Cartoon of The Day: Food on Their Mind

 

 Taken at Montecito Bay. Gnoll Wife had her DJing debute, and at one point people started putting on these tall hamburger hats. How it started, I don't know. But I had an idea what it could lead to.

Cartoon of The Day: Fish Food

 

 From the Happy Vixen. My friend Meli was enjoying some Asian cuisine. So where did she get it? I came up with one possibility.

Announcement: Bay City Food Truck Festival

 

 

 Food truck culture in a virtual world

BAY CITY, SL (9 March, 2025) -  Celebrating the rise of food truck culture, Bay City will once again bring their food truck festival to the Bay City Fairgrounds in in North Channel ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/North%20Channel/128/128/24/ ) on the 23rd of March, 2025. This unique take on a food truck event brings it into Second Life®, allowing avatars of all sorts to enjoy a stroll around the lot, sampling wares. Each truck is unique, set up by residents from around the Grid.

The festival will feature DJ GoSpeed of KONA Stream, who will be providing music from noon to 2:00 p.m. SLT. The event will also feature many other fun activities, including horse shoe tossing and other pastimes. The event is free and open to the public. You do not need to be a Resident of Bay City to participate: just bring an empty stomach and prepare to have some light fun in the city’s fairgrounds.

Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.

 Taken at Kittycats. While there, there was someone in a cat avatar shopping for some food. One wonders what a real cat would be thinking.

The Bellisseria Commissary

 

Gemma Cleanslate stopped by Bellisseria the other day to check out a location that has been around for a little while but hasn't been written about yet: the Commissary at Hartsmere. You can get (virtual) food there. But you can also get some information and a chance to relax a little and maybe some conversation. So what did Gemma think?

 

Read Gemma's article in Places.

Mieville's Frendsgiving

 

 Last week on Wednesday November 15, the Mieville community had a Thanksgiving-themed event: Frendsgiving. "We will have plenty of food, good conversation, board games, and even a few picnic blankets in case anyone needs to lie down and take a nap. AND you may certainly drop by both sessions, or even stay all day long! All are welcome - hope to see you there!"

 

Friendsgiving evening dinner is under way.   Come on over for social hour and Thanksgiving dinner, hosted by Farzaneh.   Mieville Twain (103,193,752)

 

The event took place twice that day, at Noon for European residents, and at 9PM for American ones. According to the community blog, it started in 2018 with the blessing of founder Perryn Peterson. In the short time I was there, there was no shortage of conversation and (virtual) food. And yes that included the turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Bixyl Shuftan

Cartoon of The Day: Tablecloth Ghost

 

 Taken at the Furry Fashion Lounge. At their "Horror" party, someone showed up as a ghost, but wearing a tablecloth instead of a bedsheet, with sandwiches on their head. Thinking about it, well, with all the candy around, Halloween is when many diets die.

Mieville's Community Thanksgiving Dinner

 

On Wednesday November 17, the Mieville community held it's Thanksgiving Community Dinner. While aimed at the community, it was open to all. So I sent my alt RezzDammit over. The setting was arranged by Farzaneh Eel, Unalunaqat and BellaBorneBradley. 

I arrived a bit late, but there were still some people over. So I got a few pictures. I few more can be seen in Mieville's Flickr page. 

Happy Thanksgiving,

Bixyl Shuftan
