Buck Chave

Tomais and I met Buck, who is an old friend of Tomais', at the beautiful undenominational memorial chapel that Jak Calcutt built for last years Second Pride festival. 

We had come there to take a break from the partying and light a few candles for our lost friends and loved ones. The chapel is definitely worth a visit, you will find it here (SLurl). 

Additional Feedback

I already filed my response to the survey a while back, but today I sent in an addition to my previous responses, as I had come to the conclusion that I had not been specific enough in my earlier response. So today I filed the following addition.

What did you like best about the festival?

1. The lesbians were back - and I love it!
2. The parade is back - and I love it!
3. The wonderful serene Chapel
4. The beautiful builds
5. The event was extremely well organized with little or no confusion, the board members and their assisting teams did a splendid job.
6. Three sims worked great! The smaller area kept the space close and increased the chances of running into old friends and acquaintances.
7. The sims were restarted every day which mostly kept lag at a reasonable level.

What suggestions do you have for the 2015 Second Pride Festival?

1. I would like to see a new beginning for the Names Project, i.e. the so called AIDS Quilts. It is not acceptable that whether or not donated quilts are displayed or not is dependent on an individuals whims or requirements. This is something that Second Pride can and should do for the LGBT community.
2. Try to get a few more live acts, I know there are singers and musician who would love to take part.
3. I always loved the plays that Marcus Steeplechase and his buddies enacted during Pride, it would be wonderful if we could get something like it back.
4. Poetry readings perhaps?

Please don't get me wrong, I love the DJ's and the parties but options should be provided to a greater extent, the community is diverse in it's needs.

Darn! I forgot to mention that I missed the combats between Gay Gor and Romanum from last years Pride. The people participating in that were a fun crowd and I had a great time watching and chatting there last year.

Overall, the Festival of 2014 was the best ever!

The Second Pride Chapel

Away from the busy stages and shopping areas the Build Director Jak Calcutt has created a little haven of peace and serenity where we can all visit to remember our lost ones for contemplating life and it's never ending caprices.

The non-denominational Second Pride Chapel is a beautiful build by master builder Jak as you can see in the pictures in this post.

Inside the wonderful little chapel there are candles that you can light in remembrance of a lost loved one. (Just touch a free candle and then write the name in local, without < or >, as I mistakenly did *sigh*.)

The chapel is located in the Southwest corner of the main sim or you can use this landmark for easy access Second Pride Chapel (SLurl).

The Second Pride Memorial Chapel

This evening I made a visit to the interdenominational memorial chapel at Second Pride.

It is an extraordinarily beautiful building placed close to the waters and is surrounded by trees. The wonderful place is unexpectedly calm and serene, considering how busy the rest of the three sims are.

At the back of the chapel there are two small tables, one in each corner, with candles that can be lit for a lost friend or loved one.

I was very pleased to notice that there were three candles already lit for my Ars and I lit a fourth. It also made me happy to see that Kris Mounier was still loved and remembered by someone, Ars always had a great deal of affection for that kind man.
