Taken at Club Cutlass' "Disco Night," with SKylark Lefavre as the DJ. As the 1970s were known for some crazy hairstyles, it was only fitting for the hare to sport had hair. ;-)

Club Xanadu Reopening

Tonight at 7PM SL time, Club Xanadu of the HV Community sim will reopen to regularly scheduled events. The contest theme is best in 70s and 80s.

We will me having our first reopening test event on Sunday the 5th at 7 PM SLT.  Theme for the contest will be best in 70's & 80's.  Two contest boards.  250 L on each.  DJ Perri on the turntables.

Club Xanadu is owned by RECoyote Mindes and Perri Prinz, sometimes called "Perri's Xanadu." The club has a long history in the Sunweaver and Angel community. It first opened in May 2009, it's design based on the Pan-Pacific Auditorium which in the movie "Xanadu" was turned into a club. Perri has a reputation for being a great DJ, with one of the best selections of 60s and 70s classic rock. The club has temporarily closed to regular events in the past, last doing so in May 2015 due to the real life difficulties of the owners. But the club would still have occasional events, such as Perri's birthday party. The club was the setting of the Newser's Fifth Anniversary party.

The club currently has job openings for hosts and DJs. Those interested please instant-message Perri Prinz

"The Vinyl Museum" Reopens

On Monday December 2 at 8PM SL time, a club in the HV Community sim became active once again. Perri Prinz, a sci-fi writer and a popular DJ was reopening her club. It was now known as "The Vinyl Museum," a reference to Perri specializing in 60s and 70s music.

The Green Meadow Lands ballroom has morphed into The Vinyl Museum, and is now beginning its first event.  Come on up and enjoy some happy vinyl era music played by vinyl era bunnies.  And if they get enough listeners the bunnies might even throw some money around.  The theme is do your own thing or come as you are.  We don’t care what you wear, as long as you look good. The prize is 200 L for every 5 listeners we see on the DJ board.


I had talked to Perri earlier. She was confident she could now keep the club up and running on a regular basis. With few others having events at 8PM, she decided to play at that time slot and keep at it to build an audience over time. She would also have some help, HollyAnn Lapina (Lacy Carver). On nights that Perri would be unable to play, HollyAnn would perform in her place. Also, there would be no themes. Every night would be a "come as you are" with all visitors eligible to win as long as they were dressed decently.

The crowd of the grand opening was somewhat small, a little more than a dozen. But a happy time was had by all. More cash was added to the board and the 200L became 2000L. At the end of the party, it was announced that the votes were evenly divided among four winners.

The club has been around for quite a well. It was originally called Club Xanadu, but with other Xanadu style clubs around, people called it "Perri's Xanadu." The name would persist even when the club was renamed the Green Meadows Club.

Set on a platform high over HV Community, the club is based on the Pan Pacific Auditorium, which was the building used in the movie Xanadu. The interior is dominated by a discotech dance floor. Having the look of a disco club from the past, the place has a number of posters and album covers up. The stacks of vinyl records

The Vinyl Museum will play every night at 8PM and is at HV Community (67, 207, 4051).

Green Meadows Club Reopening Tonight

For some time, the Green Meadows Club (aka Perri's Xanadu) has had it's regular events on hiatus. Tonight, the classic rock is coming back for a "Feeling Groovy" late 60's party.

"Spring's in the air, and time to look back to the late '60s. Go get your bell-bottoms, your peace symbols, your pie-dyed t-shirts, and anything else psychedelic and bubblegum. DJ Perri will provide the classic tunage, with 500 L on the board. It's a blast from the past, and you're all invited. Peace out."

Formerly known as Xanadu, the club offers a 60's/70's feel, plus owner Perri Prinz is among the most knowledgable DJs in Second Life of the era, as well as playing top music from the 80's to today.

The event is tonight from 6-8 PM at HV Community (68, 207, 4051)
