Halloween at Common Ground








We had a wonderful Nonprofit Commons Halloween Party at Common Ground! Fab Boo costumes, friends, and awesome tunes spun by DJ LilTank! I continued my disco theme for costumes in Second Life by creating "Shining Star" to remind everyone that are one no matter who they are! ArminasX made my custom particle Nova to match my dress! You just can't have enough orange on Halloween!

The Sierra Club Sponsors Common Ground


A "green" themed night was full of celebration as The Sierra Club sponsored Common Ground to include the grand opening of their office on the Eco Commons. Gabby shared with everyone their mission and great freebies like the chance to plant trees!

The Common Ground Photo Op continues to be a fun element of the evening!

Shiny New Year





Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around, love them, love them
Put it in your hands
Take it, take it
There's no time to cry
Happy, happy
Put it in your heart
Where tomorrow shines
Gold and silver shine
- REM

We had a very Happy New Year party at Common Ground with our Shiny theme! Everyone enjoyed our new Photo Op, Photobooth, and Slideshow! Let's Shine in O9!

Seeing in Second LIfe




Ethelred, Ozma, and I myself spoke at the Nonprofit Commons Friday Meeting to encourage different orgs to sponsor Common Ground each week. It is a great setting for groups to share their mission and what real world impact they have outside of Second Life.
Then we had an amazing guest, the first blind avatar in SL! The folks from Virtual Ability were there to explain the tech to assist the blind in Second Life with a seeing eye dog. It was inspiring and thrilling!

Golden at Common Ground




With a Gold color theme, Common Ground @ NPC Plush was sponsored by Virtual Ability. Ricken Flow shared their mission ito enable people with a wide range of disabilities to enter into virtual worlds like Second Life®, and provide them with a supporting environment once there. He provided wheelchairs and dances for the "wheelies". It was a great night full of angels, supporters, and snow!

Yellow - You are my sunshine!







Super bright sunshine shone at Common Ground @ Plush NPC! Mel and Par stole the show with their outfits of mustard and a banana! Common Ground continues to be a place to connect with others and learn more about what nonprofits are doing in Second Life.

After the party, I thought I would take some shots of my new gown I made that afternoon.

Red Alert! Common Ground Rocks the Red!



Rose-colored glasses were not needed with everyone dressed in red with glee. Common Ground continues to be an excellent spot for networking, brainstorming, and merriment for nonprofit folks. We share stories, surprises, and sticks. Glow sticks that is!
Join us each Thursday night at 7 at Plush Nonprofit Commons. Find out the color theme to dress up and get down!

Polka


Kasper visited me at the Common Ground Party Plaza to check out my finished "Disco Inferno" Halloween costume. We decided to take it for a whirl trying out the ever popular Polka dance ball. Check out Kasper's shoes! They so hip it hurts!

Magenta



Lovely in Magenta! This one pixelated image of me with Ozma and Ethelred in the background got to me. They have been such a supportive team with Common Ground! Thanks guys! And, our DJ, Ricken, just makes each night so special and extra fun! I look forward to his set every week! Thanks Ricken!

Blue and Violet


Common Ground has become a wonderful place to show support of nonprofits and we have tons of brainstorming sessions while dancing away. We had to see how many AVs we could sit on our spinning light. Five! That's right! Five!
