Tiny Carolers At Club Amarantha

 

On Sunday December 19, Club Amarantha had some visitors of small stature. Raglan Shire's tiny carolers had come over to sing. Yours truly got in a bit late, but caught the tail end of the performance, as only the tinies of Raglan can do one.

~*~Happy Wootmas everyone~*~

And at the end, they started shaking up the stage with their "tiny riverdance," the place starting to sound like it was being tromped on by much larger critters, "Shake the sim!" Violet Solano would comment, "Good thing I build solid."

It was a fun event by performers small in height, but big in heart.

Looking Back at ComCat Fenstalker

The Sunweaver community and the Meli's Maniacs Relay team got some sad news this weekend. ComCat Fenstalker, also known by her display name CC, had passed away. The Newser talked to a couple people who knew her, Dusk Griswold and Violet Solano, who both had a number of things to say about her.

Sunbeamers Reach Jade Due To Anonymous Donor

The weekend of May 8-10 was very much a successful one for Team Sunbeamers. On Friday May 8, the day DJ Matt was playing at the Fantasy Faire, an anonymous donor donated a huge amount of Lindens, sending the team past the half million mark, or Jade fundraising level.

"I checked the web site total early today and it was 473,100," Cynthia Farshore told me near the end of the day, "I knew we needed 26900 to make 500k ... which 26900 plus the over totals ...64,968! So just today we racked in just under 65k." Team Captain Rita Mariner would later say, "I am curious as all heck, who pushed us over the hump into JADE. I have no clue and it came as a huge happy surprise to me."

Saturday was the day of the multi-team event at Meli's Maniac's Club Amarantha. The Bring Your Own Kiosk event was a fantastic success for the Maniacs, with over 80,000 Lindens brought in. At one point, they pulled their kiosk down so the other teams there would get more cash. By Monday, their team total would cross the 100K mark to 102,000 Lindens. The Sunbeamers would make a little over 10,000 L at the party.

On Saturday night, the results of Shockwave Yareach and Cyanthia's two "Bid Me" events were totaled at Club Cutlass. It had been expected they would be having a change of appearances for a few weeks, but like with Nydia's event a few weeks ago, there was a last minute surprise. Enough money had been donated in their "stay" kiosks to keep them as is.

CYNTHIA: Goat:   12,200L
                   Fox:     10,000L
                  Wolf:           200L
                 
SHOCKY:    Wolf:    12,200L
                     Fox:       3,060L
                    Goat:   10,001L
                   
TotaL:                        47,661L

Talking to Cynthia, she was a little worried if some people were disappointed at the results, expecting a change. But Rita was happy, saying the team had gotten almost 48,000 Lindens as a result.

As of now, the Sunbeamers have raised 582,100 Linden dollars. And the team still has much to do. There's a special event by the Sunbeamers this Friday at a special location, plus a "Moon Dance" at Sunlight Bay a week from now on Tuesday May 19. Both events are Bring Your Own Kiosk. The team is confident of reaching Sapphire rank, 750,000 Linden dollars soon.

Go Relay!

Meli's Maniacs' Last Minute Mania Event

The Relay for Life team Meli's Maniacs is having one more event, presumable the last one, before the Relay Weekend this upcoming Saturday and Sunday. The "Last Minute Mania" is a DJing marathon that was already going on for ten hours before I showed up at 8PM last night.

Joint Sunbeamers/Meli's Maniacs Relay Event at Club Amarantha

Even with the Relay Weekend closing in, some teams are still having an event or two beforehand. On Sunday July 2, Team Meli's Maniacs hosted a joint event with the Sunbeamers at Club Amarantha. From 12 to 2PM, DJ Tantari played her "Pink Fox" set in honor of Artistic Fimicloud.

One amusing detail about the club was the bacon dropper. At the mention of the word "bacon," it would drop pieces of it onto the floor. It wasn't long before the floor became covered with the "meat candy."

Over 5,000 Lindens were raised at the event.

Two Sunbeamer Events: Joint Party With Mel's Maniacs and Artistic Fimicloud Tribute

On Sunday June 26, the Relay for Life's Team Sunbeamers held a joint event with another Relay team, Mel's Maniacs. The event took place at Club Amarantha, on the sim of the same name, lasting from 3PM to 5PM SL time. The majority of those showing up were from the Sunbeamers, but there were a number from the Maniacs as well. The other team was named in honor of a friend whom passed away from cancer in 2011, this season being their fourth.

Rita Mariner the Sunbeamer leader was there in her anthro "Pinkie Pie" pony avatar, her second avatar as part of her "Bid Me Pink" avatar challenge. As one can see in this screenshot, she still isn't thrilled about being in pink.

Dusk Griswold and Skylark LeFavre Djed for the first hour, and the crowd enjoyed the tuns, danced and joked a little. At one point, someone mentioned the word "bacon," and it started dropping from some contraption from the ceiling, "Did someone say BACON?" That got people saying "bacon" over and over again just to get it to drop more of the "meat candy," littering the ground with it.

The event would raise several thousand thousand Lindens, which was split among the two teams.

 On Tuesday June 28 at 6PM, the Happy Vixen Beach club held a special event for Team Sunbeamers: a tribute to the noted late member of the Sunweaver Estates Artistic Fimicould, whom had passed away from cancer several years ago. Every year, the Sunbeamers, and before them the old Passionate Redheads. "I Relay for Fimi" became a tag worn by a number of members. Held every year, the event is usually held in late May around the anniversary of Fimi's death. But complications moved the event up a month.

This is a Journey Into Sound with DJ Tantari.  Tonight's Journey is Pink Fox - written for Artistic Fimicoloud, aka Stephanie Koslow.  We lost her to cancer in 2008.  The search for a cure goes on in her memory.  Never give up!  Never give in!

DJ Tantari played a new music set of hers, "Pink Fox," in honor of Fimi,whom was known by her pink vixen avatar. Tantari commented that she had put the set together in less than two days. Usually compiling a two hour set of tunes takes longer. So for two hours, various tunes were played, some about pink, foxes, and other subjects. She ended her set with one particular song: "Goodbye."

"In the end, all we can do is move on... and say goodbye....."

She will never return
Never again
Be part of what has once
Felt so secure
Just adored
As it is getting oh so cold

You know
You have to let it go
Don't cry
So hard to say goodbye

At the end, Tantari thanked everyone, "Thank you all for coming here tonight.  And tuning in.  And remembering with us."

As the Relay teams continue to hold events, they are also getting ready to build their camps on the Relay track, of which the sims have just been rezzed but have limited access only to a few of the Relay volunteers, such as the captains of the teams which have camps there, and the builders. The Relay Walk, also known as the Relay Weekeend, is on Saturday June 23 and Sunday June 24.
