This year's ECHO was a lot of fun, with new faces and old friends, lively competitions, music and dancing, RP RP RP, and a run on the Seed of Hamidon to wrap things up!

First Ward's Mercyview Church and surroundings made for a great location.


We held a trivia contest with many winners, the Dauntless Reverie Story Competition, wherein contestants sought out the far-flung Dauntless members who each held a portion of a story, collected the various parts, placed them in the right order and then presented the finished story (in the right order) to Nyght-shade.  Winners for the competition were:  Devilyn Side, and Miscreation.

Winners for the ECHO Costume judging were:
Best Male ECHO Costume:  Miscreation
Best Female ECHO Costume:  Devilyn Side.

For those who couldn't make it, I've posted some of my ECHO screenshots on Flickr, with public access.

If anyone else got good shots, please post the pics of links to them here.

And a Huge Thank You to all those who helped run competitions today, and helped give a warm welcome to our Virtue guests:  Lyte Thorsen, the Elysienne, Dr. Solitude and Indigo Shadow, Velvet Soul, and Homerunner, and Vangelus, who DJ'ed the Cape Radio coverage for us today.
