TIME TO STEP UP! BOOFest is Nigh!

In six weeks it will be time to gather round the crackling fire as the air begins to crisp with Autumn, and tell ghosty-ghouly tales.  We'll gather round the fires at Bran, where we held StoryFest in March.  Those interested in Presenting should contact Caledonia Skytower or Dubhna Rhiadra in world by notecard.  There will be 30 and 60 minute slots available (non concurrent this time).  As with StoryFest, there will be no stream available, and limited rezzing.  Just your voice in the dark . . . Mwwwwahahahahahahahaah!

Submissions to present will be accepted through the end of the Virtual Day on September 17th.

Thank You to Everyone!  It was a glorious weekend with us peaking at over 50 each performance, and a brief visit Sunday by the new LLabs Content Specialist for Arts & Culture who was AMAZED (and a fan of Shakespeare to boot)!  We equaled virtual ABBA for the amount of sim traffic created at Mango!  Mille Gracie!!!

What do you say, the metaverse and Linden Labs willing, that we meet on the Beach again next summer? . . . Thank you Bear and Crap for all the great photos (see previous posts to link to their galleries for the full meal deal of snaps!)

I loved the Peacock!  what did we name him?  Willy?
