Trailer Park

Trailer Park Dance

Today we had planned a special event and were very excited. We wanted to organize a Southern Rock Event in a trailer park. After the success with the Farm-Aid Festival last Friday and Saturday on the new redesigned festival place, we wanted to do another event here quickly and were looking for a matching theme. There is already a special atmosphere on the farm with the festival place between the wheat fields and our two Farm-Aid days were a great success. So we already planned to build a trailer park here at the end of the festival last weekend. But also the success of the "Amphitrite and Poseidon" event yesterday increased the expectations. We hoped that our trailer park would not fall into clichés and wanted an authentic place between simplicity and poverty on the one hand, and a joy of life and team spirit of a community on the other. I hope we succeeded and our guests would have as much fun as we had when we built this new place.

So it should be a Southern Rock party today, a bit cheeky and run-down, free but also sexy and a bit slutty. A life of outlaws, which makes the fantasy rollercoaster ride for many. An evening in a trailer park, somewhere in nowhere. No matter where the fantasy will take us. We were prepared and had set up the trailers, picked out real hot outfits and as always before an event the tension rises. 

How many would come and what would the guests do with this theme? And of course, this is always the most important question, what would our friends do with it? So we were there a few minutes earlier, and also the first of our friends came earlier. It is always exciting to see what kind of outfits they picked out. 

DJ Yui was the first and she started her stream for us a few minutes earlier. Southern Rock, she had put together a really nice and fitting set and from the first minute it really put us into this world between the trailers, garbage bags and beer crates.

And it was full on the fairground with the trampled ground between the trailers and (almost) everybody had put together wonderful outfits that fit the theme. So in the end we should have one more visitor today than yesterday. Fortunately there is enough space on the square between all the run-down trailers. We danced to the music, laughed a lot and talked a lot. It should be one of the most beautiful events we had in a long time. And if we look at the last three months it was the most visited event after the "Drive-Inn Theater". When you consider that the somewhat run-down Drive-Inn Theater and the Trailer Park belong to the same subculture, we should have more events like this in the future.

But back to tonight. Not only did it get crowded quickly, but many people came and we had 79 people with us today about the event. With the coming and going, there were 68 people together on the fairground at the end. With this we have outdone yesterday's day once again. And also today there was a contest. We opened it as usual with 1,000 L$. After more than 30 participants registered, we increased the jackpot again to 1,250 L$. But then an anonymous donation was added and we could distribute a total of 3,000 L$ in the jackpot. So it was again a special evening, because it is always a sign that an evening has been a success when we receive donations for the jackpot. Again, I can only say "Thank you" for the support we receive again and again, and the help of our friends.

Since everything had worked out yesterday, I wasn't really worried either. The checks on the board showed that the latency of the contest board was not optimal, but fortunately not worrying either. Especially with many guests and the high jackpot it is always dangerous. But since we also noticed in the last weeks that some guests are coming later and later and don't really want to join the party, we extended the time and waited with the voting. We closed the board at 5:45 pm and then waited another half hour. So we gave the board a little rest and sensitized the people. On the one hand to come earlier again in the future, on the other hand to be reserved when voting and to really click the board only once.

At 6:00 pm DJ Polpeta took over and played her stream into our sim. Even though all our guests were still there, we started into the after-party. Were the outfits already hot, it was now even increased. The first tops flew away and some of us danced topless now. And also the men got slowly warm and danced in shorts. At 6:15pm we started the voting, and as planned it went smoothly and evenly. Nobody wanted to provoke an abort and everybody followed the rules. Well, here in SL there are no distance rules, we partly moved closer together. But our guests really all clicked only once on the board and waited relaxed for the confirmation. Maybe that was also because we had remixed the schedule for some of the contest jumpers and they couldn't attend two events almost at the same time. So they could also wait in peace and quiet at our place. Shortly after 6:30 pm we had collected all the votes and had 53 votes. 

To be on the safe side we waited one more cycle and then said goodbye to our guests. After the payout of the profit shares the first ones left, but there were more than usual. And some guests even came especially for the after-party. We celebrated for another hour. Then it really got hotter as some danced naked, and the men didn't let themselves beg for long and also offered something for us to see. 

Again can I only say thanks for all who following us and make such events awesome and unique.

We moved even closer together and enjoyed this wonderful evening. Once again there was a lot of praise for the trailer park set. We will keep it over the summer and are already planning the next events here, be it Metal, Punk or Goth. There are many possibilities. At the end of August we will dispose of the trailers again or better put them into mothballs. Who knows, we will definitely use them again. But then we will need space for the big stage in front of the farm again and we will have another weekend to remember the legendary Woodstock Festival.

Bit by bit the guests left us and around 6:45 pm we finished a wonderful evening, which hopefully many will remember for a long time. A look at the group also shows the encouragement, our group now has 1,106 members. We had even expected a small decrease, but were positively surprised. The traffic value was with 9,310 again very high, for an event place. This also shows that we reach more and more people and maybe make SecondLife a little bit more colorful. But there is a difference between a club that is almost the same week after week and the challenge to present new events in different sets. That only works in a very good team.

There is also a Google Images Album again. As always I gave it away, so you can have a look and get an impression. Or, if you were there, maybe we took a picture of you. If you haven't been there, if you look at the "Upcoming Events", maybe there's something for you. But beware, our events follow all themes and you should already have a suitable outfit. And if your friends come along, you can even win something in our split mode contest.
