Moon Stew Café Revolutionary Cook Book

Moon Stew Cafe, Moon Stew Cafe Revolutionary Cook Book, North Keswick Press

Early this summer, The Moon Stew Cafe Revolutionary Cook Book was published in Second Life. “Comforting Foods for Discomforting Times”, the 10 recipes include Sun Ra’s Original Moon Stew, which was a major part of the inspiration for the Café in Patagonia.

The plant-based recipes are healthy, and fairly easy and economical to prepare, and best of all, they were contributed by fellow food-loving avatars Elle Thorkveld, Haveit Neox, Marie Beedit, Veyot and Zoe Foodiboo.

You can pick up a copy for yourself for 0L at Moon Stew Café in Patagonia. There is also a reading copy on the bar near the large giraffe.

The cookbook was set and printed at Cricket’s Comfort and the North Keswick Press in Jiminy. “Visitors are welcome here at Cricket’s comfort where The North Keswick Press is established, producing a range of books, posters and prints.”

The press was originally located in North Keswick in the former Coniston area.

You can also pick up a free copy at this location.

I took the photos for the cookbook, shot in various Last Drop Café locations, Wanderlust Café, Weeds Vegetarian Public House in New Toulouse, Moon Stew Café, and some of the wonderful food and dining scenes at ACC Alpha.

The project was fun, and we persisted through the ink shortages, paper shortages, and waiting on delivery delays due to driver shortages, and new drivers on new routes.

“Keep creating!”

There are reading copies displayed at various locations. The one above is in the reading room at Shipton Rest Area.

I missed Caly Applewhyte’s exhibit Barok when it was at DixMix Gallery December 5 – January 15, so I enjoyed finding the art displayed upstairs in her space at Artist Village, Campbell Coast. 

The richness and old painting effects are apparent when viewed inworld.

Calypso Applewhyte is a SL photographer who joined this virtual world in 2010.

The upper floor can be accessed by clicking on the exhibit poster and teleporting.

The ground floor displays other pieces with avatar subjects.

Coinciding with the real world Epcot International Festival of the Arts at the Walt Disney World Resort, the virtual Festival of the Arts at WEDCOT Center Park, Real Dreams, in Second Life is being held through Sunday, February 21.

The kiosks of art by Second Life avatars are situated along streets of “permanent” builds, festival activities, and booths. The artwork shown above is one of many photo opportunities. Avatars can insert themselves into the pieces, snap a photo, and also share them if they wish.

The kiosks are placed on a wandering path which circles back to the beginning of wherever one started. I’ll provided a few landmarks; the above photo showing paintings by Masako.

These are just a few of the avatars exhibiting.

This is the second year I’ve participated, and I’ve found it to be a pleasant experience that fits easily into whatever else I have going on. Trevor Sleydon does excellent work with the event and the park. My kiosk is here.

WEDCOT Center Park is open year round and the weather is always perfect.

Walsh County in November

Walsh County

I revisited Walsh County, a homestead sim, this evening. It’s snowing, windy, and there’s a weather warning posted. There are accumulations of snow in some spots, different weather than when I snapped these photos last week.

There were pheasants near the landing.

The region is inspired by Walsh County, North Dakota. There’s a 30 minute autoreturn. On my first visit there were some friendly, rowdy young adult avatars buzzing around, such as one might find in a similar real life landscape

Now, there’s a layer of thin ice on the water by the big tree. The silly animations for flapping around like a duck are still available, and the geese are still not impressed.

Elle's Art Lot, Myra Wildmist, virtual photography, Virtually Feminine

Virtually Feminine is the name of the photography exhibit showing currently at Elle’s ArtLot in Rivulet. New photos by Myra Wildmist are on display, as well as a few retrospective pieces by her from Elle Thorkveld’s collection.

I really enjoy seeing art in outdoor settings, which is something that can be easily implemented in a virtual world. There is much to see on the rest of the grounds at ArtLot, with teleporters to more areas in the sky, after viewing Virtually Feminine. 

Elle curated the exhibit, selecting some photos from Myra’s Flickr.

Myra Wildmist has exhibited her work in many virtual locations. She has generously shared what’s she learned, including in Kultivate Magazine, and on her own blog.

I enjoyed decorating inside the gallery, and watching the process of the exhibit unfold. One of Myra’s earlier photos, from about four or so years ago, Q is for quiescent mind, is displayed indoors, shown on the right in the photo above.

Pixel Crescendo, a friend and virtual photographer, was commissioned to help document the exhibit. All the photos in this post are his work.

You are invited to view Virtually Feminine by Myra Wildmist at Elle’s ArtLot.
