Independence Day, Grand Constellation Re-Opening Party!!!!!!!!!

Computer, begin log, 4th July 2011.

Today was Independence Day, a holiday celebrated by those who live in America. Due to the scheduled re-opening on Constellation sometime in July, the FADM thought it would be nice to make these two celebrations coincide. I was late back from DS19 so I had to leg it to constellation so that I wouldn't be late, of course once I arrived I made sure everyone knew of my blight.

 We all gathered in constellation, behind the red tabe to wait for the Admiral to do his speech. He of course was late like any Admiral would be.

Sereana thought she would take the time to get in mood and show off her musical talent, if there was any! *winks* But anyway, we were still waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

Commodore Matova stood and conducted an impromptu speech and cut the ribbon, so that we would not need to stand there all night!

         

It was, of course a free-for-all, who could get to the dance floor first? I had my bet of Gokyu, but he fell behind and lost the race to our very own Phedre Aionfall!!!

The Party began. We had an amazing band "ZZ TOP" so we all decided to slap Gokyu's head so that we could all dance in synch, it worked wonders. We were dancing all night, we watched the sun set, then the sun come up again, and some say they saw it set AGAIN!

YAY! The admiral arrived during the festivities and joined in the fun. The SIM reached a whopping 50 persons at one stage with people coming and going I personally reckon we had around 100 attendees.

WELL DONE GFC!

Lets say a thank you to the Admirals who run and pay for this SIM, without them none of this would be possible. And also a thank you to TimoL McMillian who headed the re-build of constellation.

THANK YOU!!

Below are some of the many GFC personal who joined in the fun!

4th Party

Greetings Readers

G-Man here

Well yesterday was a pretty exciting day here in GFC. We had the Grand Re-Opening of the sim Constellation. It has been re-modeled and we have a brand new Galaxy Market with all the latest in technological advances. It's a wonderful new "open" air market and definitely deserves a look. Anyway after the ribbon cutting we held a "ZZ TOP" concert that was really awesome! I know that one of the other bloggers here plans on a more in depth report on this so I will just say it was a fantastic concert that we managed to pack 50 people into, along with all the fireworks. A record I think, or at least close to it on the number of people in a sim.

After the concert was over, everyone wandered off to do whatever it is they do in sl. And being a holiday in the US. i'm sure alot of people had plans in their real lives for the day. So the sims pretty much quieted down for the day. Later in the evening as I was wandering around looking for something to do,  I stopped by the sandbox in Aeon to see what, if anything was happening. Was pretty quiet except for Thomas and Dustin. I asked if there were any plans for fireworks later in the evening and Thomas jumped up and said let's do some now. And that's how our "little" impromptu party began. Thomas brought out some fireworks, Lillian stopped by and threw out a dance floor. I even brought out the "old" Gokyu and dressed him up for the occasion.

Some pretty colorful characters stopped by for our little party. Uncle Sam himself made an appearance.




One of our Resident Vulcans also stopped by and put to rest the question of "Can Vulcans Dance?" It seems they definitely can as Sodak definitely showed us some of his "moves".

K, our Sigma Squadron leader dropped by and added a few more fireworks to our showed and made it even more awesome!

So all in all, a day that I thought would be relatively quiet and un-eventful, turned out to be one heck of a impromptu party! Fun was definitely had by all, and it was a wonderful way to end the 4th of July for me. It also goes on to show that just because nothing is scheduled here in GFC, doesn't mean that "nothing" is going on. Events happen all of the time, whether it's a 4th party, or a group of people shooting phasers at drone targets in the tactical sandbox. Or something even simpler as a small group of friends sitting around and talking about their adventures in this wonderful place we call SL. So if your ever having a day like me and looking for something to do, drop on by the sims here at GFC. You never know what you may find. Below you will find a link to some of the other pictures I took at the party. I hope you enjoy them.

Until next time
