COTM July IR/Birthday Party!
Just a note about a past Sunday event "Who Wants to be a CC-illionaire" held HERE in the IR colony - hosted by Hi-Tek. We didn't stop til well after midnight. We were all so tired even WE didn't know who won what, until the next evening when we finally came to semi-alertness once again. LMAO The list of winners was quite long, but all winners should know who they are by now..... after all, "da check's in da mail." *G*

This next event, the birthday celebration, was a multiple events marathon and LSS and Play did an outstanding job!

Pots of coffee flowed on this one, folks, as you have read above there really was a long list of winners and ...whiners. My self being a winner of course!

Finally: A special thanks from Inner Realms to everyone who has contributed to our COTM and/or 8th Birthday celebration!

All in all folks,, this reporter had a lot of fun at most of the events I attended! Staffing for this month long event and special birthday was more than awesome, it was a well-oiled, cooperative event which went smoothly despite the long hours spent putting this event on! I have to say leadership when well and even when Mickeyw complained about all his money being given away, the more it made players and participants want his money more! I believe with the amount of hair he was tearing out at the Birthday bash, don't be surprized if you see him wearing a hat to cover up the many bald spots he had! Rofl Okay, that is about it for me, as the Editor once again has his trusty white-out and large eraser out, ready to pounce on the many words that he may feel should not be in this!

One last thing. Many thanks to LSS and Playinby for the efforts put into this event, thanks to all other colonies and hoods who stepped in and helped fill the days up with great activities. My rating of this event?: Ten Stars
