WINTERFLAME IS GO!

:::Not much lead-in on this one folks, it's only a few days until the event - so look sharp for festive fun-times! (// that's Tuesday 29th Dec at sync (Midnight GMT/6pm CST/11am Weds AEDT):::

(In huge, snow-capped orange writing, this message announces itself in a jolly, booming voice, shortly followed by a flurry of snowballs and the sound of Orrin and lots of other people laughing)

WINTERFLAME MUSIC FESTIVAL 961 A.E.

(The text moves to the background, the image clears and a gentle snowfall continues throughout. A tall W'hoorn with large, slightly tatty golden wings and a smiling face is standing by a firepit in the Winterflame music area, wearing a brightly colored Winterflame sweater, grey duracloth pants, a blue bobble hat and a pair of fingerless mittens. His face is covered with fluttering leaf tattoos, which seem to currently be a festive green, He gestures, wielding a toasted marshmallow on a stick).

"Well hi there everyone! I'm Orrin and I'm here to tell you alllll about WINTERFEST!"

(He gestures to the left with the marshmallow, using it as a pointer. Text pops up in the air as he points. The date displayed in red sparkly writing, hovering in the air.)

"The event is gonna be on Starsday in the 2nd week of Aether, 961 A.E."
(// that's Tuesday 29th Dec at sync (Midnight GMT/6pm CST/11am Weds AEDT)

"The lineup SO FAR is as follows:" (he taps his marshmallow-wand in the air five times, each tap bringing up an artist name in sprakling letters dotted around in no particular order underneath the date.)
Voidwitch
ArkStar
Teren's Spacer Life
...and of course me, Orrin Omnifarious!

"And thanks to amazing sponsorship deals with: Flight Clothing, JoyCo, Keiko's Candyland, Stareater Industries, Poetic Systems and Guardian General Shardclaw, we will have PRIZES and GIFTS!" (Orrin gestures as if to get the audience to join him in saying 'OooOOoohh').

"So... PRIZES - Everyone who arrives before the end of the opening act, and stays until the end of the show will be entered into a prize draw. We have some AMAZING Prizes including hookahs, snow machines, custom items, generous cash prizes and giftcatchers!"

"Aaand GIFTS! I'm working with Tucky here to get some special goodie bags made up for you all. These will include a couple of EXCLUSIVE Winterflame items and will be given to everyone who attends as a Winterflame gift from us to you - made possible by our amazing sponsors! (Orrin puts his right forepaw to his mouth and stage-whispers,) Check out their shops and services y'all! If you wanna be a sponsor send me a message."

"I think that's all..." (He scratches the patchy mane on his chin.)

"Oh... ARTISTS! Remember not to schedule a concert at least 20 hours before you need to book a slot at the winterflame performance area or you won't be able to play the fest (and if you don't, I can't pay you!) And if any other artists wanna play now the date's confirmed, let me know ASAP. Any questions send me a message!"

(Orrin nods resolutely and eats the toasted marshmallow off the end of the stick with a grin, then uses the stick to salute you directly, and points at some text which is now scrolling in the foreground of your vision before waving cheerfully and wandering off.)

The text reads:
WMF would not be possible without the generosity of:
F l i g h t. Clothing.
Keiko's Candyland
Guardian General Shardclaw
JoyCo
Poetic Systems
Stareater Industries
And...
YOU!
