My internet connections have been pretty spotty lately, as I have been on a speaking tour. Crappy hotel internet, or just my personal wifi hotspot via my phone has made interacting in SL difficult.
I tried to get in touch with all the confirmed sponsors ahead of announcing this, but word got out before I could make sure all messages were received.
It was not my intent, for this to be public knowledge until I was back home with steady internet and time to follow up. Oddly enough, I had rescheduled my entire April and May commitments to make sure...
Needless to say, this was not a decision made with ease. I've been planning since August, and actually working toward the May dates since early October. Most of the work already done now needs to be revised.
