With only a few days to go before SL’s third anniversary celebration is due to open, the builds are being finalised. Now, of course, it’s all coming out of the woodwork at the last minute. Community showcases, speeches, music – half of it’s still not locked down. Waiting on you, folks. Help us out. Time is short.

In the meantime, here’s Torley and I being menaced by a giant bear. Yes, that’s a giant version of one of my signature bears, brought to rampaging life by Shawk Pertwee.

If you want to be a part of SL’s third birthday celebration by showcasing your community, now is the time to get things moving. There’s not a lot of time left.

Contact Gonta Maltz or Spiderkitten Mirabeau who I’ve got working on liaising with the community showcases.

If you’re a DJ or live musician and want to strut your (PG) stuff at the party dome, contact Spiderkitten Mirabeau.

I’m not actually doing all this celebration planning and organisation single-handedly. I’ve put together a team of people.

• Torley Linden I’ve got running hither and yon for me, doing all the lindeny things that I need done.
• Mera Pixel is the site boss. Organising the main SL-ebration site, and the builders and scripters who will be working on it is her task.
• Mimi Thereian is handling parade organisation.
• Gonta Maltz and SpiderKitten Mirabeau are handling liaison work with the community showcases, and some marketing and PR. SpiderKitten is also trying to organise DJ’s and live music for the big dome.
• Amalthea Blanc is handling the resident art/sculpture display which will occupy approximately a third of the SL-ebration site.
• Kai Sachertorte is trying to line up our historical talks.
• Tao Takashi is minding the calendar, and the video showcase.

Me? I’m taking care of organisation, direction, vision, signage, meetings, clarification, information, ridiculous dictatorial pronouncements and the development of duodenal ulcers.

Like a startup company, we’re all sort of mucking in wherever there seems to be a need.

Later there will be many more people to thank.
