It's the Lunar New Year and celebrations are taking place around the world in countries whose calendars are based on the lunar cycles. 

Happy Year of the Tiger! In celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year (February 1, 2022), Caledonia present tales of tigers.
The Tiger is the third animal in the Chinese zodiac. According to legend, Tiger was confident that no one could compete with its speed for the celestial race that would decide the order of the zodiacs. But when Tiger climbed out of the river, thinking it was first, it was informed that Rat placed first for its cunning and Ox placed second for its steady efforts. The king of the jungle had to settle for third place.

@ 7PM - KLAWDE: Evil Alien Warlord Cat

Klawde had everything. Sharp claws. Fine fur. And, being the High Commander of the planet Lyttyrboks (think about it if you need to!), an entire world of warlike cats at his command. But then he is stripped of his feline throne and sentenced to the worst possible punishment: exile to a small green-blue planet that is, as they say, “far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy”, known to its dominant bipedal race as “Earth”.

On that planet, Raj is a young man who had everything: a cool apartment in Brooklyn New York, his three best friends living in the same apartment block and comics and pizza always within easy reach. Then, courtesy of his mother taking a job on the other side of the country, he finds himself exiled to the community of Elba, Oregon.

These two lost souls, one seeking friendship (and, hopefully, pizza and comics) but forced to join a nature camp, the other a cunning, brilliant feline emperor, both exiled and seemingly lost, are destined to meet. And when they do – whether Klawde likes it or not – the emperor cat will find his plans for revenge on those who would oust him from his empire running somewhat secondary to becoming Raj’s new Best Friend as the two of them become bound by a series of new and hilarious adventures.

Festivus is the name of a secular and non-commercial holiday characterized by the raising of an aluminum pole, the serving of a dinner, the airing of grievances, and the demonstration of feats of strength. R. Dismantled presents in this spirit of the season.

THURSDAY, December 16th at 7pm: THE SEASON In Music & Poetry

 


"While to the cheerful hearth and social board

Content and ease repair, the sons of want

Receive from niggard fate their pittance scant;

And where some shed bleak covert may afford,

Wan poverty, amidst her meagre host

Casts round her haggard eyes, and shivers at the frost."

~ from "Winter" by Anne Hunter

Ktadhn Vesuvino and Caledonia Skytower team up once more to share and hour of words and music of the season: some secular, some sacred.  Join us at the Seanchai Winter Holiday Skating Pond to share this time in skating, dancing, or just listening.

Presented live on stream and in SL Voice.
