As you can probably tell from the new “EVENTS!” link on the left and the poll on the right, we at Abbotts Aerodrome are keen to get some group activities happening. For the freefall fans, I’ll start by hosting a weekly skydiving contest on Saturday mornings. You can also look forward to seeing high-speed, timed build-offs, where contestants work to create the best plane/helicopter/jetpack/whatever in 30 minutes.
I got my start in SL hosting events, but back then the Lindens actually gave out L$ to hosts, believe it or not. They’d send you L$500 to organize and host the event, and another L$500 to give out as prize money. These days, I don’t need that kind of incentive to want to bring people to Abbotts. I’d like to get together groups of like-minded aircraft and skydiving afficionados for a bit of cometitive fun.
If you have an idea for an event or if you’d like to host an event yoruself, please feel free to IM your idea to me (Cubey Terra) or Arrekusu Muromachi. Be sure to keep your eye on our new Abbotts Aerodrome Events Calendar to find out what’s going on in Abbotts!
