And a plea for help!

We need Greeters! These are residents that will meet event attendees and say "Hi," direct them to the dance floor, and be prepared to explain the event. Some will also assist the stage managers with keeping the party going.

Speaking of which ... We need Stage Managers! Contact Bourne Denimore if you'd like help corral DJs, make sure the streams are set, and generally party!

If the party gets out of hand, we need Community Relations Officers (security). Contact Rails Bailey if you'd like to beat up griefers help out. Well, it is more than that but you get the idea. If you have to deal with "characters" and griefers anywhere, this is a good learning experience.

[Yes, I own up to the crossed out text above. It was a poor attempt at humor and an insensitive choice of words on my part considering the nature of the event. Since the person who noticed the issue chose to not notify me directly but rather remark about it on a part of the MySL forums I cannot post to (they've locked comments on their profile (and they don't show in Search) I'll assume that they wish to remain relatively anonymous but I hope they check back to see I'm expressing my gratitude for catching this folly. If anyone sees such hypocrisy, real or not, intentional or not, please feel free to use the comments section of this blog.
