Ugly Christmas Sweater Party
Dig deep into your closet and pull out that Ugly Christmas Sweater, you’ve got a party to go to! Maybe you need to borrow one from Grandma or hit up the thrift stores, but the uglier and more ridiculous the sweater the better impression you’ll make at the party!
Join the Phoenix Stars at the Ugly Sweater Christmas Event on Friday, December 11th at 6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET.
There are lots of little mini events planned during the two hour event. There will be Christmas carols, dancing and music with Club99, an ice skating rink and a few other fun surprises.
Not sure what to wear and need some inspiration? Check out ugly Christmas sweaters in Shop Central or the Auctions.

Help Us Test A New Feature In There – BRICKS!
Samsyn has been hard at work creating and playing with Bricks! This upcoming new feature to There is a game piece that can be dropped into a Real Estate Zone. Each piece has 100 Brick objects to play with. Not only can you move them all around the Zone, but their shape and material can also be manipulated. Think of the Bricks like elevators for Avatars and vehicles.
We’d like to invite you over to our testing playground at Pumpkin_Jack’s Neighborhood to come and play with the new Bricks and offer us your thoughts and feedback. Let us know what you think and shoot us an email at feedback@thereinc.com.
Here’s some light reading material on how to interact with the Bricks. If you get stuck or have any questions, please let us know. Don’t forget to click “Stop Bricklaying” when you are done testing out the Bricks. Happy building!
Here are a couple of fun videos showing Thereians playing around with the new Bricks.
Bricks are only recently available for testing to Thereians. Their functionality will continue to evolve and change as we make updates from your suggestions. We’re looking forward to sharing the final product with you in the future!

Our Company. Your World.
About There
There is a 3D social world that first launched in 2003—before 2D social networks were even imagined. And today, nearly two million people have become members, making There the destination of choice for anyone who wants to experience the power of chat combined with the fun of online games.
Makena Technologies
Makena Technologies is a privately-held corporation, headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. Entrepreneur Michael Wilson founded the company in 2005. Makena develops and manages all the There consumer related products available today.
Who We Are
We’re the engineers and other team members who put the “there” in There. We’re the ones who’ve put all our hopes, dreams, imagination, creativity, skills, and experience into There, so that people like you could have an everyday hangout to keep connected to friends.
We wanted to create a place where anyone—no matter who or where they were in the real world—could kick back, chill, and hang out with their favorite people. So we created a world of continuous fun, over 20,000 different clubs to join, and thousands of cool places to play games, meet someone new, or just go exploring.
Most of all, we wanted to help people deepen their friendships. We know how hard it is when someone you care about moves away, or when your crew splits when school is over, or when you just want to be with your best friend even when you’re miles and miles apart.
So come on in! It only takes a minute to sign up and another minute to meet someone new. And before you know it, you’ll be inviting your family and friends—to meet your new family of friends.
