Catsup

For the record: No, I am not an owner of Linri's Palace. When I set up the group for Linri's Best I made Linri Jewell an owner of the group. Her tag says Linri's Palace Owner so that is also a tag that registers for me. I am one of many live artists that perform at Linri's Palace so I also have a tag that says Linri's Palace Artist. And as a member of the group I am one of Linri's Best. I have been helping Linri out by meeting with the builder because of time zone differences. It is the least I can do for Linri: she has been a good friend and is a gentle person. I wear the Owner tag only when it is necessary for me to return objects or to build. Emyly Beaumont sighs because she is wearing too many hats right now.

When Linri unofficially opened the club, I set down some Chinese low boys just to fill in so we wouldn't look so empty. And one of the DJs mentioned that there were Chinese items in a Japanese build. Sheesh! Give us some time, please. So now I am looking for Japanese chests to replace the low boys and some sort of Japanese thingie to replace the glass tip jars we have been using. I thought of vases or lanterns or teacups to replace the fishbowls, but almost everything in the shops is labeled Asian or Oriental as opposed to Japanese and I don't know enough to tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Thai or even Vietnamese. I need to find help...

I did manage to find something very wonderful for the tea house - a fully scripted Japanese Tea Ceremony. I brought Linri out to see it last night, and she was as charmed by it as I was. It is very expensive, so I told her to think about it, but it would make an excellent draw.

Krise set out some truly great palms on the beach last night - they have shadows and one has a sit in the trunk. I am hoping for stairs to the upper level of the mall and the pond to arrive today. And the tea house, of course. I have done some research on Japanese gardens and at least I now know the elements that should be contained within them :)
