As we close out an eventful year in Second Life, I have been reflecting on the tremendous amount of creativity and energy it took to organize the hundreds of concerts, fashion shows, art openings, lectures, classes, and so much more, just over the past couple of months that I've been covering events for New World Notes. It has been a pleasure attending a tiny fraction of these happenings -- and more importantly meeting so many cool residents along the way. Thanks to all of you who sent along event information to me or who answered my last minute questions.
Speaking of cool events, at
4PM from December 27-30, Khemical Stonecutter is organizing Kwanzaa Celebrations on each day of the African-oriented festival to honor the
principles of Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima
(collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
and Nia (purpose). Head over to Johu (202,23) to join the festivities.
Also upcoming this week: fundraisers for the Christian Children's Fund and the ASPCA, poetry writing, scrapbooking, and holiday blues, country and folk for your listening pleasure.
