Back To The Laundromat

Marty McFly: Calvin? Wh… Why do you keep calling me Calvin?
Lorraine Baines: Well, that is your name, isn’t it? Calvin Klein? It’s written all over your underwear.

Get your hoverboard out, polish up that flux capacitator, we’ve got our tuned DeLorean ready for you. On September 17th we’ll be heading for a night of bad hairdo’s and awesome tunes. Line-up and exact slurl will follow very very soon.

BACK – with a vengeance

And yes, we said September would start with a bang and we will. After summer holidays, stressful situations, ferrying kids around and annoying weather we FINALLY can get back to normality. Aren’t you thankful that summer bursts into autumn? The Laundromat will be scheduling regularly and we’ll have two september events coming up, working titles are *LATEX* (do i need to explain) and *BACK TO THE FUTURE* Line-up, details and artwork can be found here soon….

Camping Vuvuzela is Open

Spend some time at your home away from home… Inspired by the most awful footie camping sites of Europe, the plot next to the Laundromat is now a haven for ants, soccer lovers and beerdrinkers. Oh and in case you don’t know what the dutch cultural dance, the Polonaise, is… Here, we are inspired by Plum to hobble around demented to the sound of Fela Kuti.

Just in case you don’t know what a vuvuzela is?

Applecross @ Hogwart Prevails

Yes, Colleen Lilliehook is up to something again, this time she’s organising Applecross at Harry Potter’s own… For those who aren’t regularly rp’ing at Hogwarts – this is your chance to see a pretty neat sim without having to rp and some great dj’s to boot.   On Monday, June 14, the line up will be DJs Olivia Button, Draco and Theodore Nacht, and Windsor Lorefield and we expect you all in your school uniform. More info you can find on the  Applecross blog… let me leave you with a quote by  Harry about the Laundromat…

I say there are spots that don’t come off… Spots that never come off, d’you know what I mean. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Laundromat Summer – take the caravan and run

We’re taking it easy for a bit – after the very fancy prom, we’ve got a summer of low-key sets and bigger events by other organisers coming up (more later about that). But after july & august, we’ll gear up with new plans and initiatives to make the Laundromat as eclectic and buzzing as usual. Until then, don’t let SL take you away from your garden chair or, if you’re dutch, your caravan…. to get into a summer mode, here’s The Ventures with some lovely surfing stuff, and it’s Caravan unless i’m mistaken?

Vice sim opening & Fightclub’s moving

After frenzied work by Charlotte Bartlett, the Vice sim, which is the official sim for  VICE MAGAZINE in SL & viceland.com, and will  opening on Thursday . The sim is aimed to deliver an impressive setting for indie music, fashion and DJ’ing and will be also the new home of the Fightclub, which will be operated as before on friday nights and for special events. Of course I’m personally pretty chuffed and happy that the Fightclub got invited to be operated from there and am thankful to Charlotte and Kas for including the Fightclub in their plans.

The builds are amazing and it would be great if we see all of you there for both the fightclub opening as well as the sim opening. Let’s do a short tour of what’s planned first:

Fight Club will be kicking off the VIce sime at 3pm SLT and the following DJ’s will be there to kick the shit out of you orally:

* 3PM – 4PM frostie melody vs ayako guerrero

* 4PM – 5PM evah gothly vs mzdeedee dagger

* 5PM – 6PM larkin galaxy vs enigma bombay

Below are Kasabian’s outlines of the rest of the evening:

At 6pm SLT, Niko Lyle plays an hour of songs at Megg Demina’s HEROES OF FASHION show, not without its own controversy ( STOP REPLICATING)..which has found a permanenjt home at Viceland.

7pm -8pm  Rance Alva Plays the Maunsell, Bofor Pirate DJ tower – the starting point for Vice in SL . The Maunsell towers were used in the 60’s as priate dj towers, to overcom britains extreme restrictions on how much rock and roll music could be played on the radio during the day. These towers were the inspirationg for the Sim and the landing point for everyone TPing in. They represented the idea that people were willing to die and risk their lives simply to play music for free. I personally cant think of a better dj to play Maunsell than him.

At 8pm-9pm,, lil miss makes us all sick with awesomeness, Eeka Batz hits the decks, and we move to the mainland of Vice, playing THE THIN MAN, A small but unique space named after and decored after Fritz Lang’s silent retro furturistic epic film, “Metropolis”.

at 9pm-10pm, Colleen Lilliehook opens her new Applecross headquarters at Viceland, as well as Vice square, and The Antigone Theatre, Second Life’s new premiere theatre environment. Applecross represents bringing attention to the very best builds and designs in Second Life with dance and interactive events.

At 10pm. we move back to familiar ground with Clark Bowenfeld, who gets to break in something old, something new by playing MIXTAPE, which is like that great old dresser you have moved from new house to new  house but always has that great grandma smell (COUGHS)  and you keep around.

In other words, be there, we’re expecting you all night long….

Special Spincycle – do you remember your first time?

House DJ’s Henrietta and Plum will plan a night with the first ever songs that had you bopping as a kid and the first record you bought. Let us know, just drop a notecard, an IM or leave a comment below. We want to hear that…. (and sorry, Killer Queen still makes me happy)…
