    AN INVITATION TO BE A PART OF BOOFest 2011 - PASS IT  ON!
    BOOFest is a partnership between the Bran Arts Center, Seanchai Library, and the StoryFest Events Group.  Our goal is to present two days of ghosty-ghouly stories best told around a crackling autumnal fire and presented in a variety of methods:  Traditional Telling, Literature, Theatre, etc. 

    WHEN & WHERE?

    Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2 at “Here Be Pictsies!” in Bran.

    Saturday,October 1:
    •    Noon to 4pm

    Sunday, October 2:
    •    10am to 2pm & 3pm to 5pm

    WHO IS INVITED TO PRESENT?
    Anyone who is currently presenting stories in Second Life in any manner that is a live performance.  Presentations should fit within 30 or 60 minute performance slots, and be presentable in live Voice.  Some limited performance slots for more elaborate presentations are possible.  No stream will be available for individual performers. 

    WHAT ELSE?
    There will be a resource area near the Landing Zone where guests attending can click on an image you provide and receive notecard information about you, where and when they can find you on the grid, freebie giveaways if you want . . . whatever.  This is designed to help you promote what you do beyond the festival, and hopefully draw new audiences to your story events (and cut down on the amount of time and prims it would take to set this up at individual venues).

    INTERESTED? . . . PERFORMERS AND VOLUNTEER HOSTS NEEDED
    Contact Caledonia Skytower or Dubhna Rhiadra via notecard by September 17th.  Please be sure to include the length of slot you are interested in, some reference to what and where you currently present on the grid, what you intend to present at StoryFest, and any technical needs you might hope for (prims needed etc.). PLEASE NOTE AGAIN: No Stream will be available for individual presenters.

    The StoryFest performances will be confirmed by September 25th, and the final schedule published at that time.

    The organizers reserve the right to review the performers submitting and accept those performances & performers that they feel best fit the goals of the festival.
