Today marked the
Celebration of Life for Avacar Bluestar, hosted at the
Greymyst Estates, and broadcast over
SL Radio. SLebrity blogger
Ryce Skytower-Aquila and Avacar's widower
Ricogenu Bluestar also shared hosting and production duties. It started with a concert by singer
Phemie Alcott (which unfortunately I had to miss due to RL commitments) and then

a two-hour dance party with
DJ Thorn Andel and host
Esme Capelo.
I've been looking forward to this event for a couple of days and I wasn't disappointed. Ryce Skytower told me that they had raised more than L$60,000 for the
American Heart Association, which is a real achievement; congratulations to all concerned, including the donors.

Greymyst and
Izzy Greymyst supported this effort in more than one way too, and I'm sure Phemie Alcott did as well. I know they would all join me in thanking everyone who attended in such a good cause.
Avacar was such a popular guy -- I tried to take pictures as fast as I could, but I'm sure there were people who popped in and out without my having

time to document it. My apologies. It was a fairly large crowd of people who were there to have a good time in order to celebrate Avacar's life. It was a little eerie for me, who never met the gentleman, to hear his voice over SL Radio. I really enjoyed the set by Thorn Andel; it was cheerful and bouncy dance music, what I call personally "housework energy music". Just the

thing for a group of friends who were a little sad but all knew that most of all Avacar would have wanted them to have a good time.
If you'd care to make a donation to the American Heart Association on behalf of Avacar or for any other reason, you'll find them at www.heart.org/heartorg/.
