Sunday, August 5, 2001

The kids and adults over at AWTeen are going back in time to before they were born, WAY before. AWTeen is bringing one popular summertime
event back to ActiveWorlds by holding a day long medieval festival, called the AWTeen Renaissance
Faire, on August 5th.
AWTeen will transform itself on that Sunday into the kingdom of AWTeen, where a King and Queen preside,
and regular citizens will become merchants, blacksmiths, peasants, and farmers who will bow down before nobles and ladies. Dozens of AWTeen citizens and volunteers will become members of the AWTeen Kingdom, re-enacting daily life during the Time of New Thinking in European history.
As you walk down the streets of the interactive area, you'll hear the busy rustlings of merchants selling their goods, theories and pamphlets of John Locke being distributed, and
Ladys and Lords clenching their teeth in front of the dirty and uncivilized public. Head on over to the famous Globe Theater and see classic performances of Shakespearean works such as Julius Caesar from a newly developed group of PerformerBots, courtesy of Magine. Or head over to the Public Commons and witness a virtual execution of someone accused of wrongdoing. Make your way towards the battle arena, where a large
jousting tournament will end in a crowning of an AWTeen knight. If you're lucky, you might be invited into the castle to watch entertainers try to become royal jesters and meet with the Royal Family. If you're just looking for a relaxing time, sit down and enjoy a peaceful sonnet competition out by the shades.
The Era of New Thinking will take over AWTeen on August 5th, from 2pm vrt to
8pm VRT at 1600s 600w. A cast of over 30 people have already been assembled to give you a truly interactive experience and a great day of fun. So come on over and get ye medieval
English ready, and come out to enjoy the great day we have planned for you. It is truly a one-of-a-kind event.
