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.

Cartoon of The Day: Hare-Raising

 

 Taken at Paradise Lounge. Among the people there was this guy whom in real life would be close to ten feet tall. Maybe he should be in an 80s band, since they were known for "big hare."

From MelpomeneThalia Eton: "I'm just wearing my costume from a year or two ago." 

 

Exhibit: "The Cartoon Art of Charles Addams"

 

There's an art exhibition appropriate for the spooky season of October. Strangeland Studios is hosting an exhibit on "The Cartoon Art of Charles Addams." 

 

It's time to pay a call on the Addams Family!  Our annual Halloween show will be up from October 1 thru the end of November! AT STRANGELANDS STUDIOS

 

Charles Addams was a cartoonist for the New Yorker whom is known for toons with a macabre sense of humor, notably those focusing around an eccentric family of whom lived in a spooky mansion, the two kids were trying to kill one another, the butler resembled the Frankenstein monster, and whose idea of fun is walking around graveyards. First drawing art for The New Yorker in 1933, the first of these cartoons appeared in 1938. He would continue doing his work until his death in 1988, having done a total of about 1200 cartoons. 

Before his time at the New Yorker, Addams had a job at True Detective magazine, touching up photographs of corpses to remove the blood before they were put into stories, "A lot of those corpses were more interesting the way they were."

 

The exhibit is by Rory Torrance (rory Torrance), and will be up until after Halloween.
