I received a press release today for an event occurring around 12 hours from now so I’ll just reproduce it in full:

This weekend Australians will raise money for Children’s medical rsearch by holding musical events all across the country – and now in Second Life too!

    Thank you for posting this PR. I just wanted to report that the event went very well and a Grand Total of 612482 Linden = $2157 us dollars (not sure what that is in Aussie) was donated at the event which actually ended up running just over 26 hours of Live music in Second Life.
