Events

Live music, art, and community events in Second Life are shaped by presence — and then memory.

Events in Second Life happen in real time, and that’s what makes them special.

Live music performed in the moment. Gallery openings shared with everyone who chose to be there. Festivals that bring communities together for days or weeks before living on through photographs, stories, and memory.

This page highlights current events, recurring celebrations, and creative communities connected to Through Owl’s Eye. Whether you’re looking for live music, an exhibition opening, or your next adventure, I hope you’ll join us.

Upcoming Events

Events featured here include live music, gallery openings, festivals, artist talks, and community gatherings from places I regularly visit and communities I help support, along with selected events from across the Second Life grid.

I don’t try to list every event happening in Second Life. Instead, I focus on gatherings that reflect the creative communities and cultural life this magazine documents.

Because Second Life is a living world, schedules sometimes change, and new events are added throughout the month. If you want to stay close to what’s happening, the best way is to be there.

About Past Events

Events end.

Festivals conclude. Exhibits come down. Performances happen once, and then they pass into memory.

What remains are photographs, writing, and the particular feeling of having been there.

Documentation of past events lives throughout this site. Especially within Art & Music and Community, where they become part of Second Life’s ongoing cultural record.

Nothing is really lost. It just changes form.

Hippiestock Events

Hippiestock is an annual month-long celebration of music, art, community, and creative freedom in Second Life.

When the festival is active, this page reflects current schedules and related events. When it rests, posts remain available as documentation of that year’s gathering.

Hippiestock is one of the communities closest to my heart. Every January it returns with live music, creativity, friendship, and just enough joyful chaos to remind me why I fell in love with Second Life in the first place.

See You There

Second Life has always been about showing up.

If our paths cross at a gallery opening, a concert, a festival, or somewhere along the roads of Corsica, I hope you’ll stop and say hello.

Some of the best Second Life friendships begin that way.
