Planning the VSTE Meeting with Cyrus

My good friend Cyrus is leading the next VSTE meeting, August 17th, for us. He is taking us on a tour of two popular Chinese sims, Mao, and Kowloon. The latter is one if his personal favorites. I've purchased a few things there while touring it with him. He's over planned! He has a Speakeasy set up with interesting information about the Great Wall of China, slides about it as well, a help notecard for voice, group chat, and viewing media - which will help us for all our future meetings, and landmarks to the two sims we will visit. I happen to know he has a costume to wear, too. :-) Cyrus is awesome! I adore him. Cyrus wants to be a VSTE Island Manager when Flying takes us from 4 to 8 managers and I think he's perfect for the job. He's in Virginia but on the other side of the state from the four of us who are running things now. He's higher ed, rather than elementary. He has the ability to be online during the day from work, so he could sometimes meet those folks who want tours and information when the rest of us can't get to SL. He has a technical background though he is a teacher and director now. His field is distance learning, which SL is, for us. Cyrus was the one who did the audio streaming at the unveiling of VSTE Island to the world in February 2009. He's been very supportive of our activitites. In reading his notes I ran across the creator of the Great Wall itself, Amiryu Hosoi. She has a beautiful website with many machinema that I just have to share. http://hosoi-ichiba.blogspot.com/
