Looking Back: The Sunbeamers At Relaystock (2024)

 

It's been a sad time for those in the Sunweaver community. With the passing of Rita Mariner, we naturally look back at happier times, including yours truly. One of the things we took pride in was our efforts to raise money for the Relay for Life in Second Life as Team Sunbeamers. And one of the activities we did every year was taking part in the Relaystock. Sadly, both the Relay Rockers, the team that organized the Relaystock, and Team Sunbeamers, are gone. But we can look back on the memories. A couple years ago, I would write an in-depth article of just went on while the girls danced on stage for an hour, while one guy would live up to a couple bets with mildly embarrassing but funny results.

The Sunbeamers At Relaystock

 

Yesterday on June 30, the Relay for Life's fundraising season for 2024 came to a close. Among the teams taking part were the Sunbeamers, which ended at Ruby level and eleventh place. The team had taken part in a number of events to raise money. Among them was the Relaystock in mid-May, a tribute to the noted three day rock music festival in 1969. DJ Cynthia would head a band of dancers on stage. So how well did they do?

Performance at Club Image

Grey Lupindo recently saw a dance performance event at a place called Club Image. The audience was treated to four dance acts on stage. Although most of the performers were Japanese, language wasn't really an issue here with the dancing and music. So what did Grey think of the event?

Reader Submitted: Lanai Jarrico's Rezzday

From Hal Jordon (Greenlantern Excelsior), whom was acting as security for Second Life Enquirer editor Lanai Jarrico's ninth rezzday party. Yours truly was there, but Hal caught a scene that I failed to: the Chippendale dancers doing a "we're not worthy" pose.

Happy Rezzday Lanai.
