Drivers of SL by Bixyl Shuftan of SL Newser
https://slnewser.blogspot.com/2023/08/drivers-of-sl.html
After my initial interview months ago and later with Zada and Christie, Bixyl Shuftan has produced a felicitous article on DSL. This article is a good summary of our organization and how it works.
Thanks and appreciation go to Bixyl!
We hope to see her on one or more of our drives or events in the future.
Give it a good read and feel free to leave comments below.
The Decommissioning... We Said Goodbye To Our Beloved HQ1
In 2019, it was decided that we needed a world headquarters. We needed a space to be able to give out our weekly navHUD via a file cabinet and have a home to call our own where people could gather to collect our weekly adventure drive which included a GTFO drive once a month. Close ties with the GTFO organization including CinnamonMousse and Syler Avon made this possible. Shortly thereafter, Christie asked me if I would be interested in maintaining the place and I agreed it would be fun and that would take on the responsibility. Thus the DSL headquarters was a established inside the GTFO World Headquarters located on Bruissac on the Jeogeot Gulf adjacent to the Blake Sea (some of the most expensive real estate areas on the grid).
As the years went on, I would create sets of displays in the courtyard depending on our special events and seasons featuring vehicles from our sponsors given out each week to highlight and a also give a sense of belonging. I especially enjoyed creating winter scenes with snow and vehicles related to that with trees and lighting etcetera.
As the story goes, one day Syler decided to make a change. He grew tired of the same old set up of the GTFO World Headquarters and wanted to try something new. This included our space. It turns out that Syler re arranged his land holdings and was able to consolidate land in Bruissac and adjacent Hugues together to form a new GTFO and DSL headquarters. This is where we are at now.
