Antique Square and SL9B

Have you heard?  This year's celebration of Second Life's anniversary, SL9B, is run for residents, by residents.  Aptly, this year's theme is Community.

Thaddeus and I have sent in the paperwork to apply to have an exhibit for Antique Square at this exciting event, and for the past few days we've been hashing out our build plan.  I don't want to give away too many spoilers as to what we've got planned, but I will say that we plan to call the exhibit, "In the Good Old Summertime".  I'm hopeful that it will be get attention of people who may not otherwise have visited Antique Square before, and that it will provide the kind of unique and unforgettable experience they'll be talking about for a while to come.

But we could use some help from you.

One of the most fun aspects of SL Birthday events is finding the best freebies.  In addition to just being a great find, a freebie for our exhibit can be a great way to introduce your products to a wide audience.  It lets people know what your shop is about, and what kind of goods can be found at Antique Square.

If you're interested in contributing a freebie prize for the exhibit, please contact me (either as Mistletoe or as Clover) or Thaddeus.

Additionally, when the festival is on (the week starting of June 18th), we would love to have our own people present at the exhibit, in appropriate attire, making guests feel welcome as they stop by.  After all, the theme is Community, and we want people to see what a friendly and inclusive community we can be.

Want to sneak a look at the work in progress?  You'll have to ask me inworld.  Like I said, I don't want too many spoilers just yet!
