Traveling the Streams of Time

Last week was the official kick-off for the 2014 season of RFL in SL. This weekend, Aether Chrononauts Tiny Steps had its first event, the annual Time Travellers Ball! Held in Winterfell Reverie on an Aetheric Timeship, attendees danced to Nouveau Vintage tunes provided by DJ Otenth Håkon Paderborn.

What is Nouveau Vintage? It is a growing subgenre of music, where modern rock and pop songs are covered using arrangements and instruments from previous musical eras, including classical, big band-era jazz, American and European cabaret, and even a cappella. With selections from Max Raabe and the Palast Orchestr, 2cellos, and Scott Bradlee and the Postmodern Jukebox, Mr. Paderborn surprised and delighted the crowd with novel, playful renditions of contemporary music, perfectly in theme with the Ball.

Surrounded by objects for travel from various eras, including a galleon, a rocket and a blue policeman's box, today's travelers with ACTS set off on a Journey of Hope that will culminate in four months at this years Relay for Life in Second Life. We thank each and every attendee for their presence and support, and we hope that you continue the journey with us!

We Have Been Skunked!!

My dearest RFL captain,
We have recently become aware of an incident involving your team and that notorious villian known as 'Stinky'.
His foul presence will affect your team on the web until Mar 11 @ 07:55 PM.
In your box of kiosks and vendors you will find a de-skunking kiosk that may help, should you wish to remove this blight upon your team.
Good luck, best wishes, and GO RELAY!!!

Stinky has spotted us and thinks he is going to stay awhile.  Our best move is to send him home.  How do we do this?  In your fundraising kits and in a notice sent last night, you received a DESKUNKING KIOSK.  Rezz that and have folks contribute to that rather than the regular one.  Every linden gets Stinky closer to going back home! 

As Jennylynn stated last night and was relayed to the RFL of SL committee - we would like an award for being skunked and deskunking BEFORE Kickoff!   

The Story behind our Logo

A lot of people have asked about our logo, so here is the story behind it:

Aether Chrononauts Tiny Steps was formed from two teams, so the logo reflects that, with elements from both.

The first thing most people notice is the clock dial around the outer edge. This comes from the Aether Chrononauts logo, a group going back many years, which brings together communities from Second Life's Steamlands. Chrononauts are time travellers, so a traditional clock dial is their logo.

Inside that you find the paw prints, representing the Tinies. Our tiny steps are all part of the great journey to beat cancer, while the finale of each Relay season is the twenty-four hour track walk.

At the centre is a flower - more specifically a petunia. This season is dedicated to our friend and survivor Petuniia Resident.
