Club contests sometimes have ties. And when there are separate boards for men and women, ties on both for an event are rare, but they do happen. But what about an event in which seven people instead of two end up winning because of ties? That happened recently at Club Cutlass.

DJ Naughty Nydia's Twisted Christmas Special

 

Different clubs do different things around Christmastime. Some play lots of Christmas tunes. Some had special events. And then there's what's become a tradition at the Happy Vixen for the past seven years, DJ Naughty Nydia's "Twisted Christmas Special." For two hours, she played a selection from mild to wild to "are you kidding me?" It was a well-attended event with plenty of folk.

"Sharknado" At The Happy Vixen

You wouldn't expect much to happen at a sleepy little beach club. But the Happy Vixen has seen it's share of excitement over time from Relay events, to Halloween parties, and more. Recently, the venue was the scene of a "Sharknado." It started off as a more-or-less regular party, minus some landwalker sharks joining the regulars. But the weather soon took a turn for the worse, and the little beach club experienced winds like never before.

The Flying Pickle Lounge and Sheba Metaluna

Montecito Bay has a number of clubs. But there's only one "Flying Pickle Lounge." The club with the funny name it's fans "relish" appeared over the community not long ago. We recently had a few words with it's owner, Sheba Metaluna. It turns out the club's been around for a while, and had been flying from place to place before it finally had a home. To the locals, they make a big "dill" out of it.

The Eternal Desires Club

Some clubs are difficult to distinguish from others, appear and disappear after only a few months. And some stand out and stand the test of time. Among the later is Eternal Desires. After ten years, the club has lasted through changing times, drama, even the deaths of some important staff. It's also succeeded in achieving what many clubs strive for but never quite get: a clearly diverse following of different types of avatars. The Newser recently interviewed it's owner, Blackened Merlin, and she had much to say about the club, and those who helped make it what it is.

Reader Submitted: Xanadu's "Fallout" Party

Perri Prinz is a DJ and the owner of the Xanadu classic rock club in Second Life, as well as the writer of "Spectral Shadows." On the night of Sunday April 9, Xanadu ran a "Fallout" themed party. A game of a post-apocalyptic setting might seem like an odd theme for a classic rock club. But as it turns out, the music from the Fallout games comes from what Perri describes as a "lost period" in music history that the game was helping to revive interest in. Perri would write about the event afterwards.

Club Cutlass Gets a Touch-Up

 For the first time since it's christening in March 2015, the current Club Cutlass, also known as Cutlass VI, has gotten some changes. Last week, Cynthia Farshore and Shockwave Yarreach made some adjustments on the ship.

While the basic design is still the same, the ship has been widened some, and the hull smoothed a bit. The widening is most noticeable on the dance deck, which now has some side areas with a few couches for people who would rather sit than dance. The side passageways to and back from the quarters have also been widened, to the relief of dragon DJ Geerkil whom occasionally performs at Cutlass, and more recently the Happy Vixen. The deck's appearance is also different, resembling varnished wood. One more difference was the altitude of the ship, raised to about 750 meters over the ground.

Underneath the ship, one can find the boilers and driveshafts. There's also a mad doctor's lab, a brig (rumor has it used when Rita Mariner thinks Gil has been naughty), and a bomb rack with bay doors.

Two particular changes were actually made weeks ago, the addition of a couple mascots. Next to the DJ booth is a parrot that moves around a little, and once in a while flies around. Between the booth and the left dancepole is a small hollow log where a weasel inside occasionally pokes his head out from one of the holes. The weasel has been named "Captain Cutlass." So far no name yet for the parrot.

Saturday October 22 was the first party after the last of the changes made.  Not everyone was completely happy with the changes. One local expressed disappointment that she could no longer see the club from her window. But most were happy with them, especially Rita Mariner the Sunweaver chieftess.

One change isn't about the ship, but the contest rules. The rule about contest winners having to sit the next one out has been temporarily lifted, possibly because of a number of ties in recent events.

The new landmark is now at Sunweaver Bay (114/117/757). Regular events are on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 6-8PM, though some people drop in early and hand around after the contests. People also gather occasionally between events. Jenni Greenfield is in charge of club events.

The Ark

If you're one of Second Life's longtime furred residents, chances are you've heard of "The Ark." Owned and run by Shadowquine Maltz, this club high above the Quarabia sim has been running for about a decade. If you're looking to socialize, you're sure to find a crowd there as the place runs most if not all of the day and night. But as it's an adult-themed club with nude girls on dancepoles, and with the crowds come lag that can slow down some residents, the place is not for everyone. But despite the lag, people come, "People just like The Ark."
