Fundraiser Beach Party at Boots' Gay Beach!

Of course, this is after the fact, so I won't be able to get people to come via this blog (not that anyone actually reads it), but yesterday Alex1 Richardson organized a fundraiser for Lift the Ban SL, an inworld organization that supports the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which provides legal support for members of the US armed services who are kicked out for being gay or lesbian.

The fundraiser was a great success -- the sim was almost full, we had a great party at Boots' Beach, and raised over L$43,000, all of which goes directly to SLDN. Way to go, y'all!

The event was scheduled from 1-3pm SLT on Saturday, and of course money transactions went down, so it was extended for an hour. That, plus so many friends came by, including my good friend and fellow DJ Raven Skall and our good friend Estragon Quintus from Dublin, that I just kept on going with the songs and choooons until after 8pm -- over 7 hours of DJing, a new record for me!

In the unlikely event anyone wants to see the playlist from this event, here it is. (Probably no one will, but I'll post it anyway as I'm a compulsive listmaker and completist.)
