Second Life, Wanderlust Bench Art Park

The autumn season exhibit at Bench Art Park and Wanderlust Cafe and Art Park Expansion holds 2D and 3D art, writing, and posters for events and destinations.

The previous box/collection of destinations from May 2017, had 6 of an original 18 landmarks remaining current, which is good in SL. A new, updated box of posters is available, with a folder of the posters/landmarks in a free box, or individual posters from the wall.

Myra Wildmist contributed a photo using projectors.

Digital art by Amy Inawe and Klaus. A timely essay is on a notecard in the piece by Klaus.

Moon Stew Cafe, Patagonia ~ October and November

Dr John, Heterocera, Moon Stew Cafe, Patagonia

Moon Stew Cafe in Patagonia is open and welcoming all the times. For October and November, the establishment is decorated for the season.

“Welcome to Moon Stew Cafe, where we are celebrating the music of Dr. John (1941-2019) through October and November.

Also known as Mac Rebennack, Dr. John was a well-loved, sometime controversial, larger-than-life practitioner of all things New Orleans and, in particular, his gumbo of syncopated piano shuffles.”

“Not unlike Sun Ra, the patron saint of Moon Stew Cafe, Dr. John lived by his own rules and was partial to a flamboyant outfit. When he died in June this year, USA Today described him as ‘a living symbol of New Orleans and its vast musical heritage.’ ”

“There are things to do, so please feel free to immerse.

– The Doctor is on the parcel stream; you might need to toggle it to get it going.

– The two media panels are showing live footage of Dr. John in concert. You’ll need media turned on and then click the panel (sometimes twice) to load the videos.

– Play Boogie Woogie on the piano! If you sit at the piano and click on the decorated panel in front of you, you’ll be amazed at your boogie-woogie powers. Click it again to stop the music.”

“- Get a prescription from the Doctor. Touch the crystal ball on the bar and check local chat to hear from the man in his own words.

– Watch out for alligators!”

“The staff at Moon Stew hope you enjoy the music and feel a little closer to him here.” ~ Klaus

 

 

 

 

The Love Shack and Voodoo Bar, Bayou Chat Noir

Bayou Chat Noir, Blues Bar, The Love Shack and Voodoo Bar

The Love Shack and Voodoo Bar is a hangout in a virtual south Louisiana bayou in Bayou Chat Noir. There’s blues on the stream, and a collection of voodoo dolls on the wall. Since most of these photos were taken over a month ago, a few skeletons have been recently added along with an animesh zombie man singer.

The establishment is owned and managed by Kitty (Vinje) who previously had Kitty Love’s Shack in Bayou St John, which I blogged about over three years ago.

The details are very well curated.

There’s booth seating for dining, a bar, and ample room for dancing. There’s also seating outside near the water.

A very atmospheric place to enjoy your time virtually.

Thanks to Klaus for some of the photos used.
