Those are some photos from this Saturday morning's Cosplay Weekend events, kicking off 9AM SLT. May 1st. This is the very first Cosplay event to take place over the whole weekend! Note Soni out of costume in the background. LOL. Hey, I had to run to the radio show soon afterwards. :)

The decorations provide the perfect scenery for COSTUMES! There'll be a contest on each day for the best costume: One on Saturday for female character costumes, and the second on Sunday for male character costumes, with a nice Linden$ prize for the winner! Every cosplayer may join the contests, so

-put together a nice outfit and come
-make snapshots with your friends in our brilliantly decorated street
-meet and chat in the teahouse
-roleplay your character a little
-DANCE to the great DJs

and most importantly: HAVE FUN!

May 3, 3PM SLT, Alice in Wonderland

"Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we've got." ---Art Buchwald

Humanity's greatest dream is to control time. Though science reaches for the goal, the suspension of time is most often achieved with the suspension of disbelief and the creation of a magical world. Within this space, time knows no bounds. And what better place to create a spectacular world than within Second Life itself?

So come join the Avatar Repertory Theatre as they delve into the most magical world of all worlds. A land spectacular enough to make time itself vanish into thin air. With sights and sounds bringing you into the experience, you'll never want time to return.

Are you ready to delve into this wondrous adventure? Are you ready to enter a different world? More importantly, got time?

Purchase Tickets for this show here: https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2271204

*This performance will feature Mickie Nikolaidis as Alice
