TUESDAY December 5th at 7pm: THE ICE DRAGON @ Poe Castle

  

"Winter Is Coming"

THE ICE DRAGON

In George R.R. Martin's world of A Song of Ice and Fire the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember.

Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter child—and the ice dragon who loved her—could save her world from utter destruction.

THURSDAY November 23rd at 10am: ALICES RESTAURANT MASSACREE

    

ALICE'S RESTAURANT MASSACREE

The song is one of Arlo Guthrie's most prominent works, based on a true incident from his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965 with a citation for littering, and ended with the refusal of the U.S. Army to draft him because of his conviction for that crime. The ironic punch line of the story is that, in the words of Guthrie, "I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough to join the Army - burn women, kids, houses and villages - after bein' a litterbug." The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the draft, and to end war.

The "song" is in fact a spoken monologue, presented by Shandon Loring today for your listening pleasure or just to groan at and be Thankful when it's over.

- Whenever I'm Away From You -

TUESDAY, October 10th @ 7pm slt: "The Halloween Tree" Begins

THE HALLOWEEN TREE by Ray Bradbury 

"And it was the afternoon of Halloween.

And all the houses shut against a cool wind.

And the town full of cold sunlight.

But suddenly, the day was gone.

Night came out from under each tree and spread."

Bradbury's "The Halloween Tree" (1950) follows the path of eight boys on an adventure to save the life of their friend on Halloween Night. Guided by the mysterious Mr. Moundshroud, they travel through time and space, learning about different cultures, and how each views and deals with death. 

** Tuesdays at 7pm slt - October 10, 17, and 24 with Shandon Loring, Faerie Maven-Pralou, and Kayden Oconnell.

** Sundays at 1:30pm slt - October 15, 22, and 29 with David Abbot, Gloriana Maertens, and Caledonia Skytower.

SUNDAY, October 8th @ 1:30pm slt: "Something Bradbury . . . "

 

The Bradbury Project is open, and it is time for the first story.

Join Caledonia as she presents a chilling tale from Bradbury's collection "Dandelion Wine."  Lavinia Nebbs is determined that not even the discovery of a murder, and the knowledge that the killer (a serial killer, as it happens) is still on the loose will upset or inconvenience her in any way.

None the less, "The Lonely One" is still abroad and might just be a little too close for safety - even for Lavinia Nebbs.

Caledonia Skytower presents, live on stream, on the Town Level of The Bradbury Project.

THE BRADBURY PROJECT is Open! Now through November 16th

The newest Seanchai special project celebrates the work of American author Ray Bradbury. It follows the path of eight boys on an adventure to save the life of their friend on Halloween Night. Guided by the mysterious Mr. Moundshroud, they travel through time and space, learning about different cultures, and how each views and deals with death.

https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nowhereville/204/43/26

Events and activities at The Bradbury Project include:

•      "Where's Mr. Lurky?" (Find him - he's everywhere!)

• Thursday, October 26th from 9-11pm slt - DJ Tiger Pawz
• Monday, October 30th from 9-11pm slt - DJ JAdmiral Maelstrom

This project is built in two skyboxes that follow the path of the first third of the story "The Halloween Tree"

LEVEL 1: It begins in a neighborhood on the edge of Green Town, a fictional Midwest American town that is the scene for a great number of Ray Bradbury's works, including "Something Wicked This Way Comes," the collection "Dandelion Wine", and "The Halloween Tree."

LEVEL 2: Moundshroud's House - The Halloween Tree. The path picks up in the center of the ravine, approaching the home of Mr Moundshroud, with The Halloween Tree on the grounds, and a path to the Kite Barn, where the first third of the story concludes. Reference to places that the boys and Mr Moundshroud visit in their succeeding adventure are represented within Moundshroud's House in this Project.

The Bradbury Project uses the “Caledonian Studios” and “Quantum Products” experiences. Accept these to navigate and see the project as designed. We recommend that you set your draw distances to 125, and use shared environment.

As a fallback, you could set your viewer EEP to A-6PM or any other dusk-like EEP.  It will not look as good as the EEP the build was created for, but it will suffice.

The Bradbury Project will remain open through November 16th.

OPENING OCTOBER 6th: The Bradbury Project *NEW* from Seanchai Library

 
Seanchai Library is proud to announce the newest edition to its Special Projects Series. These literature-immersive experiences allow guests to walk in the footsteps of the characters that inhabit the world of a work of fiction: exploring environments inspired by the words of the story, and hearing those words presented live. The best known of these is the popular holiday tradition The Dickens Project. Inspired, in part, by Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella A Christmas Carol this project will return to Second Life ® for its 2023 Edition in December. The newest project is focused on the work of American author and screenwriter, Ray Bradbury, and features his short story “The Halloween Tree.” The Bradbury Project will open on October 6^th and remain open through November 16^th.

NOTE: This project features an experience-based teleport system introduced at The Dickens Project in 2022. Please accept the “Caledonian Studios” Experience when it is offered to you at the first teleportal outside of Seanchai Library’s main branch on Nowhereville. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nowhereville/204/43/26

"We are really excited about this one. It taps into an enthusiasm for Halloween that many of our regular community shares. The story addresses how we think about and deal with death in a way that is healthy, I believe," said Caledonia Skytower of Seanchai Library. "We get as immersed in creating our projects as we hope our guests do in experiencing them. But there is something special about this one. There is so much farther we could take it, and that is inspiring."  The Bradbury Project is patterned after the popular Dickens Project and follows the path of eight boys on an adventure to save the life of their friend on Halloween Night.

Thursday Sept. 28th at 7-8:15pm: IN THE PINES

 

- WHERE THE SUN NEVER SHINES -

IN THE PINES
by Karl Edward Wagner

Pre-figuring the "THE SHINING" this Appalachian ghost/horror story is a stark portrayal of a grieving emotionally-fractured couple facing something horrific in the midst of a desolate pine forest.

Ghost story buffs will note striking similarities to the Shining that was published 3 years later.
