Tiki Grove Resort Welcomes Singers From Around The World

 

The Newser welcomes back Netera Landar, and she recently sent us an article about a venue with a number of live performers, the Tiki Grove Resort. She was at one of it's events, and afterwards had a few words with it's owner, Sarge Darkwyr (SgtPinback Darkwyr). So what did she think?

Veterans Day Fundraiser Concert Nets Over 140,000 Lindens

 

 On Tuesday November 11, Veterans Day, there was a benefit concert at the Voodoo Bayou Blues & Motown club. The event was to raise money for Homes For Our Troops and lasted from 2 to 12 PM SL time. 

 

 The fundraiser was organized in part by Frets Nirvana, who helped start things off, "Okies ...let's get this right kiosk going !!  I am going to kick it off... HFOTS Mission is to build and donate specially adapted custom homes for severely injured Veterans post-9/11 enabling them to rebuild their lives." DJ Marty, who was the first musician, added, "Since inception as of 1/4/25 HFOT has built 423 homes and donated them and currently have approx. 65 projects in the pipeline." DJ Fae, who was next, remarked, "And hey you guys toss a few more linden in the pot and maybe we can squeeze a few more projects into the pipeline."

Frets would occasionally match donation to keep them rolling along. Fae would also speak more, "Did you guys know that HFOT builds these homes in any state in the country where the Veterans choose to rebuild their lives.  They have currently built in 46 states.  Veterans will typically choose to settle near family and friends, close to medical services and warmer climates.  Prosthetics can easily freeze and the cold weather itself can reap havoc on them. ... So not only is HFOT building houses for our vets, they're also assigning Support Specialists for our vets too!  Just to make sure they're doing okay with the transition back to Civi life and getting all of the help that they need and supplemental services they need! How freaking awesome is that?"

 

By the end of the event, a total of 142,850 Linden dollars had been raised. 

 

Veterans Isle will be the location of the next major HFOT fundraiser, in early December.

He will lay in state in the Repose of the Capital Building,  from Monday the 10th of November for those wishing to pay their respects and sign the book of memorial.

Burn2 Art Car Races

 

On Friday night, November 7, I heard about one more event at the Burn2 area before things were cleaned up, an Art Car race event. Dropping by, some people were dancing, but others were on the tracks. 

 

The art car races are getting rolling. Choose from 24 race cars that go 100mph on our 12-region track. Lily is DJing some great tunes in the stage area. Come join us! Burning Man- Deep Hole (127,83,25) 

 

 

People would drive solo in cars or bikes, seeing how fast they could make the track.

 

 Or race with one another. 

 

 On occasion, a care of motorbike would have some mechanical difficulty, "Don't hurt yaself Sam, accidents happen."

 

So it seems the Burners were, burning rubber.

Announcement: Skin Burn

 

 The Tomorrow Today world of Burn2's Octoburn event was amazing, wasn't it? And it still not quite over yet...

SOOOOOOOOoooooooooo...What's coming? SKIN BURN! 

When?  SATURDAY, 8th November 2025
Times?  BURNS: 12pm SLT and 6pm SLT (yes, we will do it twice)
            CHECK-IN: 10-11:30am SLT, 4-5:30pm SLT
Where? (location of check-in platform to be announced on website and notices)

WHAT IS SKIN BURN? Glad You Asked!
Skin Burn is a BURN2 decompression event, an encore Burning of the Man in a low lag environment. 

WHY do we do this? 
During the weeklong annual Burn event, the sims can get pretty laggy, so some Burners don't get to see the Man Burn quite so well. Thus we have an encore Burn with lower lag for everybody.

HOW do we do it? 
We STRIP - down to our skins!

Doesn't matter - system avatar or mesh body/head avatar.  Get down to just your skin, take off and detach everything else. 
Then, decorate that avatar! Use skins, system layer clothing, BOM... get creative! EXPRESS yourself!
More details about the steps can be seen here: https://www.burn2.org/tomorrowtoday/skin-burn/

You can pick up some system skins and copies of the scales we will use at the check-in area, and prepare ahead of time:

Klaus Wulfenbach/Melanippe of Themiscyra Has Died

 

The Newser has some sad news to report. The lady behind three avatars in Second Life, two of whom we've written about has passed away. Inworld, she was known as Melanippe of Themiscyra (Melanippe Karas), Tanarian Davies, and Baron Klaus Wulfenbach (Klauswulfenbach Outlander)

 

A generous friend, devoted dog parent, and role-player par excellence has departed this life. Corgi, aka Tanarian Davies, aka Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, aka Melanippe of Themiscyra, died this morning (Nov.7) after suffering extensive brain bleeds on Oct. 30. Her beloved dogs Piston and Sparkplug are safe in a new home.
 

Melanippe was the oldest of the accounts, appearing in June 2007, the other two appeared a few months later.  

 

 Baron Wulfenback was based on the character of the same name from the "Girl Genius" online comics, the ruler of the "Pax Transylvania," and the antagonist of the strip's heroine. In SL, he was a familiar sight at Steelhead and his own sim Europa Wulfenbach. The Newser would interview him in 2012. While he dropped out of sight for some months in 2023, word has it he came back soon after Jan 2024. 

 

Melanippe of Themiscyra (melanippe.karas) was a familiar sight in the ROMA community, being a part of many events and festivals. Tanarian Davies was of a lower profile than the other two, not really getting the attention of the Newser. 

 

The Aether Salon will be doing an event on  Sunday Novemeber 16 at 2PM in her/his honor, people invited to share memories of the person's personas.

 

The Newser was not previously aware of these three avatars being the same person in real life.

 

Rest in peace,

Back To A Trench

 

 It was a couple years ago when I finally upgraded to a mesh avatar. People liked it, but a few commented they missed the trenchcoat that had been with the Luskwood and DSD avies. I wasn't sure where to look, but my friend Kitacellia found where to get one, and I did. 

 

So my "Fox Reporter" look has a trenchcoat again.

 

It's been a busy day, so this is all that's going up. And tomorrow's article is going to be late. But still trying to squeeze in a little time to write.

Veterans Isle Raises 50,000 Lindens For HFOT

 

On Sunday November 2, eterans Isle hosted a concert to raise money for Homes For Our Troops, a charity dedicated to improving and building homes for disabled veterans. Baring any further after-event donations, the event organized by Frets Nirvana would raise a total of 50,000 Linden dollars.  

 

The event was scheduled to go from 12 to 3 PM SL time. But the 2 to 3PM event was canceled.

No Second Life Veterans Tribute This Year

 

For fourteen years, the Second Life Veterans Tribute was a yearly event that honored American and other veterans, both living and deceased. But unfortunately, there will not be one this year. 

 

Eesy Spyker  (Meesoh Honi) would post the following in the Tribute's Discord group:

 

It is with a sad heart to report that this year's SLVT will not be able to be presented this year.  Due to a number of contributors, that make it happen each year, that are going through RL health issues, some with dire family issues/responsibilities and other factors out of our control, we have been unable to work on the tribute and present it this year.  We hope and pray for all involved and will strive to be able to once again provide a place honoring and remembering each and every one of our veterans.

We hope that you all find a place and a manner, in your own way, that you will still honor and remember our veterans.  Each of us contributors from SLVT hope that we will see you out and around SL, in various ways, honoring our veterans.

From all of us here at SL Veterans Tribute we wish all of our veterans, near and far, past and present, a happy and wonderful Veteran's Day, and thank them for the dedication and the price they have paid for us.  

 

Hopefully another event can be organized. But the Veterans Wall, with names contributed by many residents over the years, will be unavailable to see this year.

Last-Minute Halloween Places

 

Halloween is gone. It was a blast, but all good things must come to an end. But a certain fox had a little time this weekend to see a few Halloween-themed places. Keep in mind that they won't be up much longer. In fact, one or two may be gone by the time you read this.

Commentary: A.I. Art - Is It Stealing Your Art?

 

One of the burning issues in both the real world and online is Artificial Intelligence, or AI. There have been worries it will eventually destroy the world, and more recently Amazon announced it will be replacing some jobs with AI programs. On the Internet, there's been a big debate about the creations of AI programs: AI art. Some love it, Others hate it. Nydia Tungsten recently had a few things to say on the matter.

 

Read Nydia's commentary in Extra 

Reader Submitted: Hell-o-Wine

 

Zada Bury is best known for her "Drivers in SL" videos. But she also runs a club. With Halloween, so many venues were decorating for the spooky season. But where Zada is from, Halloween is viewed a bit differently. And she has her own ideas about what's really scary. So when it came to decorating her club, she had her own ideas.

 

Read Zada's reader submission in Events. 

 

A Busy Halloween Weekend

 

Quite a bit happened this weekend. The PBC had it's seminar about Medicare and Medicaid. Burn2 had it's Thank You Party (pic above). "The AI Land" art exhibit had it's grand opening. Rosehaven would have it's Farewell Ball. Veterans Isle would have its monthly fundraiser. Making Strides against Breast Cancer had the last of their events. 

 

 And various locations would have Halloween events.

 

We'll get to these topics when time permits.

DURING THAT TIME HFOT HAS BUILT 423 SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOMES NATIONWIDE FOR EXTREMELY INJURED VETERANS.”

"The Multiverse Fair," A Halloween Fundraiser For Parkinson's

 

The Multiverse Fair is going on. This fundraiser for Parkinson's Disease research takes place over seven sims, and is going on until Tuesday November 4.

 

Multiverse Fair is a seven region mega event in Second Life supporting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Step into the ripple where realities collide. The Multiverse Fair is not just an event, it’s a dimensional detour through twisted fantasy, surreal sci-fi, and haunted dreams. Seven realms. Countless stories. Booths, quests, secrets, and surprises await. Come get lost you might just find something impossible. One question: What even is reality? 

 

 The grounds consist of seven sins (the one on the map on the upper right is a phantom that can't be reached). Five have various themes, related to Halloween. They are Dodge City (think Weird West), Folktales and Fleshwounds, Carnival Nocturne (evil clowns), Uncanny Ink, and Lolliocalypse. 

 

The sims have some scary scenery. And I found shops all over with various goods. 

 

 Note: from the chatter on Discord, Lolliocalypse sounds super-scary to some.

 

 The mascot of the fair are the Nubbins. You can buy an animesh one for 800L,and take part in the "Hunt for Nubbins" game in which you search for little statues of the critters across the sims for prizes. 

 

Every day up to Monday Novemeber third, there are music events.  For more events, check the schedule (here).  

 

The music events take place on the EclipticAquatia sim, at (128/133/22). 

 

So to have a scary time, and support a good cause while doing so, head on over to the Multiverse Fair.

Taken at Furry Fashion. While your avatar can be sent back to it's home location (or a newbie area if you didn't set one), unless you or the Lindens delete your account, an avatar can't truly die. But some avatars make it look like you did.

"Dedication to Crim" Video Updated

 

 A few days ago, the Newser posted a "Dedication to Crim" video by Bain Finch, the song sung by Empress Luna at the memorial service to Crim Mip on October 4 with a number of screenshots. Since then, the video was taken down, and redone, giving it a new address and making the old link unviewable. It has been corrected.

 

On another note, the Newser is doing an article about the funeral, but a combination of the writer's real-life plus writing about Halloween has delayed it. It should be done soon.
