StoryFest Events presents its sunset celebration of Charles Dickens' holiday classic. Nine talented voices over four hours will take you on the journey of insight and redemption of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. Once we've come to <i>"The End of It"</i>, put on your dancing shoes and dance like it's 1843! Dubhna Rhiadra will spin some appropriate festive tunes to celebrate the season and the redemption of a soul.<br />
<br />
Join us at Fezziwig's Warehouse, appearing magically in the Event Space B on Imagination Island. Victorian attire is suggested, but certainly not required. All times Pacific, and <i><b>A CHRISTMAS CAROL</b></i> will be presented live in voice.<br />

<div>
We'd like to thank everyone who has been so incredibly supportive of StoryFest Events over the past four years, including: Branwen Arts, Crap Mariner, Inara Pey, Equinox Pinion & Denis Lagan, and Thinkerer Melville PLUS all the great storytellers, readers and performers who have been a part of <i><b>Storyfest, Bard On the Beach, BOOFest</b></i>, and <i><b>The Dickens Project </b></i>-- It's been a fabulous time!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of these events may re-emerge in the future under new sponsorship and management, but StoryFest Events as a production entity is closing its storybook as of this event.</div>

After over five hours of non-stop stories (except for those brief moments of stretching and "hokey-pokeying") Live and Learn in Kenya's Feed-A-Smile Program had 318 more meals fro kids in Kenya than they did before. <br />
<br />
That total is kind of hard to equate, so look at it this way: <i><b>if</b></i> this were one child, 318 meals would mean three meals a day for 106 days, OR nearly four months! Not bad for just telling stories, eh?<br />
<br />
Many thanks to Branwen Arts and Seanchai Library for another great event. Our gratitude to Brique Topaz and <a href="http://www.leben-lernen-kenia.org/typo3/index.php?id=6&L=1" target="_blank">Live and Learn in Kenya</a> for letting bring our madness to The Lavender Field.<br />
<br />
And thanks to Rick Quargen for the FAB composite photos!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
It would just not be a BOOFest without the appearance of the
Prim Reaper. Crap's involvement and support of StoryFest events goes way
back to the very beginning, and has never, ever waned. Always
unpredictable and irreverent, no subject is too sacred, no cow too holy for
Crap not to pull it out, examine it, and bang it on the table a few times
before putting it back where he found it - albeit slightly crumpled. Long ago,
he swore an oath to write a 100 word story every day until the day he died.

StoryFest Founder, Seanchai Library Lead and Author Caledonia admits that her spooky stories are really not of the "blood-guts-and-entrails" class.She's written a ghost-spooky story a year for the past three years, which might be best classified as "spooky sweet."

Soon it will be time again to gather round the crackling fire as the air crisps with Autumn, and tell ghosty-ghouly tales. We'll gather at Bran on October 19th for the 4th Annual BOOfest. <br />
<br />
Submissions for story presentations will be accepted for 30 minute time slots. Some 60 minute slots will be available, and we request those who are interested to claim a 30 minute slot first, and indicate that they would be interested in 60 minutes if one is available. Our primary goal is to involve as many different storytellers as are interested in participating, to provide the broadest selection of stories & voices for our audience. Literature Readings, Traditional Telling, and Original Works are all accepted. No "Adult" material, please.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
Tentatively, stories will begin at 10am SLT and conclude at 5pm SLT, but that may be subject to change. Story presentations must be live, not pre-recorded. Those interested in Presenting should contact Caledonia Skytower or Dubhna Rhiadra in world via notecard (PLEASE!).<br />
<br />
<b>Include the following information in your notecard:</b><br />
<br />
~ Your name. Whether you are performing solo or with others (please include their names),<br />
<br />
~ The piece you intend to present if you know it (not required till we actually get to October).<br />
<br />
~ Time of day preference or any time constraints we need to consider when scheduling you.<br />
<br />
~ The size time slot you need (Are you interested in a 60 minute time slot if the schedule can accommodate it?)<br />
<br />
As with StoryFest, there will be no stream available, and limited rezzing. Just your voice in the dark . . . Mwwwwahahahahahahahaah!<br />
<br />
Submissions to present will be accepted through the end of the Virtual Day on October 10th.<br />

Stories are an important part of who we are as human
beings. It doesn't matter whether it is
a "the one that got away" tale shared over a pint, or a masterwork of
literature designed to make you contemplate large life issues. Stories help us express ourselves, and make
sense of our world. In stories, we can
arrange the details so that the chaotic physical and emotional experiences of
life make sense. Stories are powerful.</div>

drink from some low log, along the brook itself. And do not drink in the
blinding sunlight, which makes it hard to see if danger is near; then, too, it
is that the Blacksnake crawls out to seek some basking place in the hottest
sun.This is the story of a young squirrel who did not heed the warning of it

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:</b></span><br />
It is will sincere apologies that we announce that the planned "Walk Through" Sections of this year's Dickens Project will not all be opening as planned. The sections were all begun, but RL circumstances and internet challenges (plus prims) have conspired against completing these areas to our standards, and realizing this goal has ceased to be realistic.<br />
<br />
We are pleased to announce that we will be opening the "Christmas Past" area today (12-19) and it will be available for exploration through the balance of this year's Project. We hope to schedule an impromptu reading of Stave Two with guests invited to explore while the reading is in progress to experience the "Greater Vision" of The Dickens Project.<br />
<br />
Look for the teleport station near the "Christmas Past" Illustration slide show. <br />
<br />
Thank you all for your support, and a Happy Holidays!<br />

It was just a year ago that we tried out something new in celebration of the the Dickens Bicentennial of his birth. We thought "there are celebrations all over the real world, why not in the virtual world as well?" That was how The Dickens Project iSL was born. <br />
<br />
After two weeks, thousands of visitors and nearly thirty hours of live voice programming from the author's works, we decided it was too good an idea for just one year. So we are trying it again! Thanks to the generosity of Thinkerer Melville, this year's Dickens Project has found a home on Cookie, and will feature the next steps in the "big dream" of a totally immersive environment for the enjoyment of live readings from the vast Dickens canon of works.<br />

<b>2:30PM - SPOOKINESS, 100W AT A TIME with Crap Mariner</b><br />
If we've said it once, we've said it whole bunches of times, and we REALLY mean it! <span style="font-weight: normal;">Long ago, he swore an oath to write a
100 word story every day until the day he died. He's not dead
yet.Always unpredictable and irreverent, no subject is too sacred, no
cow
too holy for Crap not to pull it out, examine it, and bang it on the
table a few times before putting it back where he found it - albeit
slightly crumpled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> He's a man with a mission!</span></span><br />

Soon it will be time again to gather round the crackling fire as the air crisps with Autumn, and tell ghosty-ghouly tales. We'll gather at Bran on October 27th for the 3rd Annual BOOfest. The region is once again planning on holding BOOStock the day before on Saturday, October 26th, so it will be a big weekend. <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bran/78/141/24">http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bran/78/141/24</a><br />

<br />
~ Time of day preference or any time constraints we need to consider when scheduling you.<br />

War
Child strives to empower children and young people to flourish within
their communities and overcome the challenges of living with, and
recovering from, conflict. To achieve this, War Child works
collaboratively with those communities to increase access to education,
overcome the obstacles of poverty and create a protective environment
for the rights of children and youth. The ultimate goal of War Child is
that someday we will live in a world where no child knows war. <br />
<br />
There
is no obligation to tip at BARD. It is offered freely to the SL
Community. All tips received will be forwarded to War Child through the
West Of Ireland in SL, which collects and forwards donations to the
charity monthly. Donations go directly to the charity, and none are used
to pay overhead or other expenses. Ninety cents of every donated dollar
received by War Child goes directly to programs.</div>
