Maybe Lunasea: Citizen of the YEAR

Congratulations Ms Maybe Lunasea! You have been nagging me for weeks, and months to be Citizen of the Day. Well, guess what? You will receive an honor that has not yet been bestowed on an avatar. Let the trumpets proclaim that Maybe Lunasea has been named Plaidmania's Citizen of the Year! Not only did she receive the highest honor of plaid, she also was given the medal of the Plaidistan High Order of the Plaid in a private ceremony. Well, Maybe it doesn't get much better than this (yeah it probably does, but I am really tired.)

The John Locke and Amanda Hocking Phenomenon

I'm not quite ready to name them Citizen of the Day (because of envy.) However, I have been both inspired and intrigued with their recent successes. If you have not heard of these two names, they are both authors of best-selling books. They are not only authors but they are self-published authors. Last night, I read all about John Locke's success. John sells his books for $0.99(USD) and of that he makes $0.35. He has over 1,000,000 books. I hope that you find some inspiration from this post tonight. Just for reference I am providing hyperlinks to their respective sites.
Hey! Let's write a book now!

Citizen of the Day: The Solo Cup

Plaidmania proudly bestows the honor of Citizen of the Day to none other than the Solo Cup.
Solo Cup, you are always at the party. You have always been there for me when I needed you the most. Only you can make Natty Light taste good when you contain it. Therefore, let it be declared in the States and the and the Kingdoms as well as in the Metaverse, that you are Citizen of the Day. (I will see you tomorrow night at the keg party.)

MoShang: Citizen of the Day

I really wanted to listen to some music tonight, and there was this really intriguing description that stated the following, "MoShang is a sound jeweler living in Taiwan. He collects rough audio diamonds from the streets of Taiwan (be they overheard conversations, street-ads blared from the ubiquitous blue-trucks, street processions or funeral chants) and fuses them with traditional Chinese instruments http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifand laid-back beats to create a unique blend of downtempo electronica he likes to call Chinese Chill.

MoShang has released 4 full-length albums and an EP commercially - his latest, Further East (2010), is now available from iTunes and other online retailers.

In SL, MoShang performs live on a WX-5 midi windcontroller (electronic sax), lending a jazzy air to his all-original downtempo live-mixes. He shares one of his SL performances per week as part of his MoShang Live Online podcast.

So I go to the virtual concert which was hosted at Starport Omega, awesome place by the way. One of the most interesting musician that I have listened to in a long time.

It was no question that I just had to make MoShang Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day. Congratulations!

St Anthony Could Have Been Citizen Back in the Day

Saint Anthony of Padua (actually he was from Lisbon, Portugal) is Plaidmania's Saint of the day! I know what some of you are thinking to yourselves, "Come on Pie, don't play around with this!" But allow me to retort, I figured that June 13th is the Feast Day and it would be most appropriate to make him Saint of the Day. He is the patron saint of lost items and I have prayed to Saint Anthony many times when I had lost my television's remote control or had misplaced the keys to the car. Therefore, I feel St. Anthony should be honored by Plaidmania. So, if you lose an item today (I hope you don't) you can pray to St. Anthony and say, "Hey, congratulations! You are Plaidmania's Citizen mmm... I mean Saint of the Day!"

Anthony Weiner: NOT Citizen of the Day

Plaidmania was going to announce that the congressman, Anthony Weiner was nominated Plaidmania's coveted Citizen of the Day, but after further discussions with the selection committee, Plaidmania decided it would be best to table that motion. If Mr. Weiner had been selected as the Citizen of the Day, he would have been the second real-life person to be so. The first was acclaimed football draft expert, Mel Kiper. By the way, Mr. Weiner tweets.

Daily Puppy Is Removed

Mr. Pie Francois has decided to remove the Daily Puppy from his gadgets on the Plaidmania Blog. It was taking up too much resources. Plus, Pie could not figure out how it related to plaid. There is no animosity toward the Daily Puppy. Please, stay tuned to Plaidmania and watch out who may next become Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day. It could be YOU!!!
