They took us into fantastic worlds: some amazing, some beautiful, some scary. Growing older, many of us developed an appreciation for new types of books or rediscovered the books we read long ago. Have you ever read a really good story or poem and were so excited, so moved, or so inspired you wanted to share it with someone? Then, this is the event for you! You can chat about the books, short stories, or poetry you've read recently (or long ago). There's no set text and no need to feel you can't come because you haven't read 'this month's book'... This is a casual, welcoming group and we'd love to hear what YOU are, or were, reading!"

Japan's Nuclear Fashion Disaster

SECOND LIFE Fashion and Music Industries explode with outpourings of sympathy for Japanese Tsunami and Nuclear disaster victims. Over 1,000,000 L$ raised on first day of Pacific Crisis Fundraiser for aid fund Americause.

In efforts big and small, SL grid wide, people are showing they care about the crisis. Artist Luna Larsen and friend Teddy Roxley in Picture 1 have created an exhibit of sculptures, cherry trees, and RL pictures. For example, one of Luna's sculptures depicts a bleeding heart with a Japanese flag. Luna offers a free sculpture to all visitors with prayer and meditation poses dedicated to Japanese victims and families affected by the disaster in Picture 3. On Luna's sim, a pictureboard shows Japanese house burning and fuel depot fire. See SLURLS below.

At Pacific Crisis Fundraiser (PCF)... It's raining people at the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser sale floor. 58 people in sim and still arriving in droves!!! Top SL Fashion Designers are flogging this issue hard and driving their customers to act. People are flocking into the sim to support the fundraising cause. PCF fundraiser donation box in Picture 3. Special thanks to fashion designers, bloggers, live musicians who donated wares, time, and advertising power to PCF events.

Luna Larsen's Japan memorial sculpture garden http://slurl.com/secondlife/La%20Triste%20Luna/35/24/22

Continuing through April 10, 2011, Pacific Crisis Fundraiser has raised over $1,000,000 Lindens for Japan Victims. Visit the sale floor http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/205/147/1004

The real story is how the fashion and music industries promoted the cause with SL blog lists such as http://metavirtual.us/

Excerpts from the blogs showing how they did it...

SL Fashion Designer "Carson" writes… "Now, it’s time we gave back a little. With the continuing tragedy still unfolding in Japan, many designers have formed the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser. All proceeds from the sale of the outfits donated will go to the charity Americares." Go to Pacific Island Fundraiser parcel and shop!

It's Only Fashion blog writes: "I want to take a moment to remind you that the donations are from the creators. If you are getting clothing at the market value at a charitable event, you are not donating, you are shopping. "

Even Linden Labs supports the cause... Support in SL appears unanimous: http://secondlife.lithium.com/t5/Featured-News/Support-the-Japan-Earthquake-amp-Pacific-Tsunami-Relief-with/ba-p/743743

Weekly Tank Rallys in New Bastogne

This March, the New Bastogne combat RP area has been holding a weekly event every Saturday: tank rallys. They’re held on a huge sky platform over the sim at (71, 199, 3001) from 3 to 5:30 PM.


The event will consist of two lap races on our combat course, using the free Blitz! tanks provided by Joe Sparrow of Astral Tek. The races will be live fire events. Each tank will be manned by a driver and a gunner. The main goal for each driver/gunner team will be to cross the finish line first, secondarily the goal will be to eliminate the competition before they eliminate you! This will be a no holds barred event! Blocking, pushing, and other aggressive maneuvers not normally sanctioned in SL racing events will be allowed! The course itself will be perilous, with tank traps, obstacles, mines and explosive fuel drums! The track will be open for practice for the month of March, and you are welcome to play anytime, just be mindful not to reset the gate while practice races are in progress.


Three models of small two-man tank are available for the race for free, the T1 Cunningham, the MA-1, and the VK 31 Leichttraktor. The vehicles are a little different, the T-1 being slightly faster than the others. German teams were free to take American tanks, and vice-versa.

The first rally went well, the first race the gunners having a little trouble shooting, so the winner was the one whom went around the obstacles the fastest. The third race was the quickest. The four tanks involved began firing on one another as soon as they crossed the starting line, and in less than a minute three were smoking wrecks. AngelBlue Xeno/Kenji Feiri won by taking out the others, including some top officers.

There would be a few more races, though none had a gunfire duel as intense as the third. Vickster Khun, the leader of the German Armee team and one of the administrators, took part in one race. Unfortunately, her tank was outfought in a duel. Climbing out of the smoking wreck, she grabbed a gun from her inventory and began chasing the other tank, firing all the way. But without her VICE meter, this was just funning around as the bullets harmlessly bounced off, and the tank went on to finish the race.


The tank rally takes place every Saturday from 3 to 5:30 PM at New Bastogne (71, 199, 3001).

Saturday March 19

11 AM Eppie Shoreman at Book Island
Eppie Shoreman returns to host this exciting new concept-event. I'll let her tell you about it: "For many of us, when we were growing up, books were our friends. They took us into fantastic worlds: some amazing, some beautiful, some scary. Growing older, many of us developed an appreciation for new types of books or rediscovered the books we read long ago. Have you ever read a really good story or poem and were so excited, so moved, or so inspired you wanted to share it with someone? Then, this is the event for you! You can chat about the books, short stories, or poetry you've read recently (or long ago). There's no set text and no need to feel you can't come because you haven't read 'this month's book'... This is a casual, welcoming group and we'd love to hear what YOU are, or were, reading!"
