Fantasy Faire 2011

As some of you may know, inworld I’m an evil Drow Lord with minions working for me, plotting world domination and fighting the forces of goodness …well that’s not quite the story but don’t believe Tweets from people like Lady Sakai or Constanza Amsterdam who describe me as a sweety! I’m a Lord dammit! Anyway to this end, I’m very interested in the Inworld Fantasy Faire event, it’s also linked to good causes and of course, should be good fun and although it doesn’t start until April, I thought I’d post a heads up now. Although I’m not involved at all in organising this event, I do have notecards and information, so feel free to IM me for the info.

I was handed this notecard inworld, by an Elf as it happens, my chief Elf as it happens, and here are the details from the notecard:

the spirit of hope

The Fantasy Faire this year is offering the following opportunities for advertisement.  This is an excellent opportunity to get your business, or someone you know, seen at the Faire. All donations are for the Relay of Life in SecondLife for the American Cancer Society.

Advertising on a themed sim is $L2000 donation per ad.  Only 10 advertising signs are located at the TP entry / landing point to each sim (listed below). The sign will be touch enabled to pass over a LM to your business or handout a notecard.

All textures need to be 512 x 512.

At the bottom of this notecard is the section for your name and your selection of advertising.  Please fill out this notecard and drop it back to KATE SAKAI.  To assist with your application please embed a full permission logo and LM as well.

This is on a FIRST COME basis so I will contact you with payment information after it has been assigned.  ALL payment is going to a dedicated avatar (so do NOT drop payment to anyone else) who will then make a donation to the RFL. (All transaction histories are available for examination on request and will be sent to RFL.)

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  All IMs come to my email so I will be able to answer periodically throughout the day.
