The Renaissance Festival And I Pink I Can

 

 

 This weekend, two events for Making Strides against Breast Cancer got started. One is the Renaissance Festival, taking place in a few sims south of American Cancer Society. The main stage is at Ren Fest 2, with live music events taking place. 

There's also tournaments, such as archery and swordfighting, and I saw one fighter practicing. 

There's also shopping, auctions, and the "Pillory the Lindens" event later this wee, Friday October 4 at 3PM SL time. 

North of American Cancer Society in American Cancer Society2 and 3, there's a Halloween-themed event taking place, I Pink I Can. A few days ago we mentioned the shops. But there's also a hunt going on, the Pinkula Hunt (as if vampires weren't scary enough already). 

There was also a "Halloween Dance Show" by "Kidz Dance" on Sunday.

Be sure to check out both events. The Renaissance Festival goes on to Sunday October 6, and I Pink I Can goes on to October 20.

Pillory A Linden (Or Mole)

 

While the purpose for Relay for Life fundraising events is very serious, they are often very fun. And when the Lindens and Moles get involved, there's often more fun to be had. Last Friday was the start of the Second Life Renaissance Festival, held to benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. One event that day was "Pillory A Linden (or Mole)." And many residents came by to see some of Linden Lab's finest get locked up and pelted with rotten fruit.

 

Read the story in Events. 

Missed The Pillory Event

 

As it turned out, we got the date of "Lindens at the Pillory" wrong, not today but yesterday on Friday. Things in real life have been busier than usual for me lately, and was occupied with things in real life at the time as well. So all that we have is this picture of the scene a few hours later with the stocks empty, and the rotten fruit on the ground all cleaned up.

On the plus side, the Renaissance Festival has been doing very well with fundraising. With this announcement soon after the event:

SL Renaissance Festival just hit $10,000 today and that was our goal! So of course we can’t rest there with 2.5 days to go. Our new goal is $15,000 !!! Woohoo! Let’s kick cancer in the pants and stick it in the pillars!!!!

Today and tomorrow are the last days of the festival, and the last chances to shop, get a raffle ticket, or attend a dance or other event.

At The Renaissance Festival (Joust a Linden Today)

 

The Second Life Renaissance Festival has been going on all week. In a four sim area next to American Cancer Society, various events have been taking place such as jousting (above), melee combat, and roleplay. But there's also been plenty of music events people can just drop in and dance. 

Besides the DJ events, there are also live performers. There was one late last night at 9PM by Dee Freund (Dilah Halostar), the "Grand Finale" that night. 

The Festival runs to Sunday October 3. Events in the final few days include jousting with a Linden or Mole today, Thurs Sept 30 from 12 to 3 PM. 

On Friday October 1, if you want to get back at the Lindens for something such as the lag or teleport crashes, you'll have your chance as several Lindens and Moles will be at the pillory. The pelting with rotten tomatoes and other less than fresh produce lasts from 1 to 3 PM. 

Saturday October 2 is also the day of the drawing of a raffle, the chance to create a new last name for residents to use (and the option to change your surname). The drawing will be 8:45PM SL time. Tickets cost 100L each, or 3 for 200L.

And for those looking for a game, there is the Queen's Quest. Somehow, someone stole her library, and there will be a reward for whom can get it back.

Correction: We originally reported that the Lindens at the Pillory event was on Saturday Oct 2. We apologize for the error.
