WELCOME to the thirtieth issue of the Bay City Post!
-Keeping you updated on the best city on the grid.
Labor Intensive
Labor Party, Labor Day… It’s been a long hot summer and it’s
taken a lot of work to keep our pixels cool. In spite of our Hot Bay City
Nights I think we’ve achieved just that. Bay City is growing and we’ve shared
some hot times in this cool little coastal. Summer breezes by too fast, but it’s
been one fine day here by the bay! I’d like to say thanks to all our friends
old and new. Know that you are appreciated and we look forward to more great
seasons full of fun and frolicks with you all!
A little ditty I found on the wall of a friend’s house I was
um erm oh uh… totally not griefing if that’s what you’re getting at :o :
No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn,

Warm with me this autumn or next summer you’ll get burned.
Sunny Salutations

Hot Bay City Nights a BIG Sucess!
Bay City Hosts Second Annual Car Show!
Uccie Poultry-Seale gives it her all at the Car Wash
It was August and it was hot Hot HOT! What's better than hot
rods, bikinis, music, dancing, drinks and dawgs?!? Nothing! That's what!!! Bay
City hosted the grid’s most Rockin' vintage auto show... Hot Bay City Nights was
held the last week of August at the Bay City Fairgrounds. There were six awesome
vintage automakers with cars on display, music and dancing, a bikini contest, three
charity car washes, and a Bay City Alliance welcome booth.
The charity car wash was held three times with hosts
Benjamin Wahl, Nadia Soldya and Ever Dreamscape. Donations were raised for
childsplaycharity.org, and a whopping L$83,550 was raised!!! Wow! "Your
donations support seriously-ill children in hospitals by distracting them from
their illnesses, and help them cope with fear, anxiety, and boredom."
-Cameron Hosner - Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
We would like to thank all those who came out to the event
and helped out with the car washes!

Sylvia Tamalyn Named Miss Bay City!
Miss Bay City, Sylvia Tamalyn
The “Miss Bay City” bikini contest Saturday, August was well
attended and a panel of independent judges proclaimed Miss Tamalyn as the 2013
winner. Angela Seale- Poultry graciously passed her crown over as guests
cheered on both the beauty queens. Rumors that Miss Tamalyn won due to an overabundance
of insurance premiums are false. Trust
me I know this to be true as she hasn’t even purchased Beauty Queen Prize Car
coverage yet!!!
Miss Bay City enjoying a snack after the event :D
The master of ceremonies was a very stylish Pygar Bu.

Breaking Breaking!
Mimes Protest City Hall!!
After submitting an application to open an academy of mime
school and being told: NO Mimes!, at least (most) one mime took to the streets
in protest. In an interview the painted protestor was cited as saying _____

_______ _ _____ __________

"[14:01] Ever Dreamscape: ya i told Mari i was going to open up a school of mime and she said no permit ;P
[14:02] Roc Plutonian: I knew I liked her"

Seriously Breaking again?!?
Yep :/
Real News from the Bay City Post!
Yep!
I “ran” into (k maybe over) Ivan Suen who has been a busy
big builder in Bay City!
Ivan Suen: I'm having second thoughts about dumping a few
hundred K lindens into the new Bay City Heliport.
Ever Dreamscape: hmmm heliport?
Ivan Suen: Yup, took
me a while to negotiate the landowner to sell.
but I needed a spot where it could be flown into with no fear of ban
orbs nearby
Ever Dreamscape: gah ill bet
Ivan Suen: The problem with the airport is that airlines
can't set up shop there :)
Ivan Suen: so the "Bay City Heliport" is
essentially a partner to the larger airport, which will host up to 8 airlines
or helicopter tour people. I scripted up a tour giver that narrates for you :))
Ever Dreamscape: excellent
Ivan Suen: I'd like to do this interview in two parts. The first in my normal typing voice, and then the second by banging by empty beer
into the keyboard. shidfhsdfasdhjusd
Ever Dreamscape: lol ya... so tell me what's going on here?
Ivan Suen: It's another commercial experiment... seeing if
there's need for a heliport. One of the
challenges with Bay City is that the current airport doesn't support operations
by some of the airlines such as around the Blake Sea regions. Another challenge unique to Bay City is that
our parcel sizes and road layout really prohibit a private runway (except for
small private aircraft). So similarly to
how some cities have had success using helicopters, this is an effort to mirror
some of those.
Ivan Suen: Ultimately, I'd like to see existing SL airlines
have ticket counters here and fly to and from Bay City destinations as well as
other locations in Sansara and Heterocera Atoll continents. This facility will
also be suited for tour operators, where they can have their guests meet here
and board a helicopter for tours of the City.
Ivan Suen: The inside is mostly mocked up, so don't put too
much faith in it yet. But I think the
overall flow will be as it is now. Meeting space / ticket counters on first
floor. Two banks of elevators to take
passengers up to the helicopter deck which can service up to three passenger
helicopters at a time (such as the AS-363 or EC-135 by S&W.
Ever Dreamscape: looks great!
Ivan Suen: Thx.
It is loosely inspired by some reading on art deco architecture as well
as a few design cues from the Heliport found in the World’s Fair in NYC back back in the 60s (I think the 60s).
Ever Dreamscape: so you built and scripted this all yourself?
Ivan Suen: I do a lot of building and scripting. Although for a lot of my projects lately I
leverage the prim-slinging talent of a few friends as well as technologies from
Gentek and Hippo.
Ever Dreamscape: so what would you suggest people to do if
they want to get involved in this project?
Ivan Suen: For project updates, be sure to click on the
mailing list button out front. To help
beyond that, we're going to need some pilots that are good at flying
helicopters and hopefully would want to offer passenger service or tours!
Ivan Suen: So if you ever wanted to start a tour company,
get your logos, ideas, and friends together!
Ever Dreamscape: Tours would be fantastic and the location
here next to the Truro Airship Rez zone is fantastic!
Ivan Suen: It's also close to the aquarium and many other
FANTASTIC Bay City builds, especially some of the random great spots you can
find just checking out your neighbors creations!
Ever Dreamscape: Wow thanks for the tour Ivan I hope this is
a big success for you. Anything else that our readers may want to know?
Ivan Suen: And please be sure to not just get out and enjoy
Bay City's Roads, Water, and Sky, but please use sensible ban lines or security
devices to help everybody else enjoy the same freedom of movement :)
Ever Dreamscape: That is really good advice thank you!
Ivan Suen: Today's interview was brought to you by the
letter E-tv. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Awesome (?)Shark Joke
Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors
of a sunken ship.
"Follow me, son," the father shark said to the son
shark and they swam to the mass of people bobbing in the water.
"First we swim around them a few times with just the
tip of our fins showing," the father explained. And they did.
"Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times
with all of our fins showing." And they did.
"Now we eat everybody," the father said. And they
did.
When they were both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why
didn't we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around
them?"
His wise father replied, "Because they taste better
without the sh*@ inside!"
