So... Yesterday, Reallymad gave up watching the World Cup to sing at the Fashion Fest, for Relay for Life. Now, at the beginning of the gig, we all had to hear about it... but as the gig went on, things took an interesting turn!
The RFL kiosk was nearing 3 Million Linden, and Nikki's hope was to reach it by the end of the weekend... little did she know... Someone in the audience said if it reached the total ending in 5KL they would donate an additional 5kl... Well Mick called him out, and made the kiosk reach that 5k. The audience member paid an additional 5kl... That's when another audience member said for every linden donated, he would match up to 50,000L that night. Everyone was shocked! Again, said audience member didn't think he would have to pay up til later that night, maybe even after the fashion show.
That's when out of the blue, someone donated 50KL! Everyone was aghast! So, the other person lived up to his word and donated 50KL, for a total of 100KL, that's when the kiosk went OVER 3Million Linden!!!! For those who want to know what that adds up to, 3 Million Linden is approx. $11,000 USD. Needless to say, there was not a dry eye "in the room".
As for Reallymad, he said I'm sure it had nothing to do with me. My response to that was, if he had not been singing those people wouldn't have been there! Whatever the reason for people donating, they did, and wouldn't it be amazing if a cure was found because people in secondlife donated lindens!
Thanks Mick for giving up the World Cup! You and I both know that it was well worth it!
