Second Life's Caledon celebrates New Year's Eve across the globe
For those of you unwilling or unable to travel to a friend's home for a New Year's Eve bash, or too tired just thinking about holding one yourself, spend it in Second Life in the Independent State of Caledon! Beginning at 4 AM SLT (Second Life Time, which is Pacific Standard Time), and running right up to 1 AM the following New Year's Day, you can enjoy "Many Midnights", A Gilded Age Masqued Charity Ball!
The schedule of activities runs thusly:
* 4:00AM - 6:00AM SLT - Sydney/Melbourne New Year's Eve Ball
* 2:00PM - 3:00PM SLT - Live Charity Auction
* 3:00PM - 5:00PM SLT - London New Year's Eve Ball
* 8:00PM - 10:00PM SLT - New York New Year's Eve Ball
* 10:00PM - 11:00PM SLT - Live Charity Auction
* 11:00PM - 1:00AM SLT - San Francisco New Year's Eve Ball
The event hosts are donating all auction proceeds to "Gardens of Hope", an organization that builds greenhouses, tree nurseries, and more in Lesotho, Africa. These gardens are then used as a source of food, firewood, and income for several communities in this Southern African nation.
