A Happy New Year!
More than ten years have passed since I celebrated a new year at Edo. My house was situated just next to this Kanda Shrine.
As a chief of Edo Me-Gumi (everyone was a chief though), I was working hard as a guide for guests coming for New Year’s visit to a shrine. It was possible to dedicate votive pictures with snapshots that the guests took. This could be only possible at Edo which has ample usable prims. At that time there was no sculp structure, so the above Kanda Shrine could have more than 8.000 prims.
The Edo 12 SIMs were opened the year before. It was a huge structure that contains the Edo castle using 4 SIMs only for it.
The EDO 12 SIMs at the start. I made this map to guide guests to any place. The five-story pagoda was moved next to the Sensoji Temple later and the Edo Musium was built at the vacant spot. The row house with rent of L$30 was not built yet.
There were festivals once a month. Not only live shows, there were many various ideas. The sponsor a company Second Core, Core Planning in RL, was kindly providing abundant funding.
The live shows were full-fledged ones with professional singers and talk shows.
There were interesting free goods at every festival, such as flying golden dolphin, a full-scale portable shrine with many foxes holding it, or Chinese-noodle-bowl-shaped bike at noodle eating contest (the prize was L$10,000!). Far away, there is the new Tokyo tower that did not have the name yet.
There was a joint marriage ceremony. The married couples were provided with a free house at Edo. One of them was a couple of Toshikiho and 465Jun who became my best friends later living in the house next to me. They are a family of six, and kindly treated me like a family member.
I signed up for the Me-Gumi soon and got a company housing next to the Kanda Shrine. Me-Gumi is a fire brigade at Edo, but did firefighting only twice. Daily jobs were to circulate the Edo 12 SIMs, to guide guests, to return uncontrolled objects, to report persons living without authorization, or to advice couples to use IM when doing private action in a row house. ^-^ I wrote weekly report describing daily activities and joined monthly meeting, was working hard to be worth my salt.
Thank the officers for making various events every month. There was liaison conference every month at RL, and a representative from Me-Gumi also attended.
At that time, I was living next to the main stage, so it was easy to commute and to realize whenever guests visited. There were several sightseeing groups from overseas. My interpreter skill was effective for that.
The prizes for monthly events at Edo were not small. As a company, the amount was not so serious but the labor for planning and managing should be important. Thank you again!
About one year passed and it became somewhat stagnated. SL passed its first peak and was getting down at that period. The guests at Edo tended to reduce.
It was called a festival but actually it was a kind of a year-end party for Edo officials and residents. But it was really joyful one.
At the spring, there was the first anniversary. Also, this was rather not a festival but an inner party. The finale was fireworks as usual, but this time hand-held firework tubes for everyone. Someone started to shoot horizontally and made a joyful mess. As a result, this was the last festival at Edo. Next year, the whole Edo SIMs were closed. That was the end of the best days of SL, and many corporations moved out. SL hit the second peak after then though…
This is a Bon Festival Dance held in the final summer. Comparing the huge Edo SIMs, the site seems a bit lonely…
For myself, the Edo was my vernal years. How should I do if I were going to be kissed? Shall I close my eyes? What shall I do in case I were proposed? How would I do if I were attended an Off-site meeting and met some cool guy and asked to see privately? I dreamt of so many cases but none of them came true and time passed… As I wrote before, now SL has become a place to build something, not to do anything using it. The mesh bodies or animeshes are popular now, but I wonder what they do using them? I wish this year will be a new and good one for SL.
