It was fantastic to see the new year in with friends, a lot of the crew came to join me at the main office as well as close friends like Pup Witherspoon and I am actually glad it wasn't a huge crowd at least I got to chat and have a laugh with friends. It was a lovely atmosphere with DJ Qwark playing 70's 80's and 90's music for us. We were counting down to the European New Year at 3pm slt but we ended up staying until we hit midnight GMT with fireworks on both
Then I was off to Skybeam Estates and the New Year ball the amazing DJ Dakota Christensen was on a mission to see in each new year around the world going from 2pm SLT through to 1am today so if you missed the party last night you can still join in at http://slurl.com/secondlife/SkyBeam%20Muse/204/44/24 Here was a real sense of community and I felt at home.

Later I popped into to the beautiful Roselindas Paradise with Rose and Eymerich Unfortunately not long after everyone finally rezzed my struggling computer finally gave up and crashed completely by this time it was almost 3am for me so I gave up. Thank you for the invitation Eymerich, I am sorry I couldn't stay.
I would like to thank all for making 2008 a great year and I look forward to a brand new year with lots of exciting challenges for us all.
2008 and has been eventful to say the least very firmly seperating the Lindens from the Residents with some VERY unpopular choices on the lindens part, my wish for 2009 is for Linden Lab to realise the damage they are doing to Secondlife and to act now before the good in SL is lost through mistrust of them.
I, for one, love secondlife as many I know do but now most stay for their friends and if large networks leave others will follow.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
