FEZZIWIG'S BALL - Coming Sunday, December 21st Beginning at 11am

“ . . . the floor was swept and watered, the lamps were trimmed, fuel was heaped upon the fire; and the warehouse was as snug, and warm, and dry, and bright a ball-room as you would desire to see upon a winter's night.”

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 "The End of It", 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.

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 A CHRISTMAS CAROL will be presented live in voice.

11am: Stave One, "Marley's Ghost"             with Caledonia Skytower & Shandon Loring

Noon: Stave Two, "The First of Three Spirits" with  Bhelanna Blaze & John Morland

1pm: Stave Three, "The Second of Three Spirits" with Kayden Oconnell & Aoife Lorefield

2pm: Staves Four & Five, "The Last of the Spirits" & "The End of It" with Corwyn Allen, Freda Frostbite, & Dubhna Rhiadra

How Cool is THAT?!  Thank you Phoenix/Firestorm!

ALMOST TIME TO OPEN!

When I was in college I had a design professor from London one year.  A little elven man who ran about most of the Fall chuckling, "It's almost Panto Time!"

I feel like that now ... "It's almost Dickens Time!"  Have been listening to Klannex Northmead's daily 1pm readings from Little Dorrit at Written Word (most days but Sunday's & UK Bank Holidays  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cookie/15/244/22) through out December at 1pm SLT) while working on promo texts, uploading images, looking for props on Marketplace, and eating lunch.

The Dickens Project Build is almost ready to move down to the terra level ... and Friday's Opening is almost upon us ... more in progress shots below.  It's nearly time to put the roofs on and start moving!

The first of the roofs goes up ... only three more to go!
