So far I'm waaay in the lead, but I 'spect dat'll change quickly. It's got two whole weeks for people to vote.

Also, the picnic an BBQ dis weekend? It went super. We had over 30 people for a bit, an everyone loved the fireworks (RacerX was havin' me test a new one, an it's super awesome). We also had a fun fun game of tag, an other stuff. My sis took some great piccies of the fireworks.

A lot of SL kids and their parents showed up, an it was really neat to see all the kids an parents there jes havin fun on the island jes like RL families. I wish I could put some of dat inna prim an hand it to people who say "icky kids!" an stuff.

While there, feel free to check out the island. All of Robin Sojourner's stores (The AV store featuring her skin and clothing work, The Broom Closet, and Kick The Can for child avatars) are located there, as well as her texture tutorial, library, and Wiccan learning center. You'll also find You Know... For Kids and Pygar's Stuff That He Made main stores, as well as Marianne McCann's herbs and plants.

Also, there are rentable (free) kayaks for exploring the island, a big playground, a swimming hole, drum circle, Neo-Realms fishing area, and other goodies to explore. There's even a few hidden surprises here and there!

The voting starts next week. now the hard part!

I'm still displayin' my piccies in Livingtree, 'til Sunday. I'll be having a family barbecue dat day too. More information on dat really soon. :-)

Wow, cool!

I had the opening for my art show on Saturday, an wow what a crowd! We had bunches of people come an see my work, which was really cool.

I tink I most got a kick out of how many people who visited, decided to put on their own kid avatar versions of themselves, and come to the show. Definitely not anything anyone hadda do, but still really nice to see that I inspired em.

I'll be there for about two more weeks, at Livingtree, and I'll be there purty frequently. I also rigged up a system dat allows you to hear a little bit of information about each piccie, too.

If you have ever had a misconception about child avatars in Second Life, please come and learn some of the reality behind why people would choose to be a kid in this world!
