Cartoon of The Day: Lending A What?

 

 From Club Scorn. One partier was in a witch costume, and had on her shoulder what resembled "Thing" from the Addams Family.

 

I could easily imagine how she came across it.

Slosh Kosh 2026, Aviation And Camping Event

 

The Slosh Kosh is taking place in Second Life.  It could be described as part camping event and part air show. It's taking place over four sims, Rhodium, Osmium, Iridium, and Platinum. It started on the ninth, and is going on to Sunday October 18

 

I was told about the event through someone in the "Drivers of SL" group, and talking to someone else was informed most of the campers came through that group, which organized it with the SL Aviation Network. This is the second year the event has taken place, and is apparently based on the real-life annual air show and gathering at two airports near Oshkosh Wisconsin, organized by a group of aviation fans. 

 

To my knowledge, there are still a few camping spots, "each camper gets 120LI for their campsite," and setting up is free. There are some rules to follow, two of the sims having additional restrictions, so read them before setting up.  

 

There are a few places people have set up vehicle stores. One is offering a free "speeder." It is at Iridium (212/214/121). There are air show events by squadrons, on Friday October 16, Saturday October 17, and Sunday October 18 (and some practice hours before these), with Sunday being the most active day. For music fans, there are DJ events. One can find a schedule HUD for both at the music stage. And besides the flying, watching air shows, and being at the music parties, one can just hang out at the camps with friends and airplane fans. 

 

Once again, the event is taking place until Sunday October 18.

Announcement: Halloween at Book Island

 

We have our little graveyard up for events, or just to chill, and our reading pavilion and games room are decorated for the season as well so you can play Cheesy in the icy grip of a skeleton chair, or ride one of the spooky horses wandering near the pavilion, and if you ask nicely they might not gallop you straight to Hades. And most importantly... we don’t have one freakin’ pumpkin out.

Coming Soon: The Octoburn

 

 A Second Life yearly tradition will be taking place in a few days. After weeks of preparation, the main Burn2 festival, sometimes called the "Octoburn," is just about ready to take place. From Friday October 16 to Sunday October 25, over 12 sims there will be music shows, numerous displays of art, and other events such as the Lamplighters. The high points of the festival, the Burning of The Man and the Temple Burn, will take place Saturday October 24 and Sunday October 25 respectively.

 

Burn2 is based on the real-life Burning Man festival, which is considered a partial inspiration for the creation for Second Life.

Cartoon of The Day: Hell of A Delivery

 

 Taken at one of DJ Pilot's parties. One guy in a demonic-looking avie was in a pizza delivery outfit. That made me think of a certain "Far Side Cartoon." 

 

Something tells me whatever's on the pizza would have even the most fanatical "never pineapple" guy craving a Hawaiian pie.

Hurricaine Isaias Hits Southern US Coast, Half Million Without Power, More To Come

 

 Last night on the evening of Friday October 9, Hurricaine Isaias hit landfall on the American Gulf Coast at the western end of the Florida panhandle, near the town of Destin, Florida. It struck as a Category Two storm, with winds of 105 miles an hour. More than 300,000 have lost power in Florida and almost 200,000 in Alabama, with thousands more in Georgia and Mississippi. The storm is expected to make it's way up Alabama and into Tennessee and Kentucky and eventually moving beyond, causing flooding and additional outages. 

 

Second Life residents who live in the path of the storm are likely to experience power outages and get knocked offline. So don't be surprised if your friend list is showing fewer than normal as active.

The Happy Vixen's Halloween Haunt

 

 

Remember when yesterday the Newser mentioned something new at the Happy Vixen? Well, we can reveal it now. What we showed was a door, one leading to this year's Halloween Haunt at the Happy Vixen, 

 

The Haunt was built by the talented Jasmine Dawn. Over the years, Jasmine has built several haunts for the Sunweaver/Angels' beach club, the last one "The House at Haunted Hill" in 2022. 

 The Halloween Haunt was officially opened for partying on the evening of Thursday October 8, with DJ Charlee playing her tunes before a sizeable crowd. 

 

 Hey there peeps! We're in for a double treat tonight. Not only is our awesome DJ Charlee playing her tunes, but we have our special Halloween Haunt ready, courtesy of Jasmine Dawn, which is where our parties will be until after Halloween. To get there, go through the door at the beach club's dance floor, then go through the spooky fog down the trail. You can't miss the haunt. Come on over and dance away to DJ Charlee's fantastic tunage. Oh, and don't forget to set the viewer to Shared Environment or Midnight.

 

This included some people who haven't gone to the beach club often, and a few I hadn't seen there before. Much was talked about, notably Halloween jokes and the Caledon Downs Halloween Ghost Hunt.  

 

 The Halloween Haunt will be up until after Saturday October 31.

Shining The Light On The Midnight Cabaret

 

Netera Landar recently stopped by the Midnight Cabaret. This venue was well-designed with a picturesque interior and good music for the parties. Netera would have a few words with Melita, one of the staff behind the place, about how it came to be and what makes it stand out from other places to party.

 

Read Netera's article in Design.
