RFL Track Sneak Peek: Space Bar

 

 

Taken at the Relay track. With the theme being Decades of Hope, someone had a retro-future space bar reminiscent of 1950s space movies. Gives the term "moon pie" new meaning.

The Relay Weekend is from Saturday June 8 to Sunday June 9.

 

Cartoon of The Day: Drunk as A What?

 *

Taken at Club Cutlass. Yes, the expression is "drunk as a skunk." But what creature outdoes all the others on Earth when it comes to getting plastered?

Cartoon of the Day

Last month, I wrote about a friend getting the boot from a place because they didn't like his nonhuman appearance. So when some friends and I went to a pub while exploring around, and I saw the owner had put a bunny mask on the bartender, my imagination went to work as how that could have come about.

(Click here if the video fails to play)

The latest video from Linden Lab, "Second Life Destinations : Bars and Pubs," was released on March 17. It features two bars, including "The Blarney Stone" of the Dublin sim, perhaps the grid's most famous pub.

Taken at Aero Pines' Superbowl party. It seems two friends on a "ladies night out" have different things on their minds.

Calas Galadhon's Wine Bar and Gallery

Last week, the Newser published a reader submitted article on Calas Galadhon's Glanduin sim. As it turned out, there was more about the Park that was new. There was a new wine bar, as well as an art gallery with works by Hamish Blakely and Paul Van Ginkel. Gemma Cleanslate went to check them out.

Grand Opening at Bandit's Hideout

Tonight is the Grand Opening of the Bandit's Hideout Pub. Owned by Bandit Starrwolf (banditwolf100) the Hideout is an Irish-themed club in the Drakon sim that promises to be a place of music, fun, and revelry. "I have a traditional Irish pub setting with all the refinements of larger establishments." Bandit told me, "I don't know about other places, but we are here to have fun."

The opening event will have lots of cash prizes. Bandit told me  there will be "500L being given away every 30 minutes in random drawings." Plus there will be a 500L Best in Irish contest. But there's also something that yours truly has never heard of before as part of a grand opening event: a barroom brawl. Bandit will be handing out seven HUDs for the event for seven brawlers, "I will use the name randomizer if I have a lot of brawlers and hooligans show up," plus take part himself. 1000 Lindens goes to the last one standing.

Dropping by the place, there were certainly plenty of the trappings of an Irish pub, with lots of barstools around a central bar. But there was also a dance floor, as well as some couches with optional cuddle poses for couples. A peek upstairs revealed there was more to do between parties besides chat. There were three games: Russian Roulette, "Cards Against Humanity," and "Greedy," in addition to a pool table. So there were quite a few ways to keep a crowd entertained.

While there, I ran into the barkeep, Provokescene, "I bartend for this place." As it turns out, the bar has already been open unofficially for a week, "We've played Russian Roulette and have locked bandit in the bathroom and party hard." Asking about details of the bathroom incident, "We were all having a good time on voice and laughing while he went afk and we moved him in there. (laughter) He came back scared and got all jokey while everyone was laughing hard."

Asking him about the planned barroom brawl, Provokescene felt it came about, "Because the people here like to be spontaneous and have fun and Bandit came up with the idea ... it's really fun here and you can be yourself here."

The Grand Opening is tonight at 8PM at Drakon (110/35/22)
