In case you hadn't heard....

Oh, how could I play tonight
With what is going on?
Sorry guys, but really,
It feels a little wrong
RFL has started:
A cause both great and dear.
I can't be that cold-hearted
Get your asses down here.

The Indie-Rock for Relay For Life event is this weekend--a carnival and expo July 11-13, it’s a weekend long, sim-wide event showcasing what is going on in the indie music scene in Second Life. We will literally have some of the greatest DJs in the club scene spinning around the clock, constantly, to the entire sim, from 8am SLT on Friday, to 1am SLT on Monday.

We have amazing carnival games, displays for each club involved that made the event happen, a kissing booth, a dunking booth, a jail/bailout, and many other games and attractions. On Saturday at 6pm SLT, we’re having a concert featuring SL Flight of the Conchords, and on Sunday at 5pm SLT, we’re hosting a designer auction. 100% of all proceeds go directly to RFL.



So I'm grooving out at RFL and I check the map to see if anyone is over at the Velvet. Yes, there's about 5 people over there, so I pop over to let them know that there wasn't going to be a set and that most of the clubs were donating time and resources to the cancer-carnival and so I was there to pass out landmarks that they should have gotten in the notice anyway. This starts a debate on what people are looking for on Friday nights and they're pestering me with "Oh, is the set starting?" and so forth. Now, I'd already dropped $1000L on RFL (because what is a spider going to spend money on? Honestly, all the hats I wear have been gifts) so it wasn't like I was shirking from any kind of duty. Also, the owner of the Velvet and I discussed it and he said we may as well do the set, considering people had shown up and maybe someone wanted a break from what's usually played. So there was a sort of "secret set" that night and no announcements were made to advertise it--it wasn't even mentioned in the group's chat. I didn't even put out a tip-jar.

I'm still donating time to the AFL event on Sunday night, 9-11 SL time (that's Pacific), and if I can get my regulars to show up, I feel that's a good thing.
