Decades Ball and Festival -- June 27 Fundraiser for TRC website -- Discussion and Planning
General Discussion
After some discussion with folks with funds, financing has been achieved for a full sim to be available for setting up and hosting The Decades Festival and Ball. The sim will be available starting June 7 for individuals organizing displays and events to start setting up. I ask that all such events and displays be set up by June 14 so that we have a week to bring in the virtual press and to take lots of venue pictures for PR purposes.
Now for the nitty gritty-- Volunteers will be needed to man the sim round the clock on June 21, from midnight to midnight. I can be there a lot of the time, in one form or another. Our friend Trolley has said she can be there too, in one form or another. We will need folks from many time zones to help greet visitors, to tell them where the various exhibits are and to encourage them to donate L's to the cause, maintenance of this site. So, please consider volunteering your time and energy for one or more two-hour shifts at the Decades Festival. I'll post more in a week or so about this. In the meantime, please consider the possibility.
It is already definite that the event will include a Decades Ball at 12 noon SLT on June 21st. There will also be live music events and several exhibits. Are you an sl performer who would like to be considered for a performance at The Decades Festival? Do you know one? If so, please contact me (or Freda Frostbite inworld).
Do you have an idea for an exhibit or performance st the Decades Festival? If so, please contact me.
Do you like poetry and do you read in local voice? If so, please contact me.
Do you run or are you associated with a historical rp venue in SL? If so, please send me information regarding your venue. Include it's name, a brief description of the venue, and an LM for the venue.
Do you have lots of contacts with the sl press? If so, please contact me.
Do you have an "in" with the good folks at Linden Labs? If so, please contact me.
Please consider joining the group inworld known as "RP Bulletin Board." You can find it in Freda Frostbite's groups list. It would be nice to use that group for communication with folks about planning the Decades Festival.
There will be lots more news once my rl settles down again in one week and a day. (How bad is it when you start counting down the days 'til a house guest's departure before the guest has even arrived?) In the meantime, I will be contacting individuals and asking for LOTS of help with this project. Please feel free to IM me with your thoughts and ideas and questions. Just know I may be slow to answer for a few days.
