You’re the one we want! Engage with United Federation Starfleet this August when UFS Communications presents ‘summer fun’ a la the ‘Beach Boys’ and ‘Grease’ the musical! Slick back your hair and join us as we time travel back to back to high school in the Terran 1950s! SunFEST features terrific DJs, talented live performers, and a Coney Island style fair, all at UFS’s base in Second Life, Pinastri Headquarters.
Starting off the FEST will be Dj Naida Starchild and Host Evey Riley with their ‘Grease’ themed ‘Cosmic Rift’ set on Friday night starting at 7pm SLT/PDT, at Club Latinum. Dress is casually 50s! Naida spins great music that transcends you, helping you transport to another place and time. Hopelessly devoted to summer nights!
Starting at noon Saturday and running to 4pm SLT/PDT will be the colorful ‘Coney Island’ style fair, provided by Greg Esharham. Expect rides, games and boats on the beach, all while the great entertainment line-up streams music for your enjoyment. Maybe some greased lightnin’ down the Pinastri river in a slick sailboat?
LIVE ‘On the Beach’ Saturday August 12th, noon SLT/PDT, will be the fabulous ‘Trav McCullough.’ Trav has been performing in SL since 2008. He has a warm style that welcomes you into his music whether it be country, pop, folk or classical. He loves to sing your requests and dedications, and has an extensive songlist.
