Weekend in Brief

 

 

There were a number of happenings this week. This included several Relay for Life fundraising ones. Among them was the seven hours of four DJs playing music at Woodland Groves Theme Park on Saturday March 28, including DJ Cynthia for Team Sunbeamers. The first two DJs raised a total of 44,000 Linden dollars, with the amount the second two raised pending. Sadly the sim the event took place on, Woodland Waves Adventure, may be closing soon.

 

 

Among the events on Sunday March 29 was the Bay City Food Truck Festival (which took me by surprise as I never got a press release or saw a mention of it in the Bay City Discord, and only found out when one of the city's gryphon friends told me). For two hours, there was music by DJ GoSpeed Racer while people danced the conga, played with the foam machine, sampled the foods, and voted for the best food truck, the prize going to TJ Hooker's "Adam's Ribs." The trucks stay up to April 15, that is those whose owners aren't worried about "Ever's Night."

 

More on these events later.

Ongoing Relay Event: Freedom Rock Concert

 

On Monday March 3, yours truly stopped by the Freedom Rock concert, a two week event organized by the Relay for Life team Camping for A Cure. At 3PM, Marina Sharpshire was on the stage singing. 

As she sang, people cheered each other on, encouraging more donations, and even buying others raffle tickets, "Here let me buy a few tickets for others!" "Marina is so amazing." "Teach someone new about relay and how great it is." "I wonder if i give 100 how long it would take for us to get to 14000?" "ALL ABOARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!" "What a relief for a person fighting cancer and their family to not have to worry about where to stay while getting treatment." "One Team!!!"

As of now, Camping for A Cure has over 830,000 Lindens raised, third among the teams. 

Freedom Rock goes on to Sunday March 16.

DJ Competition For Relay For Life

 

On Sunday February 18, there was a DJ competition hosted by Relay for Life's Team Sugar Skols. the event took place Sunday afternoon and early evening, starting at 4PM SL time.

 The Sugar Skols RFL season kicks off on Sunday, February 18th at 4SLT with an EPIC DJ Battle to raise money for the ACS! Please join us to support the battle cries of our incredible DJs as they face off head to head with surprise theme and twist to kick off the season in style and raise money to kick cancer’s ass! Every warrior goes to Valhalla! Skol! 

Among the several DJs were two from Team Sunweavers, DJ Snowbuns and DJ Shockwave. While most competitions had the performers playing one hour at a time, in this one they would play two or three tunes, then another DJ would. Each was on a small stage with a kiosk next to it, with fans sending money to them. The winner was the one who raised the most.

DJ Snowbuns would later tell me she won second place at the DJ battle. She had gotten a trophy for her efforts. 

Go Relay!

 With Halloween season going on, it's easy to forget there's other things taking place. Right now, the Burn2 art and music festival is happening. Twelve sims of art exhibits, and DJs playing tunes. 

 

 This year's theme, Animalia. Near the entrance at Deep Hole, one can get a number of free gifts.

The high points of the festival are the Burning of The Man on Saturday, and the Temple Burn on Sunday. 

 

The event officially ends Sunday night, but the exhibits will remain up for a few days. And later on will be the "Skin Burn."

Weekend At A Glance

 

 

 While there were a number of events this weekend, a few stood out. One was the "Waterworld" event at the Burn ONe area in Highup. A tribute to the 1995 movie with Kevin Costner, the main feature was a build based on the floating town in the film, From Friday at 1 to Midnight on Sunday, there were musical performances, such as DJ Grease, and each night showings of the movie.

Also taking place was the NatureCon. It actually started on Thursday, but continued over the weekend and is still going on.

Also going on were tributes to the late Ktahdn Vesuvino, who passed away last week. If you missed any, there is still at least one that has yet to take place.

DJ Tantari Wins DJ Competition

 Last Saturday, May 22, DJ Tantari was part of a DJ competition at the Spotted Kitty Club. It was her versus seven other DJs. At 5PM, it was her turn to turn up the tunage, in the way only she could. She would make it to the finals, and won. She got 3000 Lindens from the club, and a homemade large cookie from real-life family, for her win.

DJ Tantari's been a friend of the Newser, in the past giving her take on it with her "True Facts" and a music set she named in it's honor.
