Second Pride 2025 – It’s Time!
As I type this, we are 30,085 seconds from the start of the opening party for Second Pride 2025. Are we ready? Unequivocally no. Are we going to do it and have an amazing time? Absolutely yes!
We’re doing something different this year, and that is using multiple stages at the same time. Could this backfire? It could, but we an overwhelming response to performer signups this year, and it just seemed like the right time to run the multiple stages that we’ve had all along…concurrently. What does that mean for you, coming to enjoy the festival? Choices. In many, but not all, timeslots, there will be two choices of entertainment. There will be a performer on the Pride Park Stage, but there may also be another DJ on the Beach Stage, or a live singer at Dim Sum Gardens. Please don’t get hung up on the “I have to be at the main place” mentality. ALL of our performers are amazing and are giving their time freely, so jump around. Spend some time at the other venues and take in other acts. You may discover some places and sounds you haven’t seen before! We even have maaayyyyybee six slots left if you know a performer that would still like to get in on the fun!
Another thing to note. The stage is going to look really weird if you don’t have “media” enabled in your viewer. Ideally, set media to autoplay before you arrive, unless you just want to see three really BIG “play” buttons on the stage…LOL. Please, if possible, also use our shared environment. It’s simple but clean full day cycle so that our day parties are in the day and our night parties are at night. We recommend you use the latest release of The Firestorm viewer or Linden Lab viewer. They have both been well adjusted to work on even older computers now.
One place we are coming up short is filling the stores. In recent months, even years, it has become increasingly difficult to get designers to participate in events. Not just ours, but even regular shopping events. We have a significant number of shops available, so if you or anyone you know is interested, hit me up or have them hit me up. We can get you moved in TODAY before the event starts.
We could also use a few more people on the Ambassador team. Being an Ambassador requires a real commitment. Multiple hours, multiple days, and a variety of time sensitive tasks. If this sounds like something you can handle contact Mara Caitlyn or myself in world or on our Discord.
The schedule starts at Noon, but there will be opening remarks around 11:30 or 11:45. We hope to see you at Second Pride TODAY. Let’s see if we can get 200 people onto the regions for the opening party. It’s been a long time since we broke a record…maybe today!
There are 27,339 seconds left now!
