Halloween Celebrations in Second Life

There isn't another holiday quite like Halloween. While Second Life more or less allows one to look like what they want to, this spooky fun time allows it's residents to take on a look they normally wouldn't. Bixyl Shuftan was at a number of Halloween events, many in his home community of the Sunweaver/Angels, and took a number of pictures.

See the pictures in Events.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at the Green Fairy. Who knows why this visitor looking like a Lovecraft fan showed up like this. It's been stated that any mortal whom had the misfortune of seeing the face of the Old God would go insane. But there are things in real life that many wonder if someone could easily go insane trying to understand them.

Happy New Year Second Life

New Year's Eve was celebrated in many places across Second Life, probably in dozens, maybe hundreds of places. Yours truly could cover only a few locations in which the residents bade farewell to 2013, and rang in 2014.

 At Roma, people gathered at two times. In the afternoon when European time zones were reaching Midnight, and just before the American ones were.

I happened to be there when the real life city of Rome reached Midnight. At one minute to the hour, a ball dropped, and hitting the base, the Roman numerals for 2014 (MMXIV) lit up.

At DaVinci Isle, there was a party at Madpea's Christmas Park.

Madpea leader (also known as Her Evil Highness) Kiana Writer was among the partiers there.

Later, the "Peas" headed to the Commune Utopia in the Orga sim.

New Babbage also had a celebration, with a few "urchins" such as Loki Elliot present, as well as Avariel Falcon, the Relay for Life's dark unicorn.

Steelhead held it's party at the "Green Fairy" club, with Willow Leafstorn DJing.

Holocluck Henly held a party at his 50's themed "Starship Diner" (picture from Holocluck).

 At 6PM SL time, Club Zero Gravity began it's New Year's Party.

 DJ Cynthia Farshore provided the tunes for the event, beginning and ending the dance with "Aud Laung Saung." Others at the party included owner Nydia Tungsten, and "Rezzdammit."

 Someone in the Relay for Life group, Msw Tomorrow, passed out some fireworks, and other special effects.

Two kinds of avatar were prominent at the party. Deer avatars, a result from the "Happy Nude Deer" pun, and for some reason skunk avatars. Perhaps because they were black and white formal.

The party lasted until Midnight SL time, at which time the remaining, tired, partiers, finally retired for the night. The 2000L prize was shared by Dusk Griswold and Jasmine Dawn Shuftan.
