The Twisted Wheel is a 1960's themed Night Club that exists in the virtual world of Second Life. It serves as a home and meeting place for fans of sixties "Mod" music and Northern Soul. There is a virtual Scooter shop and a small sixties themed clothing boutique in the vicinity. The club is always streaming some of the best and rarest Mod music or some classic Northern Soul tunes. Right now it's still in it's infancy but regular DJ's have now started to pull in the crowds and the 'Wheel is on it's way to becoming one of Second Life's finest "undiscovered" night spots. Those familiar with "night life" in Second Life may be in for a surprise. You will find no Strippers or Sploder devices at the 'Wheel, no camping chairs to increase traffic and certainly no sexual content of any nature. Upon entering the Twisted Wheel even on a busy night you won't be greeted by any automatic device thrusting Landmarks and Note Cards at you, nor will be there over enthusiastic hostess's screaming lines of text down your screen telling you just how great the place is. This is simply a place for those like minded people with a love for this very special classic music who like to come and dance to some groovin' tunes. You will find many people "dress the part" but this isn't compulsory as this isn't a role play sim despite the attention to detail applied to the build.
The Twisted Wheel was named a very famous night in the North of England which closed its doors in 1971 and sported some of the greatest acts in Sixties pop and Northern Soul in the country. I've since heard that the original club has now opened it's famous doors once again but I have yet to sample it's delights in "Real Life".
This blog is here to describe some of the incidents and events at the Twisted Wheel and to give you an insight in to just some of the amusing and entertaining events in the 1960's virtual world.
