Walk Around The Grid: Jason and the Argonauts

 

By Netera Landar

On July 25, the notice said Drama Libre was featuring Jason and the Argonauts. 

 

Who doesn’t love a 3rd-century BC Greek epic poem coming to life? 

 

With Drama Libre, you’re never too sure who you’ll find on the dance floor. In this case, the beach. 

 

So, you approach with caution and watch for signs of mythical beasts surfacing from the depths of the ocean, or land creatures of magical form coming closer. For heaven’s sake, not Medusa.

Scanning the beach, I noticed an ancient Greek army, a few levitating mermaids, a hybrid griffin, a black lamb with yellow fur, a Greek warrior DJ ...

 

 

...  and a few more creatures I wasn’t sure what they were. But you don’t ask questions.

 

Iceman Merlin handled the music and greeted those teleporting onto the long boat.

 

 Everyone enjoyed the party and couldn’t wait until the next themed event.

On Saturday, Aug. 1, they had an “Interdimensional Flea Market featuring DJ Noctoon Edelweiss. This week (Saturday, Aug. 8, 7-10 p.m.) features DJ Zathras Afarensis at a Sasquatch Beauty Pageant. Not sure how you dress for that one.

The Coke Bottle At Cutlass

 

 By Bixyl Shuftan

 

 Club Cutlass has many stories behind it. There are the previous version such as "The Donut." There was when the current version was revealed a decade ago. And then there's stories about objects that might otherwise go unnoticed, such as the bottle of Coca=Cola on the table at one corner of the dance floor area. 

 

 The bottle is from CarolCream, placed there on July 20, 2018. This was no doubt inspired by the soda company's use of polar bears in it's commercials, notably in the 1990s. Carol was a Sunweaver who turned out to be an alt of Alleara Snoodle, who passed away in 2021. As Carol, she was a fun-loving character appearing either as a white bunny or "hot polar bearsey." And the bottle reflects this with a picture of an female anthro bear looking a lot like Carol, smiling and teasingly nude. 

 

 A few years ago, Shockwave Yareach approached me about the bottle. He wanted to move it, but didn't know about anyone else who had rights over Carol's objects. And "return" would mean this reminder of the beloved Sunweaver's alt would be gone for good. I didn't know anyone else who did either. Since it couldn't be moved, it was left as it was.

 

With the owner of most of the Sunweaver lands, Rita Mariner, having recently passed away, it's very likely the club will have to be moved. Cynthia and Shockwave can move just about everything at the club

But since Carol's Coca-Cola bottle cannot be moved, if the sim vanishes, it will too. 

 

A reminder of a past dear friend that will likely soon be gone.
