SL Burned Down Cafe

We played here last week, and loved it! Doc Shackleton is the owner and works at the RL Burned Out Cafe. We had a great time there and felt right at home in the hobo atmosphere :) See the pics below and go there: http://slurl.com/secondlife/MOON%20DAZE/197/197/27

Some history from their notecard:

Welcome to the SL Burned Down Cafe.  Based on a real life outdoor cafe on Madeline Island in Lake Superior in northwestern Wisconsin (USA), the SL version is a close approximation!

Open only in the summertime, the Burned Down Cafe is a local “hot spot” for fun in La Pointe, the only town on the island.   Year round island residents number about 3,500 in the summertime, but the population drops to less than 200 when the thermometer drops to below zero temperatures in January and February.

Pictures from recent gigs

Here’s some recent pics, I’m woefully behind on posting from recent gigs! We’ve been busy playing at Inga’s store, doing a weekly gig at the Gaslight (thanks to theDove Rhode, who is a real sweetie!), and we had a great time at the Green Lantern Bayou party this weekend…the GL know how to have fun, check out the great swamp build they put together.

We also recently played at a very hobo-worthy club called the Burned Down Cafe, which actually approximates a crazy RL build on a lake in Wisconsin. Awesome, awesome place! Run by a really great guy named doctor Shackleton, who also runs the RL club. We’re hoping to play there more, and I’ll go take some pics of it soon just to post here because the build is so cool :)

We played 4 gigs and 5 hours this weekend. It made me hungry!

Hoboween 2009, Ladonna’s Club pics

Hoboween!

Hoboween!

Wow a great weekend. Hoboween on Hobo Island Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a three day party that went off very well and was lots of fun, thanks to a great build from Aitolda Cooljoke and much organization from Bonehead Goalpost the hobo queen and her assorted hobo minions. There were lots of great musicians including Groucho and Blindboink, and Lauren did a show too (in an exquisite skull dress). Check out our Flickr page widget below for pics and I’m going to stick some slideshows here. We played Saturday night. There were about 50 hobos in the sim at the height of things and it was a great crowd. We had a blast. We even got to judge the costume contest! Blindboink closed out the night…I think he was a bit taken aback by the crowd of crazies, but he’s crazy himself so he got into it and did great.

Sunday we played at fellow hobo Ladonna’s club…ClubStudio 3, I think I have that name right. A cool little place in I believe a Dutch? sim? Ladonna is always great to play for, so sweet and makes everyone feel at home. Nice little club, I hope she’ll have us back!

Thanks to Nolan Finney, Inga Wind and Riddleray Rembrandt for the pics :)
