Erie Isle was voted SL's favorite place to roleplay in the
“SL Resident's Choice Awards.” The sim offers immersive role play from the frightening to the dramatic with elements of mystery, romance, combat and lust. The residents of Erie Isle frequently have special events of interest beyond the story line of the sim which are open to the public. You can find out about all the events at the Erie Isle calendar here.
On August 1st, at 9am and again at 6pm, you are invited to attend a special Erie Isle live performance of Maurice Sendak's book "Where the Wild Things Are." This classic children's book is about the adventure of a boy named Max and his encounters with mythical creatures. It is widely regarded as a masterpiece and was one of my personal favorites as a child. I am very much looking forward to seeing how the talented Erie Isle roleplayers adapt this wonderful book to the Phantom Theatre Company Stage. Join me there, won't you? In Erie Isle.

Event Submission Guidelines:
- Events for the coming week must be received by Tuesday Noon SLT.
- Include all the relevant info; day, time, and especially the SLURL to the event location.
- Please send related graphics such as screenshots or photo of the event site, if available.
- Events with artistic, cultural, scientific, political, creative, and/or educational value preferred.
- Events sponsored or promoted by real world corporations are welcome, as long they serve and entertain the Second Life community, and/or foster Resident-made content (live music, builds, scripting, fashion, games, etc.) Events that merely promote the company or organization's Second Life presence are not generally appropriate; you may instead consider advertising your event or service on New World Notes.

- Bonus consideration given to game-related or machinima events, and for events with "I've never seen that in SL before!" value.
If you'd like an event to be considered, send the description and event information via email to Chestnut Rau at [email protected]. Or contact her in-world via IM.
Thanks again for the link, Chestnut. Now everybody go to my new blog and admire its glorious wordpressiness.
No, I'm not trying to linkwhore here, and truly it's not all that spectacular—it's just another wordpress blog. But I had been hosting he blog on libsyn and libsyn is great for podcast distribution, but their blogging software is a horror story, so I'm still excited to be off that platform.
