Bay City Celebrates it’s Third Anniversary

Saturday May 14th marked the official celebration for the third anniversary of the Bay City area in Second Life. The event was marked by a parade across several of the sims down the street, as well as a “Music Extravaganza” on the grounds of the North Channel sim.

Of the parade, Bay City resident Marianne McCain is quoted as saying there were over sixty marchers in the parade. Lalo Telling got a few pictures of it, including giant racing snails, and a Godzilla float. The music event began at 12:30 PM SL time. . First to play was blogger and DJ Mark Dudek. After he signed off at 1:30, JoeUSA Shelbyville began singing for the crowd. At 2:30 Christov Kohnke cam on stage, and at 3:30 Yaro Pinion. Daniel Voyager got a number of pictures, which can be seen on his Flicker.

There were a number of Second Life notables at the Extravaganza. Most notable were some of the founders and staff from Luskwood, including Michi Lumnin. As it turned out, Luskwood is just several sims west of Bay City. Still, for the crew seldom seen outside the Big Tree, there were a few jokes about the “hardships” of the “long journey” over. Descriptions of how many showed up ranged from about 70 to in the 40’s. There was one griefer whom tried to spoil the fun with insulting remarks to blacks and furries, but the response was mockery and chuckles followed by the banhammer.

The celebration could only be considered a success.

The Second Life Wiki describes Bay City as created by Linden Lab’s Department of Public Works (a program focused on improvements related to the experience of living on, or visiting the Linden Mainland) in 2008. The area was built in mind to reflect the golden age of the North American urban experience, “between 1940 and 1965, perhaps best typified by Chicago circa 1950 and marked by a distinct deco influence." Made up of twenty sims in 2010, it doubled in size when its Teen Grid counterpart was placed next to it.

11 AM Eppie Shoreman at Book Island
Eppie Shoreman returns to host this exciting new concept-event. I'll let her tell you about it: "For many of us, when we were growing up, books were our friends. They took us into fantastic worlds: some amazing, some beautiful, some scary. Growing older, many of us developed an appreciation for new types of books or rediscovered the books we read long ago. Have you ever read a really good story or poem and were so excited, so moved, or so inspired you wanted to share it with someone? Then, this is the event for you! You can chat about the books, short stories, or poetry you've read recently (or long ago). There's no set text and no need to feel you can't come because you haven't read 'this month's book'... This is a casual, welcoming group and we'd love to hear what YOU are, or were, reading!"

Over 65,000 Lindens ($260 US) Raised in RFL Event in Honor of Daaneth Kivioq

On Tuesday April 19th at 6 PM, an event for Relay for Life was held in honor of Daaneth Kivioq. Sadly, Daaneth had been stricken from a stroke. The event was partially to revitalize his team, the Passionate Redheads. But mainly it was to show support for Daan.

The event was launched by Evangaline Ling of Team Relay for Hope, though it was for the Passionate Redheads, Daaneth being a top officer, and had their fundraising kiosk up. And since it was for the Redheads, it was a “Red Hair” event. So people were asked to have their avs wear red hair. Those whom were hairless from a “Bid Me Bald” event got a reprieve for the party, as long as it was red.

The location of the event was the northeast corner of the American Cancer Society sim. People teleporting in walked from the big tree in the middle of the island toward a transparent dome. And on the DJ booth and the sides of the dome were the signs “Get Well Soon Daan.” No one got numbers of how many attended, but at least a few dozen were there.

Members of the Passionate Redheads team formed the lions’ share of the attendees, including Sunweaver Estate owner Rita Mariner, Cutlass Club owner Jenni Greenfield, Club Zero Gravity owner Nydia Tungsten, a number of DJs from both, notably DJ Dusk Griswold who was playing, blogger Treminari Huet, builder and avatar designer Lomgren Smalls, and of course Redheads team captain Sabine McGettigan. Team Relay for Hope had their people their was well, notably their cheerleaders the “Cure Chasers.”

DJ Shayla provided the tunes for the first half of the event. At 7PM, DJ Dusk took over. As the music went on, people challenged one another to contribute more, “for anyone who chips in 100 Lindens, I’ll match it.” People who couldn’t make it at the start dropped by as time went on. As the end of the music approached, DJ Dusk had one last song for Daan:

So now the time has come
For both of us to live on the run
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

And knowing that you would have wanted it this way
I do believe I'm feelin' stronger every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

After what you've meant to me
Ooh baby now
I can make it easily
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know that we both agree
Best thing to happen to you
The best thing that happened to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)

The music ended at 8:01 PM, Dusk commenting, “Winamp just crashed, so guess that's a sign to end the event.” Evangeline Ling then announced, “65,250 Lindens raised tonight!!! That’s $261 US Dollars!” This was followed by cheers of “Yay!” and “Who-hooo!”

And what did Daaneth think of the event? The next day Sabine went to see him, and later told everyone on group chat, “he asked ‘Who was there?’ He cried when I told him all the names. It meant a lot to him. It meant everything. You know how he loves his friends. ... Dusk, I told him your last song. ‘ Feeling Stronger Every Day.’ I sang it to him. He loved it.” Dusk commented, “Some nights the music just seems to flow and I know just what to play. Last night was one of those nights.”

Sabine had a notecard, sent to the Redheads and presumably other RFL groups,

Dearest Relayers and Friends,

There are no words to thank you enough.

The beautiful “Get Well Daaneth” event held at the ACS Island on Tuesday night was a lovely tribute to a man who has freely given his heart to so many.

I am simply overwhelmed by the love that’s been showered upon our team during Daaneth’s illness. We are filled with gratitude for all of our friends who came to support us, and to all who contributed to the Redheads Kiosks in honor of Daan. Solidarity among the Relay for Life participants has long been a goal of ours; seeing this come to fruition was a beautiful way to honor one of our own.

I wish especially to thank Evangaline Ling and her Team, Relay for Hope, who spent many hours planning the Event; the Cure Chasers for the beautiful and artistic decorations and dance floor; and DJ Shayla and DJ Dusk for making the evening perfect with their special music for Daan.

It was, in all, an evening we’ll always remember. Thank you, thank you!

Go Relay! Go Daaneth!

With Love,

Sabine McGettigan, Captain
The Passionate Redheads Team for Relay for Life

The team wishes Daan well, and hopes he soon recovers.

Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)
Feelin' stronger every day
(You know I'm alright now)

11 AM Eppie Shoreman at Book Island
Eppie Shoreman returns to host this exciting new concept-event. I'll let her tell you about it: "For many of us, when we were growing up, books were our friends. They took us into fantastic worlds: some amazing, some beautiful, some scary. Growing older, many of us developed an appreciation for new types of books or rediscovered the books we read long ago. Have you ever read a really good story or poem and were so excited, so moved, or so inspired you wanted to share it with someone? Then, this is the event for you! You can chat about the books, short stories, or poetry you've read recently (or long ago). There's no set text and no need to feel you can't come because you haven't read 'this month's book'... This is a casual, welcoming group and we'd love to hear what YOU are, or were, reading!"
