Tuesday August 28


Queen of Hearts Riverboat Club

The club of the most active romance-themed sim in Second Life 

Due to RL and vacation time, we have severe scheduling constraints.  Coupled with this, we usually shut down for 1 week to upgrade the sim. So. . . . we will cancel all 12pm events for the upcoming week.  The Thursday night event will still take place and Fantastic Friday.  So from  August 27 to September 2nd, no 12pm events. 

We will be back to a normal schedule for the next week.
