***For the past few months many SL musicians have played benefits at various inworld live music venues. The SL music community ... musicians, venue owners, and audiences ... have passionately supported the RFL fundraising efforts, performing at and attending gigs across the grid. On July 19 and 20, SL musicians will perform over a period of 24 hours, on four sims built especially for this RFL finale. The schedule, which can be seen here
http://www.rflofsl.org/?page_id=256 is filled with artists from many countries (Germany, Canada, Denmark, U.S., Italy, Mexico, Australia, ) playing music in a variety of genres ... rock, folk, country, electronic, swing, blues. You will find the SLURLS on the webpage that will take you to Shea Stadium, New Orleans, Sci Fi, or the Robinson Crusoe music sims. Additionally you can find the RFL gigs by using your SEARCH button at the bottom of your SL screen, then EVENTS, and then the Live Music category, they will all be listed by time and sim, and you can TP directly to the gig from that Events page.
IM Belle Loll (Live Entertainment Chairman) or Bourque Rau (Live Artist Coordinator) for more info

Some key places to be sure and visit-
***Shea Stadium http://slurl.com/secondlife/Heroes%2023/242/112/25
Shea stadium is a tribute to the Beatles and their first appearance in America.
The Build was made from observing photos from the web and from personal snapshots from friends who have been there.
It's about a 2/3 scale model, stands 62 meters tall and has a diameter of 128 meters, and is over 3000 prims including seating.
It was intended to be a music Venue and so far has been a very popular request by SL Artists. Nad Gough will kick of the party at Noon with a total Beatles set and some VERY special effects!!
WoodStock Burleigh built Shea Stadium for the Relay and dedicated it to Trader1 Whiplash, a great Mets fan for all he's done for the Relay For Life of SL over the three years it's existed.
He is one of the three Co-Chairs for the Design Commitee along with Tequlia Tapioca and Hamish Stuart and it has been the most wonderful experience of his Second Life!!
He has met the most dedicated and talented builders and stand in awe at their abilities and seen teams of 15 work 12 hours a day for 6 long months to create some of these builds! They can't be thanked enough!

***New Orleanshttp://slurl.com/secondlife/Heroes%2015/48/44/25
Set loosely with the idea of it being set at approximately circa 1900, the elements of the region are disparate. Since the theme of Relay this year is heroes, the region includeds nods to Marie Laveau, the voodoo queen of New Orleans, and Jean Laffitte, the gentleman pirate of New Orleans. Other elements incorporated are Mardi Gras, the Cajun and Creole cuisines of the region and reproductions of the French Opera House that burned in 1919 (Thank you, Khashai Steinbeck for this wonderful build) and the Popp Bandstand from New Orleans City Park, which still stands today, having weathered Hurricane Katrina. The Live event stage is down in the Bayou, with the audience finding themselves on rafts and boats to listen to the artists. Don't miss a chance to leave a wish at the tomb of the voodoo queen to wish all your loved ones well... especially those whose lives have been touched by cancer

***Inspiration Park is a place to dare to dream and reflect on our future without cancer as you float amongst the planets, stars, nebulae and asteroids!Friends Fighting Cancer for the 2008 Relay for Life of Second Life.

"Let's build a place where people can dream of a future without cancer……”Built by a prosperous, space-faring humanity in the year 3017, Inspiration Park is a celebration of the spirit of exploration. In commemorative displays, they have looked back to the dawn of the space age to pay tribute to the heroes who have made possible their exciting and idyllic lives among the stars.
