Parties in the Phoenix Station Bar

The GFC's gorgeous looking Phoenix Station Bar saw plenty of action this Saturdays as two events were held over the day.

First between 12am to around 2:30pm the AAC (academy air corp has a party).

AAC Dance

Diabetes event in action

Later in the evening starting a 6pm and finishing at 9pm the place was rocketed to it cores as an event to bring some awareness to Diabetes was held by Social Events division.

We were glad to see those who come along and bothered to show up for such a good cause, especially those from other trek and sci-fi groups who came to celebrate a common cause and to dance the night away, you compassion and generosity were all appreciated.

This was a celebration for paying off a $25 million Diabetes Research Facility and this year invested over $900,000 in research, every little helps.

More fun from the Diabetes event

The dance was linked with a RL event which was happening simultaneously in the US at Sandpoint Eagles Club #589 Sandpoint Idaho in association with the diabetes charity JDRF.

Bar motorised ride

When you were a kid did you remember those children rides your parents fed money into so they could sit you in it and watch the unit lurching you back and forward, which was some bizarre way of stimulating movement to kids, these units could be made to look like a plane, car, animal etc  and would constantly move back and forward for about a minute.

For a bit of fun one of those types of units has been placed in phoenix space stations bar area. All you have to do is jump in and select what type of reaction you want when riding it. Its a nice looking little plane with flames shooting out the back end which seems hot enough to burn your eyebrows clean off you face.

So if you want to relive a little be of childhood, pop down and give the plane a little ride.

Hirogen invades the Station

Phoenix station security cameras detected a breach, the images seems to show a Hirogen hunter searching for prey, eye witnesses, those who survived spotted him in the station bar and engineering floor before he made his getaway by Stealing  a Gryphon MK2 and escaping through the wormhole.

The carnage and body count he left behind is unknown, but the clean up crew will be busy for sometime. So if you see any Hirogens around your options are limited to one recommended action....RUN!!!!

Its advised we keep an eye out as I have a feeling this wont be the last we see of the Hirogens.

Enterprise visits phoenix station

One of the requests Admiral Cobramax Mechanique asked for when the bar at phoenix station was being design was to have some sort of ships outside. The original thought was to have a large texture depicting an Enterprise docked, but it was thought that it may make it look disjointed. Richmerk had a solution by putting out a model Enterprise which circles round the station 24/7.

Its a really cool sight when you're in the bar and at the corner of your eye you see this ship sailing idly past and also quite cool flying outside the station and watching it navigate itself around.

So if you've got a little time to spare, come down and check it out.

Sophie Celebrates Birthday In And Out Of World

As you know from this blog the GFC likes as good party and will whip out a dance ball at the drop of a hat so when Sophie Johnson's  (Hydregion Resident) real life birthday came round this week we threw a little shindig in the Phoenix Station bar and could only imagine how she was celebrating in real life and secondlife at the same time.

Show Me Your Poker Face

Poker is an old age tradition in Star Trek, we all remember the numerous scenes in The Next Generation series where the senior staff go down for a little bluffing. So to help get into the mood people can come and have a go at the poker table in Phoenix Stations bar, no real betting of course, just good old fun.

The table seats 10 people and you get a hud attachment as part of the game. The table plays Texas Hold for those familiar with that flavour  of poker.

New Edition to the Pheonix Station Bar

This new edition was included with a recent shipment to the station that originated from the delta quadrant.  

It was a  gift from an intergalactic one man corporation JensTech (Jailan Resident) which got word of the new station and its phenomenal bar. A matrix display which allows info played on the land stream to be represented in text or embedded frequency scope for some added visual effect.

Be sure to check it out in action at the Phoenix Sci-Fi Bar HERE

Richardjrn Weatherwax's 5th Rez Day

Its hard to believe its been 5 years since a fresh face prim avatar called Richardjrn Weatherwax loaded up SL for the first time and gave the 3D virtual reality platform a whirl. In those five years he has become one of the groups most recognized and talented scripter. Its hard not to travel around the 4 sims and not find something which he has had a hand in the creation of.

To celebrate this feet of dedication and the fact that he had left SL toddler status Sophie Johnson arranged a secret party for him in the new Phoenix Station bar in Sovereign.

The crowds gathered the music pumped and members, guests and ponies strutted their funky stuff.

Congratulation Richardjrn Weatherwax and may you be here in another 5 years.
