A bunch of people who worked hard while I cheered them on (and sometimes simply watched!) - they did it - made their goals, surpassed them even - and made virtual history - raising real cash for a real cause that touches everyone
From the site: "Back2 Reality is going to be a Charity Music Performance held at The Imperial-Royale, Oxford, UK - August 3rd 2008
Featuring Live Music from eight of SecondLife's Premium UK and European Acts and it will also be streamed (Music and Video Feeds) into two of the Major Live Music venues within SecondLife itself.
Music selection will range from Pop, Soul, Hip Hop, Electric Fiddle, Folk, Jazz, Rock and Ballads
Money will be raised from Ticket sales and donated to
Drake Music provides opportunities for disabled musicians of all ages and abilities to explore, compose and perform music and brings together disabled and non-disabled artists. We do this through the innovative use of technology and by creating new ways of working and making music."
Have decided to branch out here since I'm not using Stumbleupon the way I'd started out - having been sidetracked and much more actively involved in Second Life - it's really all about the music but the building is great fun as well.
Do we keep forgetting history so that we repeat it over and over and over again? Atrocities, brutality, persecution - highlighted in this video - when will we ever learn?
