If you're not familiar with the concept of Cornflakes Week, a totally Opensim event started in 2015 and unconnected with any national, religious, or otherwise real-world-based festival, and not limited to any one grid, or particular style of celebrating, then you can read about its Corny origins here and here, and about the man who inspired the whole thing here and here.

| Waiting at the Clubhouse before Go Time |
Our first destination for our festivities was a new build, purpose made, by Nyx Breen, over on Pangea grid, HG Address as ever, at the end of the post.
Nyx called the build 'Key of C' which works on enough levels that you can spend the next half hour enjoying the poetics of the name. A vivacious paradox of complex simplicity, the size and detail and laglessness of Nyx's work is always a treat, and met the 'standard' - if there is one - of a Corny venue. None better.
Whirli Placebo agreed to sing for us which was so good on so many levels. If you don't know his music, or know it and want a wider window on his originals and covers, check out his Youtube Channel and look for him at music venues in SL and Opensim and more. You can even download yesterday's show here, if you like! Catch him in SL every Wednesday at 10 am SLT at Cafe Musique Whirli's mercurial masculinity always takes the long view of life with subtle sensitivity and chronicles its fragility and foolishness through a blend of his original songs and originally rendered covers. It was a perfect fit for this build
But we started out on OSGrid, at the Safari clubhouse, with some NPC dancers from past events.
Lavia Lavine: Are we supposed to be dressed up for this or is it optional?
whirli placebo: I hope its optional!
Thirza Ember: of course optional... though next year Lavia, we'll have you making crazy cornflakes outfits for us!
Star Ravenhurst: Hi James, Alexandron rae: thought i may be too late, whew... dusted off my old osgrid avie and knew he had a box of cornflakes so ... here I am :-) woo!

Thirza Ember: that's the good thing about an annual event, you always have some of the old stuff available
Jupiter Rowland: I've just used some old textures on some rather new clothing. Always useful to know some virtual tailors.

Star Ravenhurst: I'm a Bee, Forest... I don't know. It is a cornflake thing, and honestly I don't even know what that is. I am just here for the fun! And the Art!!!
Forest Azure: Oh Sorry... that is, i suppose a bee does not want to be regarded a wasp... but for whom they sting, I don't think it matters.
Nyx Breen: are you Bee Shaming???:)
Star Ravenhurst: No! Wasps are EVIL! They like to sting you for no reason.
Thirza Ember: Star is the Bee's knees

HG Address to see Nyx's impressive art on Pangea

Thank you, Thirza, for coming by Immersive 3. The Cornflake experience was very relaxed, and the performances and associated visual experience were a treat. Crazy wonderous, and unique in the Virtual World we usually inhabit.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute Thirza and good to catch up with old friends. Who doesn't love a little corny now and then!
