At The Relay Rap, Relay Weekend

Before the Relay Weekend was officially underway yesterday, there was a special session of the Relay Rap, a broadcasted chat about the Relay for Life in Second Life by T-1 Radio and Trader Whiplash at 7AM. There were a few guests invited to speak, the Giant Snail Races organizer RacerX Gullwing, noted interviewer and informative machinima director Draxtor Despress, and yours truly SL Newser editor and head reporter Bixyl Shuftan

I was asked a few questions, such as a favorite early memory of the Relay for Life in Second Life. What stood out for me was my first good look at the Passionate Redheads team and it's Wild Wild West camp. T-1 Radio's location is in the sci-fi looking area of RFL Victory.

The Opening Ceremonies started at 10AM, and at 11 the Survivors/Caregivers lap, and 12:30 the team lap, and at 2PM the various themed laps. This included a "Game of Thrones" theme for the first time.

The Relay Weekend continues today, so be sure to come by if your computer can handle it.

Cartoon of the Day: A Stinky Situation

Taken at the Relay Rap just before the "Skunk Aid" event last week. A seat behind someone with a "Pepe Le Pew" avatar isn't exactly where one wants to sit.

Cartoon of the Day

Rowena Dubrovna stated if her Relay team passed a certain milestone, she'd wear a micro-sized gecko avatar for a week. Here she is at a Relay Rap as the small scaley, with Madonna Daehlie just behind her. Considering the most well-known gecko in popular media, the punch line was obvious.

Stingray's Avatar Challenge

Many volunteers for the Relay for Life have done all kinds of stunts to raise funds for the effort, sometimes putting their dignity on the line. For Stingray Raymaker, he offered the person whom put the largest amount of Lindens in the Relay kiosk during Sunday's Relay Rap program the opportunity to give him an avatar makeover. So what happened? Stingray got much, much, more than he bargained for as he had to endure a "purr-fect" mess that was a "cat"astrophe for his pride.

See the segments of the group chatter and pictures of Stingray's look this week in People.

"Relay Rap" Begins for 2013

The Relay For Life fundraising season doesn't officially begin until March. But already the radio show about the event is starting weekly broadcasts. Bixyl Shuftan was invited to drop in to sit with the Relayers as they discussed both the past season and plans for the one ahead for 2013.
