In the near future (i.e. when I get back in world) Eacen and I are thinking of adding something to Drum circle to give it a little something more. That is, cultural-instrumental ambient music that compliments the drumming. Maybe something different each week. We will see how that works out.
There has recently been a redistribution of old and new additions to our activity lists, as we have had some people step forward to offer their help. I really hope some folks start taking advantage of that soon. The more the merrier!
I'm not just family-biased when I say that my Sister-in-law Lady Hawks Bard circle was really, really nice. I cried, actually. She has a good eye for stories that fit in our theme very comfortably, is a good storyteller, and it was nice to see a few new members bring their own contributions. I really think this is an event we have needed for a long time. Very suitable for our RP setting (whether you RP or not.) She is so awesome for doing it!
speaking of RP, I want to make a little commentary on it. So many people are so intimidated by it. So many people think it is all about politics and combat. I know we have been making an effort to make sure that is not at all the case, since these things clash with our setting quite a bit. I see people all the time who say they don't want to RP, or don't think they can, when they already are.
RP characters can be anything from a vast variation of yourself... (say a *centaur* for example) or just another facet of ourselves. Since so many of us take advantage of the opportunities SL holds to be something or someone else, we are by default, playing a role.
Even our tendencies as people to read books, watch television or see movies, can be looked upon as a vicarious form of Roleplaying. You are interacting with other people, a different world, and different stories through the format of the film, book or show. All Roleplaying is, is more interactive, more creative, and closer to your heart.
