If you've been watching the Something may be cooking... thread by Lord Chaos, then you know there's going to be a celebration of Radio KTDN's Fifth Anniversary on Saturday, June 19th. Here are a few more details:


From last year's event notice:

Lord Chaos wrote:

I did my first-ever broadcast, for UCF Music Night, 2005 June 19. At the time I barely knew what I was doing, having been taught how to broadcast by Donahoo at the Tapestry Happy Hour about a week and a half earlier.

UCF was the Uru Christian Fellowship, started by Andrew C. We wanted to get the name out there, and my background plan was to do some kind of regular musical event to promote healing among the Cavern's many subgroups. Music Night turned into something other than what I expected, so I tried another public event that flopped. Music Night moved to the GoG Shard, then to Great Tree, then to Uru Live and now... who knows? I still broadcast.

That first Music Night all I knew how to do was play entire CDs that had been copied to the computer. I had about 10 available in two main 'tracks: contemplative, and more dance-oriented. We ended up doing the contemplative and that set the tone for successive Music Nights. Uru music, Loreena McKennitt, Riven music. It worked well enough that folks wanted to continue, so I gradually moved my music to the PC and learned how to play individual songs. Eventually I even learned what a playlist was.

Somehow the word went out. Ashtar asked for music for his Great Tree anniversary party. Then I started alternating with Donahoo for the Happy Hour. Eventually I started "Up On the Roof!" as a one-man event. It expanded to a 10-hour extravaganza to accommodate Europeans, with the great help of the Rooftop Volunteer Group. And on we went until the Cavern closed.

Becoming a DJ was easy. Staying as a D'niJ wouldn't have happened without enthusiastic audiences. So, this is the day to celebrate all those hundreds of shows. I don't know what the future holds and am not going to worry about it. For now... (in the words of Ace)

Let's rock!
And waltz
And sing ballads
And go chicken trucking
And jig
And hornpipe
And minuet, sonata, passacaglia and anything else I can think of. This will be the day to pull out all the stops. I'll be talking, too. You have been warned.

The celebration begins in The Watcher's Sanctuary at:
10:00 US Pacific
11:00 US Mountain
12:00 US Central
13:00 US Eastern
17:00 UTC
18:00 British
19:00 Central European

Also, if anyone would like to host a corresponding celebration in SL, please post details here.
The broadcast will be on the land server at the Guild of Healers Outreach Retreat in Second Life and anyone is welcome to go there and listen during the event. Presumably most of the GoH members will be in Uru at the time, but Elsie will be there to greet visitors. Please be kind to her and give her a pat as she's still pining for Ktahdn.

If Ktahdn drops any more shoes (details), I'll be sure to post them here.

Edit: A shoe was dropped: It appears that the Minkata segment will be something of a reprise of an event Ktahdn did in SL last year - the Silk Road journey, "a metaphorical caravan from mysterious China through desert and mountain, climbing and descending, to the Mediterranean Sea following the interwoven complexities of the Silk Road."

This is really exciting news, Tai, LC, Ktahdn and all...

And that he's dedicating the whole day for this extraordinary event so that the
whole worldwide community may participate in those hilarious festivities and
corroboree... /cheer...

So, while waiting for the other shoe(s) being dropped by Kt anytime soon,
I'm thankfully requesting an invite to your awesome Minkata, dearest Tai...

Yikes! I don't remember my KI! Have I been to your place, Tai? I'll go through the records and see what I can turn up.

I think Ghaelen is calling a quick meeting of the RVG to compare notes. You know how much she loves meetings, but let's try to keep this one under four hours, please. You know what happens when Jane and Ghaelen get to talking about breathing...

Not to worry, LC, I've found your name in my buddies list as well as that of your lady friend, so I've put them both on the list to receive invitations.

Yes, well, there's a lot to say about breathing... for example: in meditations, people usually take long deep breaths, but at the last two GoH meditations, Ghaelen had us breathing in quick short bursts... sort of like HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.

We should hasten to add that ghaelen demonstrated those quick short bursts with the utmost Gravity and Solemnity. She cannot be held responsible for the less dignified execution of the exercise by Tai and myself.

We will all attempt to remain appropriately Serious for the 5th Anniversary, however (i.e., exactly as serious as the occasion merits ).
