A Night of Six Winners At Cutlass

 

 

Saturday February 18 at Club Cutlass started out interesting enough. There had been a theme change to "Furries and Scalies," which suited the dragon crowd with DJ Geerkil just fine. There were the usual bad jokes and puns, along with Geerkil playing "Baby Shark" claiming it had been requested. Then eventually it was time to vote for the best in theme, with 1000L on both the male and female boards. And then the winners were announced. 

[19:55] Kylee Gracemount: Good Luck All !
[19:55] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Voting for "FURRIES and SCALIES (M)" has ended.
[19:55] Now playing: Seamus Kennedy - Old McDonald had a Deformed Farm
[19:55] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Zorro Wuramunga won L$1000!
[19:55] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Contest is over! Congrats to the following winners: Zorro Wuramunga
[19:55] Jaxs (mJaxs Resident): have no cables, but watch mostly on the enternet.
[19:56] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Skylark Lefavre won L$200!
[19:56] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: myu Zepp won L$200!
[19:56] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Kylee Gracemount won L$200!
[19:56] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: LiskaDaLantros Resident won L$200!
[19:56] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Aubrytia Resident won L$200!
[19:56] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Contest is over! Congrats to the following winners: Skylark Lefavre, myu Zepp, Kylee Gracemount, LiskaDaLantros Resident, Aubrytia Resident

The initial response was Zorro going "Thanks all" to his win and Kyle Gracemount saying, "Thank You for the Music, the Hosting, and the Venue." Then Snowy HunniBunni Lefavre (Skylark Lefavre), the club manager that night, noticed the number of winners, "Wow! Like Oh - Emm - Eff - Gee!  Lots of winners." She then thought about adding the names of the six contest winners on the bottom of the board, "I hope it fits." And thankfully they did, "Whew! It all fit!"

Nights with so many winners at Club Cutlass are rare, but they do happen. Two years ago in February 2021, there were two instances of seven winners (here) and (here).

Squirrley Interruptions

 

 

The other night at the Happy Vixen, co-hosts Ⓐиα βⓔαm 尺ⓐωr  (Analilana Buccaneer) and Frost Beam Lefavre (JD013 Resident) had a small squirrel statuette up with them, titled "I am the reason Ana and Frost had bad Internet and causing crashing." Ana would explain, "By the way, If anyone wonders why there is a rodent here. Just this evening Frost and I had the internet company out. Seems that out internet has been giving us problem because the squirrels are eating at our wires. So I invited on in here.(luffs)."

Later on after they left, they reported the squirrel had vanished, "Sadly I report. Squirrel ran way.. took him home but forgot home tag to rez. Slippery devil. Poof disappeared. oh well (laugh). Bad rodent. Didn't rez cage first is why, Oh-em-gee. night all."

Another offbeat night at the Vix.

Club Squeaks

 

By Bixyl Shuftan

 

There's a small but promising new club in the Sunweaver/Angel's community: Club Squeaks.

 

This new club came about in response to the closing of another. On Thursday July 28, Brandi Streussel announced that Clube Livewire (sometimes spelled L!vew!re) had shut down and the building taken down. The club had kept calling itself "The NEW Livewire" as it was less than a year old, having opened in Fall 2021 (probably late September), and the Cyberpunk look was done away with in Spring 2022 and a more regular look installed. In mid-July, owner Whiskey Ravenhurst (formerly Thorrin Resident) announced he was shutting down the venue as real-life demanded his full attention.

Brandi was one of the DJs at the closed club, and her response was to start a new one. It's in a small building in the middle of a globe way up in the Pacific Waters sim. The design is a somewhat simple one, with a small dance floor and DJ booth. The booth has a small mouse-shaped tip jar that squeaks when tiped and gives a cloud of cheese animation. There's a couple of rotating neon dance platforms in the air, the same kind Club Zero Gravity is noted for). There's also an overhead large hammock with cushions, in case a couple wants to hang around after the party and cuddle.

There were a few suggestions for names after Brandi announced on her Discord channel she would soon be creating her own club, such as "The Cheese Factory" and "The Mouse Trap." But Brandi named it after her DJ handle, DJ Squeaks, presumably for better recognition.

Currently Club Squeaks has events Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 to 11 AM SL time, with Brandi/DJ Squeaks as the sole DJ, for now. It is currently the only club in the Sunweaver/Angel area with morning hours.

Rare Night: Seven Winners At Cutlass

 *

Friday March 4 was the Pirate party at Club Cutlass. When the Sunweaver community was in it's early days, Club Cutlass started out as a pirate-themed club, hence the name. While it's taken many forms over the years, the name never changed.

And this night, the hearties partied, in various pirate outfits. This included a mouse buccaneer - "I be a pie rat.". 

Finally came voting time, and we were to choose the best in theme. On the Men's board, there was a tie between two guys: Zorro Wuramunga and Bixyl Shuftan (myself). But on the women's board, there was a surprise! While there are occasional three-way ties, this time it was a five-way tie! Kylee Gracemount, Mattie Carlton (Mattie Foxpaws), Liska da'Lantros (LiskaDaLantros Resident), Snowy AngelBun Lefavre (Skylark Lefavre), and Ginger (Dusk Griswold). So it was a night of seven winners!

While amazing, the night wasn't the first time a club event had so many winners. In February 2021, there was another. Still, it was a night to remember. And the following night, we found Jenni couldn't squeeze all the names on the board.

The Happy Vixen Turns Ten Years Old

 
By Bixyl Shuftan

This month, The Happy Vixen Beach Club will become ten years old. In Second Life, it's an accomplishment when a club makes it to it's first anniversary as so many close down after just a few months or even a few weeks. But the Happy Vixen has gone on year after year, enduring the highs and lows of traffic and celebrating the seasons and the accomplishments of it's staff and friends. And ten years later, it's not just still around but thriving.

In contrast to many clubs, created by ambitious personalities who think they have what it takes to make the next top club in all of Second Life, the Happy Vixen's start was more humble. In May 2010, it was decided to make Club Zero Gravity the main club of the Purrfection sim. Being a space club, it was high above the sim. About a year later, Nydia Tungsten, whom before ran the Angels Beach club in another sim before it was suddenly shut down when the region closed down, decided something for the surface was needed. In June 2011, she placed a small beachside shop, and a small beach club with a thatched roof made by Treminari Huet. Nydia didn't give it a name at first, but it soon became known as the Happy Vixen.

For months it would hold events an average of once a week, the larger "Raised Tail" beach club that was also in the sim having larger numbers. But then "Raised Tail" would shut down, never to reopen. Nydia then decided it was time to expand the Happy Vixen, builder Jasmine Dawn (Jasmine Knickers) using the design of the closed club as an inspiration, with thatched roofs and vines going down the sides. Nydia was also asked by friends of hers to make the beach next to it a nude beach. This was not for frisky behavior, but because their favorite "clothing optional" places were closing, and what was left were what were sometimes called "perv beaches," and the women wanted a place where they could enjoy full exposure without being pestered for sex. The new club was reopened in November 2011, and would start getting more attention.

At first, the club would hold only one two or three events a week in times and days not covered by the other Sunny clubs, such as on Monday. For several months at one time, it was closed to regular events. But time would change things. Cutlass would drop it's Sunday event, so the Happy Vixen filled in. Xanadu would also close and re open due to the owner's real-life, and at one point it was decided for the beach club to fill in for it until it reopened. And eventually It was decided Purfection couldn't support two clubs. Since the beach club fit the theme of the sim more, it stayed and Club Zero Gravity would close, and remain offline for a few years before reopening elsewhere. And so as it filled in when neighboring clubs closed or a talented DJ was interested in working there, the little beach club became the most active in the Sunweaver community.

Over time, the Happy Vixen would get several renovations. At one point it was taken down from Purrfection and another beach club set up in the Main Sunweaver area and called the "Happy Vixen," one with the dance area out in the open. It was best known for being the setting for a couple music videos. It would soon be moved back to Purrfection, but as a new club building that was made a little smaller, but the dance floor area also out in the open. It would get makeovers again in May and June 2016, getting a larger dance floor, a building area with a hot tub and a few games, and a small shopping "mall" area near the entrance. It would remain this way for almost three years. Then in March 2019, it got the makeover that gave it the look it has today, a larger dance floor with a side area with a movie theater and some games.

In March 2019, it would once again be modified and look much like it does today, a large open-air club with a big dance floor with a crystal center. One corner was for the dragon DJ whom played a couple events a week at the time. To the side was a hot tub with a few games placed above and nearby. Later in the year, it would be further modified to have a movie theater area with a huge selection of movies. The hot tub would be taken down, but more games would be added. There are some pictures of Nydia and her friends, and a calendar vendor. There's also a Sunbeamer kiosk there in the Relay season, and throughout the year a "Homes For Our Troops" kiosk for donations to the two charities.

Over time, there have been many, many events. The club aims for a variety of themes, seldom repeating the same one until two or three months have passed. Some of the more memorable themes have been Pony, Skunks, Sharknado, Pirates, and others. The club has seen game tournaments, Birthday parties, a number of Relay events, benefits to help neighbors in need, other charity events, memorial events, calendar auctions, taken part in club crawls, had a book publishing party, was the setting of some SL music videos, hosted a couple Luskwood tribute parties, and was the scene of some SL Newser anniversary parties. Every December, the club is the scene of the "Twisted Christmas" party. And every October in the past few years, Jasmine Dawn's made a fun Halloween build, followed by a big Halloween bash. And on a rare occasion, there may be a pie fight or some flooding.

If the club has a secret for it's longevity, it's flexibility. Nydia Tungsten runs the club along with manager Snowbuns (Skylark Lefavre), with a little help from yours truly. Our friend Helios Auxifur also helps out. The club has been fortunate enough to have some fine talent over the years, such as Tantari Kim and Jasmine Dawn. 

As for future plans, it's continuing to provide fun and music to our neighbors and friends, and some games and movies between parties. We may change the design of the place again soon, or maybe not. The point of a beach club is to relax, and so we'll continue to provide a place for some fun in the sun.

Currently, our schedule is Mondays 9-12PM, Tues 4-8PM, Thurs  8-10PM, Fri 4-6 and 8-10PM, and Sunday 5-9PM. Come on over and join in the fun.

Anime Night at Panda Jenn's Pad

 

Saturday March 27 from 6 to 8 PM SL time was the anime event at Panda Jenn's Pad. People were to dress as their favorite anime character.

 Jenn herself was there in dressed as "Lupin the Third," a master thief in anime series named for him in which he's almost always one step ahead of the police and whomever else is after him.

DJ Snowbuns, appearing in a Haru avatar (Beaststars) played the music.

There was lots of fun had by all.

The Bouncing Bunny Beach Club Gets "Waved"

Since it's appearance in November 2020, the newest of the Sunweaver clubs, the Bouncing Bunny Beach Club, has entertained people with events twice a week. 

A few people did scratch their heads when they first heard about it, "do we need another club?" But just about everyone has come to like the bunny and beach-themed BBBC, or "Beeb," as it's occasionally called. 

And the place is starting to see it's share of funnery. Sunday February 7 was when the club had it's "Horse and Pony" event. The party was intended for fans of pony avatars to "horse around," and others could use anthro equine avatars or perhaps be an anime ponygirl. Then Jasmine Dawn (OraSine Resident) showed up, in a seahorse avatar.

And before long came one of the hazards of a beach club, the tide came in.

And the floor started getting wet as waves brought water over. 

 In "My Little Pony," some of the equines have a little magic power. Could the seahorse have used a little pony magic of her own? Jasmine commented about "When a certain pain in the a** stopped in and made a royal splash. Heehee!"

"I did give fair warning I was going to wave people, at them, on them, around them ."

Eventually though, the water began to retreat.

And the seahorse decided to nap.

But it wasn't the end of the flooding as soon the "red tide" came in.

Before anyone could compare things to the "red rum" scene in "The Shinning," things began to look closer to some fruit drink commercials.

I *hope* that was lemonade.

By this time, Jasmine had changed to a noodle dragon, and was showing off some more aquatic magic. Did she end up dreaming the colored tides in her sleep, she wasn't telling.

The Bouncing Bunny Beach Club has two events a week, Sunday from 3 to 6PM SL time, and 7 to 9PM SL time.

The Night With Seven Winners At Cutlass

 
By Bixyl Shuftan

Contests at clubs occasionally have ties. For those clubs with two sets of entry boards for two winners, one for the guys and one for the girls, ties on both for one event are rare but they do happen. But an event that had seven winners, well, that would be one for the books. Such an event happened a few nights ago on Wednesday February 3 at Club Cutlass.

This particular night was a break from Cutlass tradition. Unless there's a holiday, Wednesday contests are usually "Alphabet Nights" in which the contest is to the best in something starting with the letter (or letters) of the night. But this time the theme was "Favorites." In which people were asked to show up in their favorite avatars, which in practice meant people usually showing up in their usual ones.

Time to fire up another party week. get on your favorite AV;s and outfits and come out to party as I play some of my favorite tunes. Doors open at 6 PM.

The event had the usual joking around and other conversation at Cutlass, mixed with a little talk about the upcoming Relay season. Eventually it was time to vote. And when the results were totaled ...

[19:45] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: CrystalAmber69 Resident won L$60!
[19:45] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Gil Otaared won L$60!

[19:45] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Contest is over! Congrats to the following winners: CrystalAmber69 Resident, Gil Otaared, Kylee Gracemount, LiskaBystrouska Resident, Dusk Griswold
[19:45] Gil Otaared: Ooh!  Thanks everyone!
[19:45] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Bixyl Shuftan won L$150!
[19:45] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Zorro Wuramunga won L$150!
[19:45] [KittyKode] ContestBoard shouts: Contest is over! Congrats to the following winners: Bixyl Shuftan, Zorro Wuramunga
[19:45] Crystal Sabre (CrystalAmber69 Resident): Thank you everyone !!!

Seven winners, five for the women, two for the men. Only one other contest in memory got close to this, "There has been one other 5 way I recall, but it was a holiday party."

Jenni Greenfield, the Cutlass manager, usually puts the contest winners at the bottom of the event board. Someone commented of the five-way, "That must have stretched you out like a Thanksgiving turkey." But this time, Jenni simply entered "Lots." That got a couple snickers, "I was wondering how she would get it all to fit." Later on, Jenni would get all seven winners on by shortening the names.

No telling how many others took a picture of the board that night. But I did, and here's my documentation of a night at my community's main club that will be remembered for some time to come.
