Thank you Gwen Carillon!

A beautiful summer exhibit... worth a stroll or a sit... a meditation... or a party! Gwen has decorated the corner of Marco Island with incredible sculpture in motion. From any time of day, the light catches it and casts new kaleidoscopes of color. In the moonlight, the sparkle and heat from within burns brightly. She will have her art at the Bistro Olive through July and we encourage you to support her work. All pieces are set for sale.

Her talent is unique and breathtaking. Make sure you stroll through and soak up a small piece of Gwen's incredible imagination. "Pages from a Prim Journal" is a showcase for what art can be in SL. Enjoy!

Welcome Flo!

The Bistro Olive proudly presents a new DJ addition to the crew of extraordinarres! We had a great crowd to help us welcome DJ Flo to Marco Island! DJ Flossy Carling is from Newcastle, England and provides an incredible mix of record labels such as Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, and Fierce Angel all releasing compilation albums dedicated to the genre: trance/funky house.

Thank you for braving our crazy Bistro connaisseurs... Welcome aboard!

Nina B is BACK!

We have missed having Nina B on Friday evenings. RL obligations for all of the Bistro Owners -- end of the school year festivities, graduations, hosting big conferences, and general exhaustion.

Her performance in the dining room means she can sing live from the piano and the Bistro Connoisseurs are able to enjoy fine dining, dancing alone or as a couple, and enjoy dancing out in the courtyard as well.

A late night Friday event on Marco Island ends your week with a smile and a song in your heart. Nina takes requests on Friday night and has over 100 songs on her list. Mark your calendar for next week -- you won't want to miss.

Some conversations are worth saving!

There are incredible examples of his work on each floor inside the Bistro, and alluring sculpture in the courtyard area surrounding the Bistro. Each of the works is for sale with all proceeds going to the artist, himself. Please support the creativity and hard work of artisans inworld by purchasing a piece or two for your home or establishment!

And true to its mission, the Bistro Olive celebrated the artist in a big way yesterday. Coupled with the Marco Island Spring Fashion Show from Licks and Lady Traders, Bistro Olive hosted pianist Mr. Heath Elvehjem and guitarist/vocalist Mr. Joaquin Gustav. Bistro Co-Owner and DJ Clynt Easterwood wove a fantastic collection of acoustic and relaxing music selections to bridge between the 2 live musical artists.

Mr. Sunn Thunders work will be on display through April and May 2009 and there are events almost every day of the week with a wide variety of live musical artists throughout each month. Cheers to everyone who helped make the day a success and a huge thank you to all those patrons who loyally supported and contributed lindens to the day!

Saturday Saturday!

The incredible Joaquin Gustav - acoustical jazz, blues guitarist from Buenos Aries, Argentina -  has joined the roster of musical talent at the Bistro Olive!  You will find him serenading Marco Island residents, Bistro Olive  Connoseuirs, and Savoy Stompers.  We will share him one Saturday evening a month with Savoy but his music can waft across the sim for all.  It is too good to keep hidden.

His soft romantic guitar, the smooth accent in his speaking... the perfect way to begin a romantic Saturday evening in Second Life.  Couples dancing under the stars.  Snuggle spots throughout the sim.  Come to meet friends.  Come to sip sangria.  Come to soak up the music.

Joaquin is a highly trained guitarist, born and received his music education in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the birthplace of tango. Out of his fingers comes an array of string sounds that blend the colors of Latin American culture with his own elegant performing style.
One of the hardest working musicians in SL, Joaquin never puts the guitar down. He is forever focused on giving one hundred percent to every performance. His wide range playlist includes smooth jazz, rock, tango, milonga, candombe and much more.
His magnetic charm is as appealing as his musical talent, and managed to build a very successful fan base. He has a very warm interaction with the audience, always ready for dedications and requests.
~ Joaquin Gustav, Pure Volume
