Happy 3rd Anniversary Artificial Isle!

I was pleased to have been asked to assist in the coordination and planning of the Founder's Day events in Artificial Isle (Ai).

The event was to have been simply a fun party held in the Oceanside area of Ai filled with music and laughter. We had a live musician, harpo Jedburgh, for the first hour of the celebration.

harpo Jedburgh played a great set for the first hour of the party.

And DJ Frequency Picnic was at the turntables for the rest of the fun.

Despite the issues with huge concurrency and bots, which made logging-in impossible for many, we had a nice crowd and quite a lot of fun.

MarkTwain and Nber dance to the music

A member of the Royal Caledonian Air Force who enjoys flying in the area, decides to dance in the air as well.

(Wolf whistle) MarkTwain strips down to his...erm....valentine swim trunks...for the dunking booth fun.

The crowd lined up to ensure that Mark hit the drink.

ZATZ's turn

aaaannnnd....she goes under.

I've not been notified who won the tardis in the drawing at the end of the party as I had to return to the real.

I look forward to the next events in ZATZAi and Artificial Isle. Many more happy years!!

A Rez Day party of epic proportions

Gads! Put Exrex, Calli, and me on the case of a great Rez Day party and what do you get?

Avatars filling the Oceanside venue at Artificial Isle (Thanks again, Zatz!), folks from Caledon, Steelhead, Babbage, Anitquity, Winterfell, and several other sims. Hobos, NPIRL artists, Vicereines (who seem to enjoy caging Duchesses while they are away and moving them onto the stage with intent to orbit, but the stage did not cooperate- Hmph!), several Wrath Fleet members, and many others.

We had mud wrestling, water slides, swimming, dancing, fencing, joke telling, capture the flag (boats), and all around revelry. After the main party ended, there were enough folks who wanted to continue the fun that it was moved to Steelhead for another hour or so.

Thanks to all who assisted, and particularly Therese Slade and her wonderful music!

Happy 2nd Rez Day, Hotspur!

Slurl to the event

There is still work to be done, but doing this work is very pleasing. It is wonderful to have such a fantastic venue to hold this formal military-themed event. Thanks go out to ZATZAi for asking that we create a special event for these sims. He has permitted us to change nearly all the interior textures of his amphitheatre to make it feel like a ballroom in a 19th century Navy Base.

Many thanks in advance to ZATZAi, Hotspur O'Toole, AngusGraham Caewlin, Exrex Somme, and Soliel Snook for their work and efforts in this venture. There are many more folks from several sims who will also be a part (soon as I confirm them, I'll add them to my thank you list) of this fine event.



Even if you are not a part of a formal military RP unit, please join us. Dress Uniform or Black Tie please, if you have it. We look forward to seeing you there!
