In the post entitled "Slideshow" that I made yesterday, I promised more
information on the event. Please note that this information is also
available at http://www.shoemakervillage.org/festivities.html. Here it is:

-----------------

On behalf of AWTeen's community, I'd like to welcome anyone and everyone
interested in Activeworlds to attend AWTeen's Inauguration Day, to be held
on Monday, July 29, 2002, beginning at 6PM VRT. The location of the event
will be announced in AWTeen at 5PM VRT, so feel free to arrive early to get
to know your neighbors :)

Inauguration Day marks the end of the third generation of AWTeen leaders.
The first generation, led by TheCheese, set the groundwork for the world.
The second, led by Cahalane and Brock, brought AWTeen to the forefront of
public building worlds. The third, begun on July 13, 2000 and led by too
many to count, has allowed AWTeen to become the largest community in
Activeworlds, at times surpassing AlphaWorld in popularity. On July 29,
Brant will resign as Caretaker of the world while Poseidon and Chanty take
over to continue AWTeen's tradition of excellence in public building and
community events.

The evening will start with remarks by Mountain Myst and other Activeworlds
staff members. Shortly thereafter, Brock, one of AWTeen's second generation
leaders, will return from obscurity to share his opinion on governing a
large publicly owned world.

Next on the agenda is the AWTeen Community Awards, which Brant hopes will
become a tradition to be continued by future leaders. The awards, which
will be given in a wide range of categories, will be bestowed upon those who
have assisted the AWTeen community in the greatest manner during the past
two years. In addition to public recognition, each recipient will receive a
free citizenship, citizenship extension, or world. These awards were
conceived as a small effort to give back to the community that has supported
its leaders through both good and troubling times, and will not be announced
ahead of time.

Following the announcement of the awards, Brant will share a few words on
the successes and failures of his tenure, as well as his hopes for the
future. He will announce some things that have never been discussed before,
and will share some parting words with the community.

One of the highlights of the evening will be an eighteen-minute slideshow
featuring close to 200 pictures of AWTeen's history, from its humble
beginnings to its present day community. The show will utilize never before
seen bot technology and be set to lively current-day music. From pictures
of prominent buildings to events and AWTeen's citizens, the show will have a
little bit of everything. Who knows, you might be featured!

The night's climax will occur when Poseidon and Chanty take the oath of
office as Caretakers of AWTeen. Following the oath, Strike Rapier will
utilize his fireworks bot to provide a light show of epic proportions.
Chanty and Poseidon will then discuss their plans for AWTeen's future in a
session following the inauguration oath. The end to this memorable evening
will occur as Brant symbolically logs out to end one era and begin the next.

Be sure not to miss this historic day in Activeworlds history! The location
will be announced at 5PM VRT on Monday, July 29. Hope to see you there!

By the way, I realize that this post is written in the third person - I
copied it from the website without remembering to change the point of view
:(
