THANKSGIVING WISHES TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!!

People in the USA are celebrating thanksgiving today, and will be indulging in making merry with family and friends. We all at Tribe wish those celebrating a wonderful time with their friends and family.

For those unsure what Thanksgiving is.....

Here is the Wiki entry for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. The Thanksgiving Day service is held annually at the Pieterskerk in Leiden. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621. The Plymouth celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that became the United States. The celebration became an important part of the American myth by the 1800s. This Thanksgiving, modeled after celebrations that were commonplace in contemporary Europe, is generally regarded as America's first. Elementary school teacher Robyn Gioia has argued that the earliest attested "thanksgiving" celebration in what is now the United States was celebrated by the Spanish on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida.Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Wunderland Records in cooperation with Hermes PPMM and the Live Entertainment Music Awards are pleased to announce the release of the first annual Second Life Christmas CD. A collection of Second Life Entertainers produced for your enjoyment and to serve as a fund raiser for Toys for Tots.
Toys for Tots began in 1947, when group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles, California collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. For over the 62 years the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program has distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million needy children. This charitable endeavor has made Toys for Tots the unchallenged leader in looking after less fortunate children at Christmas. Over its life span the Toys for Tots has supplemented local toy collections with more than 81.3 million toys valued at more than $487 million. It should be noted that 100% of all Lindens donated for this star studded CD will go to the charity. Sales reports are updated every 24 hours and can be viewed at http://xmas09.lema-awards.com/

Containing 50 artists the CD spans all genres and cultures. It is no secret that the entertainers of Second Life are mighty givers and when called upon for this collection of your favorite Christmas songs they delivered in championship form.

Your 500 Linden donation will deliver to you a Second Life CD that is unparalleled in quality and entertainment value. With nearly 4 hours of music the Second Life Christmas CD will not only tickle your ears it will also help a child smile on Christmas morning and from the perspective of the entertainers that submitted a track for this CD that is priceless. Along with the CD every donor will receive a Hermes MP3 player/radio (75 stations) a limited edition Jukebox and a "how to note card".

After rezzing the CD please copy the contents to your inventory, then PLEASE read the note card. Those needing support to get the music rolling can contact anyone at Wunderland Records or SLevolution. Please allow the entertainers to do what they do best and do not contact them for support.

If you are a venue owner, a store owner, an entertainer or your just someone that wants to help with this fund raising effort and you think you can make a difference contact me and I can provide you with a low prim single object vendor. Your support is wanted and needed.

In closing let me say, because it should be said, that during the 60 days of producing this CD all the entertainers were professional and easy to work and play with. Their level of talent never ceases to amaze me. I am very proud of their efforts and want to thank them for letting me be a small part of the Second Life music community.

Merry Christmas!!!

Sincerely,

Pat Wunderland

THE GREATEST EVER USER INTERFACE!!

WORLD BUILDER is a superb short film about a strange man who builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.

This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.
It is superbly creative and I really enjoyed it...I hope you do to :)

The Machinima of Lyric Lundquist


A
New World Notes post brought
this SL Machinimatographer and her edgy work to my attention. Her work is without doubt some of the most intriguing and absorbing machinima that I have come across. Describing herself as a machinima maker/transitory art lover/dreamer (SL Profile), a description that certainly shows in her accomplished work. Not for everyone I know, but check it out.

OH THE PLACES WE GO!!!



It's nice to have friends but it's nicer to have friends that show you places that are cool and interesting to visit. I must give due credit to Blu Jupiter for finding this ever so lovely place! There seems to be something magical about winter wonderlands and especially for those of us who rarely if ever get to experience real ones. Winter at Never Never land is certainly no exception. If you want to just go and soak up the atmosphere you can relax by a cozy fire or if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, grab a pair of ice skaltes and take a spin around the pond. There 's even a sled if you are more into sharing the icy cold with someone . My personal favorite: a snowball maker!!! I have challenged both Drift and Blu to a snowball fight...we'll see which one of them has the NERVE!!!

For the romantic in you, grab your sweety and go for a whirl around the dance floor surrounded by glistening snow-covered trees and stars that twinkle in the night and then afterwards for a cuddle beside the fire. There a quaint little cabin with mistletoe JUST inside entrance where you can surprise someone special with a stolen kiss.

Hope you all enjoy Winter at Never Never Land...even the name promises something just a bit magical!!!
