Hey guys!

It's been a little while since our last official gathering, and with summer starting I think it's high time we had some fun! Some of your may remember our NYE Festival of lights, where we passed the light throughtout a very special holiday-themed Endless Forest, and I was thinking of an event along the same lines - one which will let us interact with the entire "In Forest" community.

Back in February, our friend Quamar held an awesome Gathering of Small Animals (GoSA) that was terrific fun. The idea was to have your deer transformed into a tiny critter (dove, bat, squirrrel, frog) and then to frolick about the forest. Our gathering would be similar, but with a twist - the tiny animals regroup at the many mushroom circles to get more transformation spells, and then turn all of the deer in the forest into tiny animals!

This will obviously require some committed volunteers to keep it going, so I am asking all of our Lightbringers for as much time and support as you feel you can offer. I was thinking of holding this on Saturday June 27, which will give us lots of time to spread the word. This date is not set in stone, so your feedback as to timing wil be much appreciated.

Let me know what you think - and keep spreading the Light!

When: Sunday April 19th, 2 pm, EST (find event time for your timezone here)

Where: We will assemble at Twin Gods Hill

Who's Invited?: You are!

What: A celebration of life in bloom and our connection to the Forest. We will wait for CelticMystress' signal, and will then follow her in parade fashion to the many floral beds of the forest!


Personal note - Yorres will not be in attendance, as I will be out of town for a week.

Check it out!

Well, it was a heck of a lot of fun, everyone! I was so stunned by the snow that I got NO pics of the mini-Abio (sorry!) - but here are the best of the rest of them:

CM once said Yorres is part candle!

Festival FAQ

Can I come?/ Who's invited? - Everyone! Be there!

What is this? - It's a Party! We'll commune around and about the Playground and give candle antlers (candtlers?) to every deer who passes by. Every hour, on the hour, we will all dance in celebration as midnight passes in each time zone. Don't forget to stop by the Twin Gods Hill to pay your respects and celebrate!

When is it?/ What time is that where I live?: The unofficial start will be 11:59PM GMT and will run until people stop showing up sometime in 2009.
Don't think you've missed out if you can't make the start time, as deer from every timezone should be popping in to ring in their respective New Years!

Your Friend,
Io Rez

UPDATE: 12/22 - OMG. I didn't want to say anything about this until I had some confirmation, but I contacted Michael & Auriea via email and they have given a tentative thumbs-up to making it be night time in the forest for the duration of the Festival. Cross your fingers/hooves!

Okay, it's been a little while since the last official LB gathering and we really should have one more get-together before the year is out. This will be our chance to get re-focused on our goal. As CelticMystress put it, "the idea is not to "individualize" us into a pack, but to unify with those in the forest that seem lonely!!"



SO - I'm throwing the floor open to all ideas for a winter-tyme celebration to be hosted by the Lightbringers. We only have a week or so, so we need to get cracking and spread the word (and the light).

Give us your two cents!

Hosted by: Blackhoof
When: Saturday, Nov. 29, 3pm Eastern US Time (2pm Central, 1pm Mountain, Noon Pacific)
11pm Moscow
10pm Frankfurt
9pm Berlin/Paris
8pm Greenwich Mean Time
6pm Buenos Aires
(11/30)4am in Hong Kong
5am in Tokyo
6am in Sydney
***Still need help? Convert to your timezone here.

Where: the Pond
What: Come as you are. Starting at 3, we'll try to form a traditional conga line around the pond. Then, on Blackhoof's signal, we'll all jump into the pond for nice swim! Deer will emerge "in the alltogether", and naked-deer wackiness will ensue! Possible events may include naked races (a.k.a. competition streaking), totally nude tree-climbing contests, a Revolution of bare-assed fawns AND MORE!

Don't Miss It! Be There!

Sorry there are so few. I was very excited and almost forgot to take pictures altogether!
