Hey everyone! We are having a 48 hour Spring Into Paradox - Celebrate Being Green Event! Wow, that was a mouthful!

More to be posted soon. But for now, make sure to save the dates and drop in to chat on Thursday and Friday next week to reconnect with old friends and hopefully make some new ones too!

I will definitely be there! Bells? Questionable. Hell, even clothes are unlikely. Whatever, I hope to see you there! :D

One thing that I will do tomorrow (or the next day at the latest) is to add a time zone converter up here to help everyone know what time the event will begin in their part of the world. Let me know what time zone you live in and I will make sure to have that included. I try to include all of the timezones that I THINK we have players in. However, I forget sometimes.

Looking forward to catching up!

This is the approximate beginning time of the event. It will begin right after intermission, which occurs at midnight Paradox time.
Remember that this is a 48 hour event, so visit long or visit often! Looking forward to seeing everyone. I have some hugs to pass out!

Also for at least the 15th, during my radio show, tune in, because I will be giving away Radio Items randomly, small contests, random chat rolls, the more people that show up and tune in, the better the blast will be for everyone :) So be sure to tune in :)

Speaking of which, I'd say there's an excellent chance of me doing a show at some point during the event. If I can remember how to use a microphone. It's just counting to two isn't it? TWO! TWO! ONE TWO! TWO!

I will be around as much as I can be during this event. However, I have an unexpected doctor appointment tomorrow. For those that know where I live, that means an hour to get to the appointment, an hour home, and however long waiting and possibly having to go to see another doctor.

I know that the chat event will keep running even in my absence as all chat events are truly teamwork!

Party on!!!!!!!!!

I have magic minutes set up too. The person who says something in chat closest to the "magic minute" will win a prize. The chat comment needs to be made within 1 minute of the magic minute in order to qualify. (Minutes are determined by MY chat log timestamp.)

My first "magic minute" was 7:29am. SodaFett won:
07:29:09 SodaFett: I just made my wife oatmeal... lol

Soda won a Candy Necklace! Congrats, Soda!

Eboli2x4 wins the second Trivia Question for a Radioactive Radio, the question was, Who joined Elton John onstage at Madison Square Garden in 1974 to perform the song they co-wrote, and what was the name of the song?
Answer: John Lennon, "Whatever Gets You Through the Night."
This was to be Lennon's final live performance.

So what was your original PID, Jazzy? I scrounged through both the forums and the wiki but never found it and logged off before the answer was announced?

I think I missed most of the event, but I did pop in long enough to at least get a shiny new t-shirt for my Showcase!! It was awesome seeing 10+ people in chat at once!!
