Scenes From The FCA "Christmas in July" Club Crawl

 

Saturday July 24 2021 was the day of the Furry Club Alliance (FCA) summertime club crawl. The FCA is made up of several clubs, numbering six at the time of this article, which support one another a little through some cross-promotion and in the case of the Sunweaver clubs that make up most of the members to prevent (or at least cut down on) schedule conflicts as they have much the same audience. 

The theme was "Christmas in July," which was felt would be a "cool" theme in these warm times. Things started out at Club Zero Gravity at Noon SL time. And the club had been colored a bit for the occasion with much red and green. The space-themed club is high above the Sunweaver Space sim at (129, 249, 3597).

The people who came in had all sorts of Christmasy looks.

DJ Lexi played the tunes for the two hour's of Zero-G's part of the event.

The contest was won by LiskaBystrouska Resident and, Dusk Griswold. 

At 2PM, the crowd went over to the newest club in the Sunweaver community, the Bouncing Bunny Beach Club.

The club came about in November last year, and has done far better than the hangout that came to an end shortly before it's construction. It's in the SunWaterThree sim at (75/56/25).

Tonight we are looking for your best Christmas avatars ,outfits ,and/or wearable pets !

Hop on over to our beautiful bunny beach club for this great event.

Come listen to the sweet sounds of DJ Snow Buns as we rock out for two hours at our wonderful beach club.

 "Only 154 days until Christmas !"

DJ Snowbuns played the music for the event in her reindeer avie.

At one point, Snowy had a mistletoe just over her tail. Which reminded me of the "enchanted mistletoe" in one online comic. 

The contest was won by Ginger (Dusk Griswold) and Jenni Greenfield.

 At 4PM, it was the Happy Vixen's turn for the club crawl. Outside of the main group of Sunweaver sims, the beach club is located in Purrfection Estates at (236, 219, 24). It recently celebrated it's tenth anniversary. 

Hey folks! It's time for the Happy Vixen's event in the Club Crawl. On this hot day, many of us are wishing for winter. So our theme for the Crawl is Christmas in July. Come in Christmasy colors of red & white and green, Santa hats, reindeer, elves, or anything else Christmasy you can think of. Our Christmas kitsune DJ Mattie spins the tunes.

"What does Santa do in his garden? Hoe hoe hoe!"

DJ Mattie, the star DJ of the Sunbeamer RFL team this Relay season, played the music for the two hours for this part of the event with a number of classic Christmas tunes and a few funny ones such as "Leroy the Redneck Reindeer."

I only took a few pictures of the event, so  the camera didn't pick up the crowd that would come over before, during and after halftime. The winner of the contest was Dusk Griswold. 

At 6PM was Club Cutlass. Unlike most of the other clubs in the crawl, it regularly had events on this day of the week and time. The airship club is located high over Sunweaver Bay at (114/117/757).

It may be hot outside, but we're celebrating the yuletide tonight at Cutlass. get in to your Christmas outfits and come out to party with DJ Geerkil and his crew. Doors open at 6 PM.

DJ Geerkil (who goes by a few nicknames such as "Sausage") played the music for the event. Some of his tunes were a bit on the twisted side for this Xmas-themed party. The club itself was decorated a bit, such as putting reindeer antlers on the pirate bunny logo on the dance floor.

Besides the dragon DJ, there were a few other large avatars. This guy "bear"ly fit through the door.

While usually 250L is up on each of the two contest boards, for this party it was 1500L each. Kylee Gracemount and AndrewFoxianArctic were the winners.

At 8PM, it was the turn of the Sunweaver's classic rock club, Xanadu. Like Cutlass, it also usually plays at this day of the week and time. It's high above the HV Community sim at (67/207/4051).

 Saturday July 24, 2021  Tonite, 8PM :Hey folks! It's Club Xanadu's event in the Club Crawl. On this hot day, many of us are wishing for winter. So our theme for the Crawl is Christmas in July. Come in Christmasy colors of red & white and green, Santa hats, reindeer, elves, or anything else Christmasy you can think of. Our Christmas reindeer DJ SnowBuns spins the tunes.

DJ Jesse was supposed to be the one making music for Xanadu. But her Internet was out. So DJ Snowbuns, still in her reindeer avatar, filled in.

The contest ended in a tie between Nikkita Sugar Lefavre (Aubrytia Resident) and DeniseUnicorn Toonie.

Finally at 10PM was the last event at the crawl, at Club Balance. The one club outside the Sunweaver community, its located at Liwei (113/23/53).

The club had an event going earlier, which had more people, but a number went to bed after it ended. So DJ Maliit played the tunes for a small but happy crowd. There was no contest, but the folks were happy just the same.

And so that was the FCA's summer 2021 club crawl. There will likely be another around Halloween, or perhaps Christmastime.

Scenes From The FCA (Creepy) Club Crawl

By Bixyl Shuftan

On Friday October 26, four clubs took part in one event that lasted over ten hours: the FCA First Annual Furry Halloween Club Crawl. To begin with, for a while not much went on with the Furry Club Alliance as an organization. Club Zero Gravity and Happy Vixen were both under White Vixen Enterprises and talked with each other on how to avoid schedule conflicts while Club Cutlass always had it's events on the same days and times. Then Urban Furry joined, the first club outside the Sunweaver/Angels community for quite some time. The four clubs talked about an event for cross promotion. Then came the idea of a club crawl. For those who don't know, a bar crawl is when a group of people go to a number of bars in a day or evening, spending a small amount of time in each. Since Linden Lab was having some luck with it's "Creepy Crawl" events every Halloween, why not one of our own? It was decided that it would be on the last Friday before Halloween.

TODAY'S THE DAY!
Come one, come all to the FCA's first Annual
Furry Halloween Club Crawl

Here is the route. All times are SLT.
12 - 2pm Club Zero Gravity

Friday October 26 came, and at 12 Noon SL time, people headed over to space station Club Zero Gravity. The "party among the stars" would be the first stop at Sunweaver Space (129, 249, 3597), with DJ JB spinning the tunes.

The "creepy crawl" took on new meaning when took girls took on drider avatars (were-spider), and one unleashed her "minions" in the form of dozens of regular sized spiders. Some reacted by backing away. Others talked about "pest control on eight legs" or how the space station's garden could use them.

We are Halfway Through and in a Half hour The Creepy Crawlers shall come and crawl all over us, Surround us hehe. But I am creepy so I shall be just fine, I have wings^^ Anyway JB Has much more Blues and Halloween Mix of all kinds to come. Contest... " Alll  Things Spooky" just dress up for such if you wish. 

The 1600 Linden dollar prize for the event was split between Hawke213x Resident and Biohazard707 Resident.

At 2PM, the crowd headed to the Happy Vixen's Haunted Manor at Purrfection Estates (126/175/2004), which was a special build for the month described more (here). DJ Applebloom, aks DJ Hakrua, played the music.

The WVE Club Crawl continues with DJ Hakrua as she plays her set only at The Haunted Mansion. Who knows maybe she will throw in some fun Halloween tunes at us. Come party with us 2 - 4  pm SLT. Celebrate Halloween with us today  with the theme Creepy Vs Cute. The spirits are waiting.

The 2000L prize was split between Dusk Griswold and Rain0dash1.

4PM came, and the party moved to Urban Furry's haunted area. The landmark given to Mystic Timberland (164/239/2701) didn't lead directly to the club, but the start of a haunted trail with a few scares. Once inside, we got music from DJ Soundshifter.

It was quite a "monster mash."

At 6PM, the party moved to the Club Cutlass airship at Sunweaver Bay (114/117/757). And the place had been decked out with decorations and mist.

Leg 4 of the Club crawl! $1000 L's to start!
It's the first of 2 Halloween events at Cutlass. Tonights event is part of the Halloween Club Crawl. Get on your Halloween costumes and come party with our scary DJ Crim. The haunting begins at 6 PM.

 DJ Crim, who often DJs for Cutlass on Fridays, played the music for the two hours.

So for two hours, the party went on, the crowd cracking Halloween jokes and puns.

Club Manager Jenni Greenfield won the contest for the ladies. The winner for the guys was a certain fox who went "bats" for the holiday.

And at 8PM, the party moved on to it's final stop, back to Club Zero Gravity. DJ Lexi spun her musical spells for those on the dance floor and lounge area.

 Welcome one and all to the last stop for our First Annual Halloween Club Crawl where ghost ghouls and goblins run amok, Souls of all ages embarking through the journey of sounds now find the, Final, Destination, on tonight's tantalizing tour of terror. 

The lovely sounds of our DJ Sexi Lexi, the Sexy Nezumi dj as she shares her love of lore and lyrics matched with sounds and sin.   Celebrate Halloween of past, present and future.  Nightmare Scare for the theme.   Come, enjoy with us if you dare. and the finally amount for the Crawl is $5000 L's

And what avatar would be really scary in a party of mostly furry avatars?

Mia Launay won the prize for this part of the event: 5000 Linden dollars.

 Club Zero Gravity manager Ranchan told everyone, "Thank you all for coming out,  thank you to our DJ's  Thank you to Our Hosts, and most Important, thank you to , you, our friends, family and new faces as well as old that came out tonight during this First Annual Halloween Club crawl."

And so, the FCA Creepy Club Crawl was over. But it wasn't the end of Halloween events. Goblin Bay would have it's Halloween party the following night, plus at least three of the four clubs will have parties on Halloween. And of course there's Ziola Linden's Creepy Crawl at 10 AM.
