GIG IN A TANK

[MerEmma]

Ooh, that sounds like so much fun! When is it?

[AniaR]

unfortunately because this was funded by the government- the government just slashed funding so it didnt happen was supposed to be this last weekend. On the up side- I was in a music video instead

[Mermaid Saphira]

Thats 2 bad Atleast you got to be in a music video! That sounds fun

[Kanti]

O: That's so hardcore! You're gonna go looking at tanks and pick your own!?
Hot damn Raina! And yea, lots of pictures! xD

[Kanti]

Wait this just got canceled? o_o

[AniaR]

yup. It was all lined up but the event was hosted by an institute of oceanography and they lost government funding

[AniaR]

I can't be too sad about missing out on the tank because something like 75% of their staff was laid off

[Morticia Mermaid]

That sucks. There will be other opportunities though So "Just keep swimming" Couldn't resist

[Kanti]

D:
Aww man. That sucks so bad, and yea, for those people too! Damn, I guess times are tough ):
That's still really cool that you even were offered that! Maybe it'll happen again in the future!

[AniaR]

yes I made lot of connections and I know they have a big ol tank there that they never use lol. So maybe I can rent it in the future or something Our government has been really sneaky these days. Cutting lots and lots, we're worried they're gearing up for some big environment blunders. Cutting education, cutting science, shooting down all proposed laws to regulate pollution... it's really weird and everyone's picking up on it

[Mermaid Annariea]

oh no
maybe another chance will pop up soon.
but its horrible that the funding got cut and so many people were laid off. hopefully they can find jobs elsewhere. :/

[MerEmma]

Oh, no. I'm so sorry, that sucks! It sounded like so much fun. :\ If I may ask, what was/is the music video?

[AniaR]

my lipz are sealed til the video is released then I'll share

[Blondie]

I was legitimately thinking about this yesterday. I'm sorry it got cut :\

[AniaR]

me too, but at least I got to be in a music video so that's cool. Maybe something like this will come around again. I was just stoaked because I never thought there would be opportunity to do anything in a tank where I live

[SilverSiren]

Aww, that sucks. I'm bummed for both you and those poor people. I'm excited to see you in a music video though, do you have an idea of when it will be out for us to see? And can you tell us the name of the band or did you answer that somewhere and I'm blind like a bat?

[AniaR]

I didn't tell the name, I'm waiting to just share it when it comes should be less than 2 weeks. The musician keeps posting about it so it may be sooner, lol

[SilverSiren]

Cool, I was hoping it wouldn't be too long.
