manage alone. That’s why we’re contributing what we can, and why we’re opening the door for others who loved or admired Luna to be part of this beautiful gift we want to give to them and to Luna’s family.

I want to stand beneath the night sky and know that one shining point of light carries Luna Lunaria’s name, a permanent place in the heavens for someone who meant so much to me and to our community. This is our way to honor their memory, to hold onto something bright in the midst of loss.

If you feel moved to join us, please give whatever you can. Every bit helps bring us closer to making this tribute real. Thank you, truly, for being part of this.

Mercado Navideño, 2025 el Sueño de Jhon, vestuarios, regalos, decoración, y una gran pista de patinaje sobre hielo, donde pasareis momentos navideños super agradables, encontrareis a nuestro Papa Noel donde haceros la foto de recuerdo de esta Navidad 2025, os esperamos

Darrell Lance Abbott (August 20, 1966 – December 8, 2004), known professionally as Dimebag Darrell, was an American musician. He was the guitarist of the heavy metal bands Pantera and Damageplan, both of which he co-founded alongside his brother Vinnie Paul. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time.

While on tour with Damageplan, Abbott was shot and killed by a deranged fan during a performance at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus, Ohio on December 8, 2004. Three others were shot and killed before the perpetrator was killed by a police officer.

It was said that Dime's drummer brother, Vinnie Paul, only escaped with his life due to the sacrifice of band security lead, Jeffrey "Mayhem" Thompson, who tackled the crazed shooter, Nathan Gale, and gave his own life in the process. Vinnie took some time off and released some tribute materials in his brother's honor.

In June 2006, after an 18-month hiatus, Vinnie was not sure if he would return to music, but eventually joined the heavy metal supergroup Hellyeah, which featured vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett from Mudvayne, guitarist Tom Maxwell from Nothingface, and bassist Bob Zilla from Damageplan, who was a replacement for original bassist Jerry Montano. Abbott recorded six studio albums with the band. On June 22, 2018, Vinnie died at his Las Vegas home at age 54. It was later revealed that Vinnie had died from "dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease". In May 2019, it was announced that Hellyeah would tour for the first time since Vinnie's death to support the final album he recorded with the band, Welcome Home. Stone Sour drummer Roy Mayorga was chosen as Abbott's replacement.

Now that we know the who and the when, let me use my personal words to convey why this became a yearly holiday to me. On December 9th, 2004, word reached me about Dime's murder and the incident at the Al Rosa Villa Nightclub in Columbus, Ohio. In my teens and early 20's, i was very much into hip-hop and r&b. These styles of music brought me happiness and great joy. My best friend down the street, James, would everyday be on his guitar. The most common song he played the most was Cemetary Gates by Pantera. This tune was taught to him by our mutual friend, Jeremy, who himself was in a few bands, and was formerly on Pantera's street team. Dimebag even signed Jeremy's gf at that time's pregnant tummy. It all wore off on me, and while I've never given up my love of hip-hop and r&b, i have expanded my music interests 10-100fold in the past 20-30 years.

I was this close to attending the damageplan show at Harpo's in Detroit with my friends in April of 2004. I did the responsible thing and went to work, instead. I considered going to the columbus show where the shooting happened, or to the one in flint Michigan that was to occur the next day, had the shooting not happened. What I did do is organize a gathering with a few coworkers, got a fresh fifth of Jack Daniels, and drank damn near the entire bottle all myself. Words cannot express how deeply i feel this loss. Pantera was the foundation for my rock evolution. My rock portal, if you will.

In 2018 I sadly added Vinnie Paul to my memorial holiday. I feel it appropriate to celebrate the lives of these 2 brothers, both rock legends in their own rights, together. Anyone interested in getting drunk, smoking a blunt, rocking out and partying with us, is more than welcome to join us. I will be djing Pantera, Damageplan, and Hellyeah in loving memory of the Abbott brothers, at my theme park region, Pridelands, on our Homelandz grid. So saddle up with the original Cowboys from Hell, and rock out on this journey with us!

Liebe Clubtänzer und Musikzuhörer,

am kommenden Dienstag, den 9. Dezember gibts ab 20:00 Uhr (Vormusik ab 19:30) in der Musikalischen Rumpelkiste wieder eine "Wilde Mischung" in der Hauptgeschmacksrichtung "Fundstücke": Titel die Rubeus frisch "gefunden" hat und Stücke die er gut findet, Titel die er merkwürdig findet...

Drum findet Ihr Euch ein im GridTalkClub - wir freuen uns auf Euch alle.
Dear club dancers and music lovers,

Next Tuesday, December 9th, starting at 8:00 PM (pre-show music from 7:30 PM), the Musical Junk Box will once again feature a "Wild Mix" with the main flavor of "Found Treasures": tracks that Rubeus has recently "discovered," tracks he likes, tracks he finds strange...

So come join us at the GridTalkClub – we look forward to seeing you all.

Joe Bonamassa – Der Erbe des Blues-Rock aus dem Norden

In den verschneiten Wintern von New Hartford, New York, wo der Hudson River sich durch eisige Landschaften windet,
begann eine Reise, die den Blues-Rock neu beleben sollte.
Joe Bonamassa, geboren als Joseph Leonard Bonamassa am 8. Mai 1977 in Utica, wuchs in einer Familie auf,
in der Musik nicht nur gespielt, sondern gelebt wurde...

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.
