Caledon's Battle of Wits

 

Last weekend, yours truly attended an event some might say was overqualified to take part in, Caledon's "Battle of Wits." This fundraiser hosted by the Relay's Team ACTS was supposed to be a contest between those on stage who could crack one joke and pun after another. Things didn't go quite according to plan, but it all turned out well. Perhaps not so much for some of the jokes. In this spree of groaners, it was a must to be oh=pun minded.

Pastor Dan's Talent Show

Have you ever heard professional singers in a music video or on stage and think "I can do just as good." Or maybe people have kept saying you can do just as good. Well, recently in Second Life, someone gave five women a chance to do just that. Each sang on stage in front of an audience and three judges. Besides seeing the performance, I had a chance to talk to the man who organized it, PastorDanT Resident.

Various Events Last Weekend

There were a few events going on last weekend that I didn't have time to write about in detail. One was the Newcomers Ball in Caledon.

The event would take place twice that day, 12 Noon and 7PM. The music was provided by Cynthia Farshore and Ms. Nyree Rain. There was plenty of dancing at the double-event.

The following day on Sunday November 17 at 12 Noon was the Raglan Shire Talent Show. The event was packed, with over 80 avatars present.

There were various acts from dances to live singing to scripted skits by bots that ended up exploding. Almost as entertaining were the reactions and gestures from the tinies in the audience. This annual event in the noted community is often videotaped and posted online.

At 2PM was the Aether Salon discussion in New Babbage. The topic was for writers interested in publishing their work. Unfortunately, I forgot to save my notes before teleporting away, and I crashed.

There's always something going on in Second Life. One just has to find it.

From Dec 21, 2018, Nitwacket's edited recording of the talent show the Raglan Shire community held that month. Like many other talent shows, some people showed great talent, while others, er-um. Not all the action, or music selections could be shown due to time constraints and Youtube rules about copyrighted songs.
