No hawtpants??? What what what???

Hmph. I'm, erm, busy... washing my lekku, kthxbye.

okay...I've done this once before, and I do it only on very rare occasions, when the situation dictates it.

I will (AFTER the performance) let an Image Designer turn me pink. Fur and Hair, both pink. I will NOT wear those garments.
and NJ, you know you'll be there. You can wear Hawtpants when you're offstage.

Before we begin, let me start off by saying that I am a Ranger. I like Camopants and skinning animals, and I’m rarely seen inside of a city. Just so you know who this is coming from.

That being said, I am, in real life, a lover of the arts. I love festivals and stuff like that. In this regard, I was wondering how many people would be interested in organizing a massive role-playing extravaganza of the arts. Now I’m not simply talking about Entertainers playing music and dancing. I’m talking about personal, intimate expression, all done in a game. I’d like to organize an event complete with poetry, interpretive dance, short (1-act) plays, all done in a public place. I think if we get enough support going, we can ask Pex to coordinate and perhaps get a public location like the Vreni Island Theatre and have it decorated in a unique way.With the coming of Publish 20, entertaining has become more of a role-playing profession than it ever was before. In that vein, I really think it would be great for entertainers of all levels and even artistic people of other professions to get together and celebrate that artistic bond that permeates a lot of people.

I myself am a writer (I’ll be writing a poem for this event as well), so I’d love to get submissions of plays/poems/ spoken word, etc and be able to help get this event going. If there are any of you out there who are good at setting up musical performances/dance routines and are interested, let me know.

I know that there have been the Cantina Crawl events, but I’d like this to be a total experience for everyone, and at a location where many people from all over the galaxy could come and watch. Plus, it’d be a great spot to take pictures and meet lots of people. So let me know if you want to get involved, I’d really like to push this as a fun event, perhaps around the Autumn Solstice. I really want this to be an event to talk about for years, so I want to take the time to plan it properly.

I like the idea, but you certainly have your work cut out for you with that plan. It's a bit... ambitious


Do you have a particular server in mind? If this moves ahead and I can find the time, I'd gladly help, just on the off-chance that this might actually work

Well, I'm on Eclipse, and I'd love to do it there (I have a very dignified looking outfit I'd love to be able to use).

and yes, this is very ambitious, but that's why I'm trying to set it for a date a couple months off so I could get submisisons of poetry, some short plays, etc. If there is a server that is better, in terms of overall Entertainer population, I'd be happy to go there. Just know I'll need a Tailor to make me look spiffy again. Also, this would be a dressy occasion, so no H*tpants.

Well, I can tell you right now that the "No Hawtpants" rule won't go down well in here. Oh no, not at all

Well, that's ok, I'll just wear my other clothes on top of my hawtpants.

Eek! I don't *have* any other clothes!!!

(Sounds like a really neat event idea )

I look at it like this: nobody wears h*tpants when they're playing in the Philidelphia Orchestra (or any other orchestra for that matter). Certain events require a more dignified dress code. Plus, I figure if we pull off the main event, we can retire to another location for the afterparty and everyone can pull out their spandex shorts then.

I am also on Eclipse, and would be interested in participating in an event like this. Although I perform in a band on Eclipse (although many of the bandmates are dealing with real life at the moment) I'm sure we could pull together for a planned event soon. Contact me in-game (Godogo) when you have details!

so, of the people who are interested-- is anybody a writer, or an actor? I think it'd be great to set up a play that can be done with macro's. Meaning you pre-type the lines, and you add emotes in, and stuff. It's a lot easier than trying to have somebody type the lines out. Just remember when to hit a certain key...seems a lot simpler, in my opinion.

I think I may be inspired. I will have to see what I can come up with since the "Dead Man and the Rodian" show has been put on hold. Maybe some politicial satire...hmmm.

so long as it's playful political satire rather than something with more of an...agenda, I'd be happy to see it!

in-game politics are actually a great idea! So long as it's in-game politics, then I'm fine with it. I might actually allow black h*tpants, so long as you're satirizing the Emperor while wearing them.
