Cartoon of the Day: Burn2

Taken at Burn2 just after the "Burning of the Man." Pygar Bu and Marianne McCann of Bay City were among those taking part. Did Pygar really walk into the fire, or perhaps he decided to try a very painful food.

Taken at Club Cutlass. Looks like Valkyrie Ice and Akea Grommet took the theme for the club's event a bit literally.

Taken at the memorial dance party on Sunday January 24 following the service for Shady Fox. Keeba Tammas and her band of tinies were on stage when one of the band went up in flames. With Keeba's AO opening her mouth at times, there were points she looked like she was calling out. Guess the music was getting a little "hot."

Taken at Purrfection Beach. Guess that's one way to heat up hot water if one can't get a job that can pay for a jacuzzi, although it does look uncomfortably close to a cooking pot.

Mount St. Helens Erupts in Steelhead.

 On Friday evening, May 15, Mount St. Helens in Steelhead St. Helens, normally white with a little green from snow and a scattering of trees, was gray from ash and a little orange from a volcanic explosion. The water going down the side had gone yellow from sulphurous compounds.

 A closeup of the lava pool revealed quite a bit of molten rock, though it was contained to the crater and not rolling downhill onto the greenery.

And the Steelheaders having a love of fire and explosions, it wasn't long before a few came by for a small dance party. Fuzzball Ortega (not shown) was playing the music.

Steelhead St. Helens erupts about this time every year, the previous explosions of 2011 and 2012 being quite spectacular.

The mountain is at the Steelhead St Helens sim (128, 131, 38)

One Hot Party at "The Vinyl"

Thursday February 19 was "Best in Fire" at the classic rock club "The Vinyl." At 6PM, a number of residents dropped by to listen to the talented Perri Prinz spin a number of tunes in theme with the event. Most were wearing outfits to match the theme such as red or flame patters, or sporting demonic avatars or flame animations. The dance floor was also flickering with red hot flames, "Don't worry, it's concrete underneath."

DJ Perri played a number of smoking hot tunes, such as "Heat Wave," "Hot Line," "Disco Inferno," "Some Like it Hot," and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire."

Love, is a burnin' thing,
And it makes, a firey ring.
Bound, by wild desire,
I fell, into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin' ring of fire.
I went down, down, down,
and the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns,
the ring of fire, the ring of fire.

About two dozen attended the party that night. The prize that night for the best appearance in theme was raised to a red-hot $1250, of which Nikolinni Mhia was the winner.

"The Vinyl" has regular events held twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 PM SL time, and is located in HV Community (67/207/4051) .

Mount Saint Helens Erupts in Steelhead

Last week in the Steelhead sim, there were some signs that the highest mountain in the region, Mount St. Helens, was due for an eruption. And on Friday May 16, it blew.

And what did this motley group of mad scientists, elves, faries, weres, and others do when the mountain blew it's top, exposing a lava dome? They threw a party. Fuzzball Ortega was the DJ for the event. The lava and rocks were not static. Once in a while, a dome would bubble up, followed by a mini-eruption, "Oops lava bombed again." "Dang eruption threw me off my nifty steps."

The partiers wore some red and orange dresses, or at least some pretty thick shoes. Well, most of them, "I really wish you'd have given me fire resistant shoes before I plopped here." "(laughing out loud)  my feet are hot." "We test our fire-resistant outfits!" There were also a few firey avatars as well.

At one point, someone joked, "Now may I ask why we are all sacrificing ourselves to the almighty volcano god when really only one would suffice?" Someone promptly answered, "cuz no ones a virgin?" The result was chuckles, followed by more jokes, "Takes more sinners I guess." "We ran out of virgins. Hope the volcano's satisfied with lots of salmon meat."

Among those attending were sim owners Totallunar eclipse and  Tensai Hilra. Lunar told, "May 18th is the anniversary of (the) Mt St Helens eruption and coincidentally Tensai's real-life birrthday." Tensai joked, "the explosion was a warning to the world of my being born." There were a couple cakes, one chocolate, one a pile of waffle on a stick, that one could snack on.

Everyone had a good hot time.

While performing at Club Zero Gravity, Nydia Tungsten did this animation at the DJ booth.

We always did think of her as one "hot" DJ. ;-)

Volcano Party at Mount St. Helens

Last Friday was an annual tradition at the Steelhead Community. May 18th is the birthday of local Tensai Hilra. It's also the anniversary of the eruption of Mount. St. Helens. And with Steelhead having their own St. Helens and a population of mad scientists, the result was the biggest lava lamp as part of a party for Tensai.

Grey's New Land

Between news stories, Grey has been a little occupied with getting a new home. She got what she thought was a hot deal on some "new islands" on the estates where she lives. But as this picture shows, the islands were a little too new, or in her words about the deal, "it's hot hot hot!" Hopefully she's wearing some heat-resistant shoes.

Fortunately with water already starting to flow, the place should soon be fit for human (and foxette) habitation.
