of the Avi Choice Awards as almost a second thought as the Christmas Expo was my priority . I knew at that point , that I was not being fair to the event itself . So , I began after that , to try and figure out a way to make it better for such a dedicated audience .
As a result , in 2013 , I decided to order two sims and split that auditorium up , put the seating on one and the stage on the other sim in a way that you couldn ’ t tell by looking at the auditorium . It looked like the same sim , but it wasn ’ t . By putting the stage on its own sim , I could accommodate more people in the audience on the adjacent sim .
That was the year I actually rented four sims . I tried to do an exact replica of the auditorium on two sims beside the two sims that was the original so they could cam over and watch the show . Well , that was just a nightmare . I ended up with like 400 people or something . In fact , it was the first year we live streamed and we had 2,000 people watching live stream . two thousand people ! It was crazy !
In 2014 when I had finished my term as Relay Chair , I decided to put 100 % of my focus on Avi Choice and make it a separate event . It still benefitted Relay for Life , but it was not going to be hosted right in the middle of the Christmas Expo anymore . I split it up into three shows per year , each representing a different genre of Second Life . One is home , one is fashion and one is the arts . That was the year that we began splitting them up .
