Saturday 27th were Duran Duran leadsinger Simon Le Bon’s 49th birthday, and of course this wasn’t going to be bypassed unoticed in Second Life.
Around 2pm (Linden time) people started gathering at the Club Interference, where owner Chrissy Welinder were ready with a special event T-shirt, the updated tour-plan leading up to the next Duran Duran album release on November 13th and of course lots of other Duran Duran-stuff.

And for the really die-hard-need-to-know fans… Get yourself a flight ticket to NYC. The band WILL be in New York when the album ‘Red Carpet Massacre’ releases. From the 2nd to the 13th there’ll be 10 gigs at the Broadway stage at Barrymore Theatre. For the less wealthy in Europe there’ll be an oppotunity on December 3rd, Chrissy tells. London at the Odeon on Leicester Square.
It’s not really often I run into really, really, really dedicated fans like Chrissy Welinder. This german girl/woman spends all her spare time (it seems) on three things only – paying tribute to either David Sylvian or british rock legends Duran Duran OR… Traveling the world to see them perform.
Chrissy owns an entire island dedicated only to Duran Duran-groupies. On it is a huge castle containing the Club Interference, where Duranies from all over the world come do worship their idols.
Me trying hard to look as tough as the Duran-leading-man, Simon Le Bon.
