This is a bit late.  From time to time I have to take a personal hiatus and disconnect from virtual reality to keep some sanity.  When I returned, I discovered Rezzable had pulled out of SL's main grid for the most part, our Host for Hobos Island was gone, Hobos by their own choice had cleared our Island that we spent over a year planning out, and everybody missed me!  Oh well, you'd think my main concern would be that my hobos and I need to find another fiancial supporter.  Naw, we're resourceful like that and already had that covered.  You'd think I'd be upset that the hobos cleared the Island of my original concept.  Naw, my concept would never have come true and been successful for how long it had reigned if it were not for their help and talent in the first place.  It's their turn to try some of their own concepts on the island.  What did bother me is that Rezzable left SL at all.  They are one of the few companies that I believe really enforced creativity in SL.  If anything, I wish I did not take my hiatus and had done some more things to help Rezzable.  Hobos had a give and take relationship with R

What is a Hobo Block Party?   It's high time we had a huge party to signify the Hobos and Rezzable working together.  We plan to have a party outdoors making use of the streets and side walks of Hobo Island and the one and only Vagabond Royale Theatre.

Just yesterday it seemed that I was the only Hobo in Calleta.  Now years later, after an Info Hub and a wonderful community formed around me, there are Hobos everywhere.  Our goal was simple, welcome new people, enjoy each other's company, share, and most of all, have fun with In world the whole time doing so.  Currently, the group has expanded beyond my belief.  Due to the lack of breathing space and lag, I felt expansion was needed.  After a good half year of finding a route to an island for my group, I tried various sources.  Linden Labs' New User Experience program seemed very promising, but unfortunately the Lindens felt that people may get the wrong idea appearing in a slight dystopia.  I always like to wonder how many people join up and believe they start out as a Hobo in a video game.  If i was only so lucky to meet one of those people, I would be playful and tell them that they have to sell a can of beans to level up to Dumpster Diver.
