By Nitwacket on July 27, "Keeba and The Tiny Maniacs at Wootstock 2020, Raglan Shire. What Isolation? Party On Raglan!" The 2020 edition of Wootstock was a 60's tribute with a touch of 2020 thrown in with the mask, and of course Raglan Shire tiny zaniness. And that's just catnip they're smoking ... probably.

For pictures of the event, check out the "Friends of Raglan Shire" Flickr page. Andrea Jones also took a number of Keeba Tammas' event.

(Click here if the video fails to play)

From Eddi Haskel on August 2009, "for more information see www.slwoodstock.com. Woodstock at 40 is a 4-day celebration of the original event in 1969, from August 14 - August 17 2009. Over 90% of the original music will be played in the Blue Nile region of the Virtual World of Second Life. Photographer Eddi Haskell created this photo montage of the third day, combining his photography with Grace Slick singing Jefferson Airplane's classic Woodstock hit 'Somebody to Love.' Please note: Although this is day 3 of the Festival in the Virtual World of Second Life, it corresponds to the second full day at Woodstock 1969 on Sunday"

Green Meadows Club Reopening Tonight

For some time, the Green Meadows Club (aka Perri's Xanadu) has had it's regular events on hiatus. Tonight, the classic rock is coming back for a "Feeling Groovy" late 60's party.

"Spring's in the air, and time to look back to the late '60s. Go get your bell-bottoms, your peace symbols, your pie-dyed t-shirts, and anything else psychedelic and bubblegum. DJ Perri will provide the classic tunage, with 500 L on the board. It's a blast from the past, and you're all invited. Peace out."

Formerly known as Xanadu, the club offers a 60's/70's feel, plus owner Perri Prinz is among the most knowledgable DJs in Second Life of the era, as well as playing top music from the 80's to today.

The event is tonight from 6-8 PM at HV Community (68, 207, 4051)

Pip's Acid Trip

The psychedelic 60’s can be found at the latest rotating installation on the Syzygy community. “Welcome to Pip’s Acid Trip: An Ode to Olo!” begins at the Community Center on Syzygy Eos (15, 10, 76). Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks created the installation and named it in honor of resident Olorin Tigerpaw.

The build consists of three levels, all wildly reminiscent of that groovy era of peace and love. The first level is easily reached from a teleporter in the Community Center. You will be transported into a meadow of happy, smiling flowers. Explore this magical, vegetative matter until you fall into the secret passage that leads to the second level, a psychedelic sphere of color and grooviness.

As you explore this sphere, you will fall into the third level, which was the site a wild party on July 23. Frequency Picnic served as DJ, and over a dozen residents and friends of the Syzygy community danced and told tales of that bygone time. Dance cages, fantastic flowers and even an old VW van set the scene.

Some residents claimed to have had first-hand knowledge of those times. Olorin Tigerpaw lived on a hippie commune for a while. The best event was recounted by Crescent Renard, who told about seeing Jimi Hendrix play at UCLA. She and her friends were right up by the stage. “He was ... taking joints from, or giving them to, the audience,” she remembered, “and he was playing like crazy ... guitar behind his back, everywhere.” Other residents were suspiciously silent about any memories they might have made. But for the duration of the party, at least, everyone was a flower child.

This resident installation is temporary, so visit it soon. The music has ended, but the colors and lights are fantastic. Enjoy the trip!
