SPECIAL EVENT: KING'S DAY 2014

Many of you know that in RL Riddle lives in the Netherlands (Holland). What you may not know is that there is a King and Queen of Holland. Sunday, April 27 is the official King's Day in Holland when the entire country shows its love and respect for the King and the Queen.

I thought it might be fun to celebrate Holland's King's Day for Riddle at NotTooHot. Riddle and I have joked about this for a while, since the Queen of Holland is from Argentina ... woo hooo. Hey! That's where I am from.

Riddle answered me with his wishes for King's Day with "I would like a flea market." Hahahaha, well, if King Riddle of NotTooHot commands it, it will happen. I put on my 'let's have fun' hat and came up with some additional activities for the day. Here is the official schedule for KING'S DAY 2014.

OFFICIAL KING'S DAY 2014 SCHEDULE

6 am (The Dutch get up early) - Dutch Tango for the Argentine Queen of Holland with Joaquin Gustav of Argentina. I get to play Queen and will wear Queenly clothes. You all can dance tango with royalty or just sit and drink Heineken.

7 am - FLEA MARKET
As soon as you read this blog post you can claim one of the 36 flea market spots (28 spaces and 8 carts) set up on the sim in front of the theater. These are available on a first-come first-served basis (one per member). To claim a spot just put at least one prim on an available space (see below). You can rezz up to 30 prims to sell whatever you want to anyone who shops starting now during the entire week through Sunday, April 27. Please, keep your prims within your space or on your cart. From 7 to 8 am Sunday we will invite all Club members to come and shop. All left over items will be auto-returned Monday.

The sandy-white areas are flea market spaces and the carts with a roof are the carts. It will probably rain, so be prepared.

8 am HOLLAND DANCES & PRANCES - If you want to do something to entertain the Club members, this is your chance. It can be dancing, singing, musical instrument playing, joke telling ... whatever you want, BUT it must relate in some way to Holland, e.g. canals, wooden shoes, Delft pottery, Bob Smit en het Duke City Sextet, Anne Franck, drugs, you name it. The maximum time you get is 10 minutes of the hour. We may ask Riddle to sing in Dutch if there are no volunteers.

9 am King's Day Auction - You can see the auction stand in front of the theater with chairs lined up for bidders. I (Nottoo) will be the auctioneer. Any item you want to auction can be placed on stand 01 or stand 02. We will auction from those stands alternating between them (i.e. when the item on Stand 01 is being auctioned, you may set up an item on Stand 02). You can set a minimum bid if you want. All payments go directly from the winning bidder to the seller. You can auction anything, but you can only rezz items of 100 or fewer prims. If you have something that is larger than 100 prims or not an object, you can provide a description or picture.

10 am Dutch Singing - I hope to arrange a Dutch singer or musician for this hour.
