Fantasy Faire ~ Getting There

• Fantasy Faire opened yesterday at 12 noon slt. There were shouts of "Welcome Home" and the regions very quickly filled with people streaming in to enjoy what many consider the quintessential event of the SL year.
• It isn't unusual for those who have attended Faire in past years to tear up when they first arrive. Fantasy Faire is much more than just an event, it is a feeling, a dream and a promise that speaks to the heart of each creator and attendee.

Welcome home, Fairelanders!

• Seasoned Faire-goers know the drill: pick a region from those listed on the official WEBSITE. Teleport to the region you chose and find yourself surrounded by wonders!  There are 18 distinct regions featuring every kind of atmosphere from primeval forest to industrial and from brightly colorful to foreboding darkness. More information about each region is HERE.

• If you are new to SL or haven't visited Fantasy Faire before, it is tradition to start in Fairelands Junction. Here you'll find yourself on a bridge suspended between trees. In frames on either side of the bridge are portals to each of the regions. Touch a picture that looks interesting and be whisked away to explore that area.
• Junction is also home to a candle-lit memorial to those who have been lost to cancer. Purchase a candle, type a short note in the form that will pop up on your screen and save it. Others will be able to click your candle and read the message. The candles will be sent to their owners at the end of the Faire.

• My look today comes from Poet's Heart and Les Encantades in the Fairelands.

Up on the Roof

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof, it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below can't bother me

~ Carol King
