Qie Niangao Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Because there's to be a parade, silly! :smileytongue: And a MUSIC EXTRAVAGANZA. Which, now that you mention it, might be worth listing for the benefit of those planning their (next) weekend. Cribbing from a poster: 12:30 - DJ Marx 1:30 - JoeUSA Shelbyville 2:30 - Christov Kohnke 3:30 - Yaro Pinion That's not to mention the thrill of being in the presence of multiple Bay City residents, simultaneously!

Phil Deakins Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 In that case he ought to have posted somthing along the lines of, "Come and see the parade and enjoy the music events" because there's no reason that I know of to "celebrate" the anniversay of when a piece of land was created. In fact, I know of no reason the "celebrate" anything that Linden Lab does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's fine, and your choice to do -- but I know for those of us who live and work in Bay City, we're awful proud of our little part of the mainland, and like sharing our anniversary with the rest of the grid. We celebrate not only "LL plopped these regions down in May 2008," but their continued support of our city (several new mole builds are going on in the city right now, for example) as well as the works of our Residents. Plus hey - it's a good enough reason to throw a big party, yes? :matte-motes-bashful-cute-2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of Bay City's Third Anniversary, enjoy a music extravaganza in the Bay City Fairgrounds on the 14th of May! Performing will be Bay City's own DJ MARX (MARX DUDEK) from 12:30-1:30 p.m. SLT, followed by JOEUSA SHELBYVILLE from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Nova Albion's CHRISTOV KOHNKE from 2:30-3:30 p.m. SLT, and finally long-time Bay City friend YARO PINION from 3:30-4:30 p.m. SLT. MARX "DJ MARX" DUDEK (12:30-1:30 P.M. SLT) Sometimes-human-sometimes-bunneh is a DJ and owner of The Listening Room in Bay City Westside, an informal music-listening venue for all ages. Marx's clothing-and-gadget shop, Kerfuffle, is opening in Bay City soon as well." JOEUSA SHELBYVILLE (1:30-2:30 P.M. SLT) "I made a living as lead singer in show group, lounge groups, and playing six nights a week for 38 years. For 16 years of the 38 years I did a single act playing guitar, singing as I played bass and organ pedals with my feet. I do own a Fender Stratocaster guitar, Fender precession bass , an Electric Piano & Acoustic Yamaha guitar -- and I do play them all." CHRISTOV KOHNKE (2:30-3:30 p.m. SLT) "Hi, I love to sing and play the guitar. I play pop music of all styles from all ages. I play in real life and find playing in SL a lot of fun. I love to play lead guitar too so don't be surprised if you hear me soloing over myself using a looping device that I use to record myself in the moment and then play over that. I pride myself in all of my playing be live and in the moment versus pre-recorded in any way." YARO PINION (2:30-3:30 p.m. SLT) "Yaro Pinion has played the guitar since the age of 7 (for more than 40 years), but he has concentrated on the 12-string guitar since 1976. His live RL/SL guitar and vocal performances include Classic/Southern/Soft Rock and Country Ballads delivered with his very own unique beautiful, melodic picking style. Yaro performs live from his office/studio located near Atlanta, Georgia in the USA." Event held at the Bay City Fairgrounds in North Channel, easily accessible by boat, car, walking , or teleport, and the end location of this year's parade.
