Cartoon of The Day: Sunken Dance

 

 

 Taken at Club Balance. When one steps on things in SL, your avatar's height usually adjusts, but not always, resulting in feet that look like they're sunken in holes or soft ground. But with this guy having a lady friend on his shoulders, it looked less like a glitch and more like his feet really sunk in.

The Savoy

 

Most longtime Second Life residents have probably heard of Creations for Parkinsons, a beautiful area created years ago by Barbie Alchemi for her mother Fran Seranade. Reporter Netera Landar went there to check out the location, and had a few words with it's manager, Mathew Kosse. The place has evolved over the years, continuing to both entertain and impress.

Cartoon of The Day: Too Much Xmas Cheer?

 

 Taken at "Muddy's." While there, one of the dancers was all decked out for Christmas. My mind turned to the jokes about stores playing certain music way too soon and too often.

Cartoon of The Day: Breakdance Fail

 

 

 Taken at a music event at Outshop Cancer. One guy was breakdancing. But I couldn't help but wonder that in years to come, in real life a guy wouldn't find it so easy after a while.

Cartoon of The Day: Cat And Mouse

 

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen. DJ Snowy, as the feline, was wondering if the scene would make for a good cartoon. Looking at the picture, I noticed one certain detail for a punch line.

Announcement: "Celebrate Ascendant Base's Grand Opening" in Star Wars Sim

 

You are cordially invited to come party among the stars at the grand opening of the Ascendant Base (a science fiction sim in the Star Wars Roleplay universe). We will have music with DJs and live music from Spiral Sands, Gypsy Witch, Kyizl and more from 6 PM to 9 PM SLT on Saturday January 22nd, 2022.

Ascendant Base is a science fiction sim in the Star Wars Roleplay universe that is open to all players and science fiction fans. It is a full and maxed-out sci-fi sim made by fans large enough to have room for multiple role-play events to co-occur.

There will be tours of a 6 level 300-meter-tall space station and the planet it orbits.

Whether you are a Star Wars Role-Player on Second Life or just a fan, come out and join us for this grand opening and bring your sci-fan friends.


The landmark will be live 24 hours before the event: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ascendent%20Base/118/128/4004

At The Renaissance Festival (Joust a Linden Today)

 

The Second Life Renaissance Festival has been going on all week. In a four sim area next to American Cancer Society, various events have been taking place such as jousting (above), melee combat, and roleplay. But there's also been plenty of music events people can just drop in and dance. 

Besides the DJ events, there are also live performers. There was one late last night at 9PM by Dee Freund (Dilah Halostar), the "Grand Finale" that night. 

The Festival runs to Sunday October 3. Events in the final few days include jousting with a Linden or Mole today, Thurs Sept 30 from 12 to 3 PM. 

On Friday October 1, if you want to get back at the Lindens for something such as the lag or teleport crashes, you'll have your chance as several Lindens and Moles will be at the pillory. The pelting with rotten tomatoes and other less than fresh produce lasts from 1 to 3 PM. 

Saturday October 2 is also the day of the drawing of a raffle, the chance to create a new last name for residents to use (and the option to change your surname). The drawing will be 8:45PM SL time. Tickets cost 100L each, or 3 for 200L.

And for those looking for a game, there is the Queen's Quest. Somehow, someone stole her library, and there will be a reward for whom can get it back.

For more information, check the event's blog here: https://slrenaissancefestival.com/ . 

Correction: We originally reported that the Lindens at the Pillory event was on Saturday Oct 2. We apologize for the error.

Cartoon of the Day: DDR Winning Move

Taken at the RFL Home and Garden gacha sale. There was a spinoff of the "Dance Dance Revolution" arcade game there, which two ladies I was with tried out. Some gamers take energy drinks to stay alert for long periods. But would "Red Bull" give another advantage?
