DJ Shockwave At The "Battle of The DJs" By RFL Sugar Skols

 

Sunday evening was one of the first events of the Relay season, the "Battle of The DJs," hosted by team Sugar Skols in the Bohemian Rhapsody sim. The event was well-attended by a good crowd.

Among those taking part was DJ Shockwave (Shockwave Yareach) of the Sunbeamers. The event host, Rafe Odinson (Rafe Grumpypants) would say, "This is Shockwaves second battle with us and we are honored to have the Sunbeamers on our stage again this year! ... I am so happy Shockwave agreed to battle with us again this year!!!! He was at the top of my list!" Speaking on his stream before playing his music, he would say he was DJ at the event "because I am sick of friends of mine dying." But he soon returned to his more jovial self by playing songs such as "Code Monkey." Someone would comment, "This had shock written all over it - hahaha!"

 

Rafe also pledged to match every Linden donated, "Every single linden you spend tonight WILL BE MATCHED!!! How does that work? Well, Nae and I will be matching every total at the end of the night to the home team of that DJ! Tonight that means The Sugar Skols, Sunbeamers, Hope Floaters and yes we will be donating to Belle Ame in Sal's honor as well!"

 

Shockwave would get third place, and his total alone was over 50,000 Lindens.

 On Saturday February 15, the Relay for Life in Second  Life officially started it's season. At Noon, there was a Kickoff event. While the Newser wasn't there, thankfully there was recorded footage of the ceremony. Some committee members were there, and encouraged the crowd. This included announcing there were 160 teams registered before kickoff, considered a record. 

There would be many events that weekend, Saturday and Sunday, among them Team Aurora's "Carnival Kick Off Party." The carnival games are presumably still up on Warblood Isle. 

 

 At 4PM was the "Battle of the DJs," organized by team Sugar Skols.

 

 Six DJs would complete, including the Sunbeamer's DJ Snowy (Skylark Lefavre).

 

 Snowy would win the competition, raking in over 100,000 Lindens during the event. 

 More stories on Relay events soon.

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!
