Labor Day Weekend

 

 Today is Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer. And this weekend, people have been having one last bit of summer fun, or at least enjoying the last three day weekend before fall.

The reporters of the Newser have taken some much needed time to relax, both from SL newsing, and RL, but we'll be back soon.

Happy Labor Day

 

It's Labor Day weekend, and we're taking advantage of the weekend to rest a bit. But don't worry. We'll soon have some more great stories.

A Busy Weekend



Quite a bit happened this Labor Day Weekend. Friday saw the "Christmas in August" party in Caledon to raise money for it's university. Saturday saw Marianne McCanne's last summertime fireworks. Sunday saw the last day that the Lovefest event was officially open. And of course there were parties all over to celebrate the traditional end of the summer vacation season. Stay tuned for articles on these, and more, as time allows.

Marianne McCann's Last Summertime Firework Show For 2015



Every Saturday this summer, Marianne McCann has been launching fireworks from the school at "Kick the Can" in the Livingtree sim for her friends. On Saturday September 5, on the Labor Day weekend, Marianne announced at 7:45 that the 8PM event would be the last of it's kind for the rest of the year.


 As usual, the crowd "Oooo"ed and "Ahhh"ed at the show, complementing Marianne for the beauty of the displays. There were a few crack comments about the Bay City Fire Department giving her a fine for launching the pyrotechnics so close to a building, and the place catching afire. Others responded she'd gotten away with everything else so far.


The music for the event was provided by DJ GoSpeed Racer, on her KONA stream.


Finally the show ended with the last of the virtual fireworks forming a rainbow, and GoSpeed playing the music of a certain Japanese anime as the finale, saying there were "bonus points" for the one who correctly guessed it. Someone correctly answered, "Star Blazers," and asked what the points were. GoSpeed answered, "The knowledge that you're smart," then giggled.

And so ended the last of Marianne's summertime fireworks shows, but only for now. In June 2016, Marianne is sure to do them again, much to the worry of Bay City's fire inspectors.
