Relaystock Starts Today

 

 Today marks the first day of the Relaystock, the yearly three day tribute to the 1969 Woodstock music festival for the Relay for Life. From Friday April 10, to Sunday April 12, there won't be sex and drugs, but there will certainly be rock and roll and plenty of it. 

 

While hosted by the Relay Rockers, the event involves many teams. Many have small campsites across the Relaystock grounds (picture taken yesterday, so some spots had just placeholder items then). 

 

Sad to say this will be the final Relaystock. Real life has been catching up to many of the Relay Rockers, who have been hosting the event year after year. While some will continue to be on SL next year, it won't be as often.  

 

The schedule for today is as follows.  

 

12:30pm – DJ Candi 
Harmony Of Hope

2:00pm – DJ  TBA
Meowgick Littlefolks

3:30pm – DJ Teiko Moxie 
Rainbows Of Hope

5:00pm – DJ Gem Sunkiller
Love, Life & Legacy

6:30pm – DJ Wyldchild Raven & DJ Chevelley Rune
Sugar Skols

8:00pm – DJ  Boone Alpha
Alpha Hope Force

RFL Announcement: Relaystock 2026 - The Last Dance

 

 Get Ready For RelayStock© – One More Time

On April 10-12 the Relay Rockers will host the 13th annual gathering of the teams at
RelayStock ©  (Annual Multi Team Fundraising event)  

The team, which was founded in 2005 and has participated in every Relay For Life in Second Life has decided that 2026 will be the final RelayStock©.  The team itself will retire from active relaying after this season.

The Rockers are dedicating their final season to long-time member Madelyn Majestic, who is currently undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer.  Mady was diagnosed late last year after being reminded to get her exam by the Making Strides campaign.  “Never doubt what you do here is important.”  Mady stated, “Making Strides prompted me to schedule my exam that found the  cancer. With all the knowledge I gained from all of you and the ACS website, I knew what questions to ask and what to expect. As I go through this journey, I’m so immensely grateful to all of you and everything you’ve done to help fight back against cancer.”

In addition to RelayStock the team is currently planning to hold Bid The Lindens Bald©, its annual collaboration with Linden Lab, on Wednesday, April 15th.  This event, the 10th annual iteration of the popular fund raiser, will also be the last one.

Registration for  RelayStock ©– The Last Dance opens March 2d.  Space is limited and allocated on a first come first serve basis.

For the 12th year in a row, we have transformed the region into a 1969 NY State of Mind Farm for this year's Biggest Rock Festival in support of Relay For Life of Second Life!  Max Yasgur's 600 acre farm became the most famous concert location in RL history (Woodstock) and we can't wait for you to come enjoy the experience all over again, or maybe for the first time.  Complete with the mud bogs and mud slides, we are ready to rock and roll.

 

The sim is full up of various campsites by various teams.

 

 

And various singers, DJs, and bands, will be up on stage. Here's today's schedule

Cartoon of the Day: Hippie Sunglasses

 

 

 Taken at Club Cutlass' "Hippie Night." Some of what people wore back then was more than a little "far out," including some people's sunglasses. While lenses that change color when the light chaged weren't quite developed yet, if they had, one certain style back then might get some people wondering.

"Wootstock" At Raglan Shire

 *

In the tiny community of Raglan Shire this weekend, it was three days of "Peace, Love, and Waffles" as they held their "Wootstock" festival. This whimsical tribute to the 60s Woodstock festival took place at a skybox over Raglan Shire over three days from Friday July 22 to Sunday July 24.

Various DJs and live musicians would play on stage, some of them local talent. Friday had "Effinjay" (Jaycatt Nico and Frogg Marlowe). Saturday had Keebas and the Tiny Maniacs. 

Sunday had performers such as Songbird, Maximus, and Quartz.

Gypsy Witch Sands (GypsyW1tch Resident) had a rather trippy-looking performance with particles giving the place a psychedelic look. "What ya put in these waffles?" "~~ WOW MAN!! WINTER WOOTSTOCK IS COOL!!!!! THE COLORZ.. ZOMG LOOK AT THE COLORZZZZ WOWWWWWW ~~"

"~~ OK we've had some words that theres some BAD PANCAKE PUFFS ON A STICK circulating in the crowd! ~~ ~~ PLEASE Stay Away from the Pancake Puffs on a Stick!! you could Get Violently Ill!! ~~"

It was a fun tribute to the 60s.

By Nitwacket on July 27, "Keeba and The Tiny Maniacs at Wootstock 2020, Raglan Shire. What Isolation? Party On Raglan!" The 2020 edition of Wootstock was a 60's tribute with a touch of 2020 thrown in with the mask, and of course Raglan Shire tiny zaniness. And that's just catnip they're smoking ... probably.
