Two great events that we are proud to be a part of!

The Dirty Grind/The Rebakery @ Hair Fair!

Lisa and I share a love for the the story of Alice Liddel, a story of imagination and wonder wrapped around a child's decent into madness. 9 months ago she created the amazing Out of the Looking Glass/Into the Madness installation to honor the 150th anniversary of that story.

As a budding creator in SL (though she will claim that she does not create) when Hair Fair came along she chose to extend that theme into her submission for the event.

A note from Lisa:

I wanted to style this piece honouring Alice, the embodiment of children's dreams and fears to help support giving other children a joy during such a scary time in their lives. You may

 wish to visit  Out of the Looking Glass|Into the Madness installation floating above our sim (and check back next week, after I make a few additions! XD)!

Be sure to visit the bandana booth at Hair Fair and buy your copy of our Out of the Looking Glass Bandana! It's only 50L and all proceeds go to Wigs for Kids!

When you land, they are located in the house to the left (check out the image below).

Radio Grind Presents/ The Rebakery @ VS&HC Curbed event

I am particulary excited about this event because it features one of Lisa's real life creations!

Our sister venue, Hotel Chelsea, and Virtual Soho,  the home of our very first Radio Grind Presents satellite, are hosting the Curbed event. Many of their amazing artists are taking part in this event in a set of unique and original mesh furniture featuring a piece of their art.

This event runs for July 28th -Aug 5th. You can find them all here:

though be sure to stop by our Radio Grind Presents location to get a copy of Lisa's submission. I may not be the most impartial critic, but I think it's the best of the bunch. Plus, it's a great price! 25L for the sofa and 50L for the entire set! They're transfer, so stuck up for Christmas!

4pm Gweeb

Peed panties aren't unheard of at his gigs, and not much is taken seriously, aside from the delicious, rich sound of one boy and his guitar. Gweeb delivers an incredible show with each of his performances. 

5pm The Matthew Show

Whether it's a song about drinking and driving in Heaven , or an unconventional love song; Matthew sings about basically whatever he feels like singing about.    His shows are funny , entertaining , unpredictable and a guaranteed good time.

6pm Effinjay

Frogg was a vocal jazz minor at college, while Jay studied piano for 14 years, and together as singer/songwriters they have produced a comprehensive range of heartfelt and memorable melodies and poetically lyrical songs.

7pm Lyndon Heart

Lyndon Heart appears on SL's premiere stages and brings his eclectic repertoire of acoustic rock, folk, funk, and blues to an avid flock of digital fans. With a playlist that encompasses originals, popular covers, and lesser-known gems, Lyndon's shows are sure to include lots of your musical heart-shaped favorites!

Rubber Duckie Day @ The Dirty Grind Independent Artist Community

Join us at The Dirty Grind Independent Artist Community for four hours of 100% live music from our family of artists! During your auditory feast, be sure to enjoy the new art our current artist, Solana Python, has shared with us during her round in the Featured Visual Artist Series.
