I'm delighted so many worlds had gems-quality nominations this time, but I was also thinking that - I swear! - some worlds plan ahead to have at least one event that is "gem-worthy." For example, below are two events - one is obviously something anyone can do and enjoy anytime, and the other is pretty much fun for those of us that were there - I doubt anyone not there would want to read all the posts six months from now:

The Grand Canal Cruise

Goldfest Wrap Party '07

I think you can PLAN ahead for an historical/educational tour, cruise, visit, event, whatever, that will 'stand alone' after the festival is over and always be a delight for anyone.

For example, Americas' and Celtia's tours of their hoods - good tours, showcasing actual hoods, but I'm sure they put a lot of preparation into theirs to develop lots of different kinds of homes in different places - both of which were very enjoyable.

So thinking ahead, several things in this Fest were good suggestions for the future.
