Zoooooom

Well slack again, no updates for ages, which is a pity as there was so much I could have put.
This time it just seemed that I was always to busy to get in here and post what was happening.  So lets see what has been and gone?  -
SL9B the 9th birthday of Second Life http://sl9b.wordpress.com/, a huge event, that I took part in not just as a builder, but also as a presenter, stage manager, moderator, and exhibitors assistant.  In others words general dogs body, I wore a lot of hats and at times had to juggle which was more important.

Around the same time as SL9B, was the Burn2 http://www.burn2.org/mini event.  With time constraints from other things, I participated only as a builder, producing my fiendish maze.

RFL (Relay For Life) http://rflofsl.blogspot.com/ had the Dreams group seeking volunteers to help build a great area for people to enjoy on the theme of time for a cure.  Each year the citizens of sl raise a fantastic amount of money  for the American Cancer Society, and I helped out arranging things, landscaping, and calling on others to put to various items.  Pictures from this can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos

That time of year that my rl friend adores, the Royal Show, came around and so I soon had all her rides and decorations placed strategically around our sim.  ICalot, a good friend helped us out immensely with greeting people as they arrived and helping them with information, a very important job when half the people arriving are completely new to the world.

With the Show time not being that far removed from Halloween, we have been busy adding all the spooky gross stuff to give a new experience.

And finally on the horizon are two more big events for myself and my friend, the main big Burn2, in which I have taken on volunteer roles that again mean I am wearing many hats and putting in a lot of time as well as trying to do my own build.
The Burn2 event ends as the echo of another rl event starts for myself and the co-owner of our sim.  Feast starts in November, a celebration of the diversity of people, this is an event I usually take part in rl, and try to bring a little of the celebration into sl.

Well there it is, busy busy busy, I will try and get some pictures up of the various things and then post the links for those interested.
