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!

UPDTAE 12/31 - WOW! Did M&A come through or what? Not only is it night in the Forest, but there are also GIANT candles everywhere - including a HUGE candle at the Playground and even a big fat candle inside the Great Oak!
This is Awesome beyond words. Thanks a million to M&A!!! I hope to see everyone having a good time tonight!
