Weekend in Brief

 

 

 It was quite a weekend. Saturday May the 4rth saw the tenth annual Sunbeamer Air Show for the Relay for Life. Despite schedule problems, organizer Cynthia Farshore managed to get two squadrons to take part and during the music event with DJ Kayla and the Roos, it was announced that the Sunbeamer team had crossed the one million Linden mark.

The Fantasy Faire was still going on (and still has a couple days left), and other Relay events took place as well. No doubt there were some "Star Wars Day" and Cinco de Mayo events as well. Sadly there was also a death reported. Smoke Texan, one of the people behind a large 911 memorial had passed.

More on these stories, and more, later.

Weekend in Brief

 

 

 Saturday March 25 was the last day of the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference. Among the events were the closing ceremonies, in which the annual Thinkerer Award was given to Sheila Webber (Sheila Yoshikawa). The theme for next year was also announced, "Mythic Origins."

 

At one point, the staff told everyone, "We always have help from the bloggers who cover Second Life and virtual worlds. We held another Press Day this year, which gave them a sneak preview of the conference regions.

 

"I’d like to especially thank Bixyl Shuftan and Gemma Cleanslate of the Second Life Newser."

We at the Newser appreciate the recognition.

Some of the presentations over the three days were recorded. They can be seen in the VWBPE's Youtube channel. 

Sunday March 26 had Bay City's Food Truck Festival in North Channel, organized by Marianne McCann. For two hours, people danced to the tunes of DJ Gospeed Racer, some checking out the various food trucks. There were all sorts from taco trucks to portable bars offering just booze to zombieburgers. Presumably that last one was offering scrapple. 

What did you do this weekend. Feel free to send the Newser a reader submission of what happened with you.
