Silly Wacky Day Tomorrow!

It's time again! Time for another day to get silly in Pandanda! On Tuesday, it is your chance to dress and act your silliest!

Yes, I know Halloween just ended, and you wore awesome costumes for that. But for Wacky Day you really want to go completely miss-matched, weird, wild, and silly. Check out the picture above - I bet you can get even crazier than that!

I will be making some sneaky visits, looking for wacky pandas, and even doing some wacky contests, along with the Moderators. Who knows what kind of silliness we might get up to? Wacky fashion shows, wacky jokes, wacky rules for Panda Gold games. You'll have to pay close attention to any Mods you meet tomorrow - if they shout out "Presto Changeo", everyone has to stop what you are doing and change at least one thing you are wearing! Why, you ask? Because it's wacky!

And if you think you have the wackiest outfit ever, send me a picture at screenshots@pandanda.com.

All the fun happens Tuesday!

Psssst! Surprise Furniture Updates!

In case you haven't noticed, the Pandanda Team sneaked in some updates to the House & Tree Catalog today! And it looks like they remembered that my favorite color is PURPLE! Woo hoo! I've already given my tree house a makeover!

Happy decorating!

Last Day of Pumpkin Festival!

That's right, today is the absolute last day of the Pandanda Pumpkin Festival! You still have about half a day to collect candy and trade it for the prizes in the Cauldron of Prizes on West Market Street. Don't wait until the last minute to exchange your candy for prizes - once the Cauldron is gone, it's all over for this year!

It will also be your last chance to visit Draco the Ghost in The Parlour of the Haunted House. If you are working on one of his Quests, make sure to complete the Quest and return to Draco to get your Panda Power and coins. Once Draco bids farewell to Pandanda, you will no longer be able to turn in his Quests.

Today is also the last day to get the hidden Halloween shirt. If you haven't found it yet, ask some friendly pandas at East Market Street where you should look for it!

Yes, today is the end of some things, but don't worry! We are going to have fun in November. Next Tuesday, November 8th is another weird and wonderful Wacky Outfit Day. It's your chance to dress your panda in the most mixed-up, crazy outfit you can find.

Our traveling friend Zing Ballyhoo will be back on November 14th with more Golden Tickets and interesting prizes. During Thanksgiving Week, November 21-27, you can log in to get a special Thanksgiving gift for your panda. And on Saturday, November 26th, you can give thanks for another awesome Free Elite Member Day!

I've got a few other things under my hat for November, but you'll just have to be patient to find out what they are! As always, the place to get the most up-to-date information about what is going on in Pandanda is right here in my Blog!

Party on, pandas!

There are still a few more hours to get the free Day of the Dead mask from the catalog in the Clothing Co. And you have until the end of the Pumpkin Festival tomorrow to get the free, hidden Halloween shirt. Don't miss out!

Dia de los Muertos in Pandanda

Today and tomorrow we are celebrating Dia de los Muertos /Day of the Dead in Pandanda. In some cultures the two days of November 1st and 2nd are called All Saints Day and All Souls Day. But whatever you call it, these are days to gather with your friends and family to remember, honor, and celebrate loved ones who have died.

One of the traditions connected with Day of the Dead is the use of skulls. Decorated skull masks, and chocolate or sugar skulls to eat are very popular. When you log into Pandanda during Day of the Dead, make sure to go by the Clothing Co. on East Market Street to get your free 2nd Edition Day of the Dead Mask from the catalog. It is really cool! Check out Mod Jule in last year's Day of the Dead mask.

While you are at East Market Street, don't forget to look for the hidden Halloween gift. I've seen lots of pandas wearing the gift, and it still makes me jump when the t shirt flashes "BOO!" Awesome!

You have today, tomorrow, and Thursday to finish collecting candy for the Pumpkin Festival. Make sure to exchange your candy for the prizes in the Cauldron of Prizes before the end of the day on Thursday, so you don't miss out!

Halloween in Pandanda!

It's finally Halloween! Put on a costume and go trick-or-treating around Pandanda Land. While you are looking for the Pumpkin Fest candy, make sure to look for the special Halloween prize that I have hidden somewhere in Pandanda. The hidden Halloween prize will be available until the  Pumpkin Festival ends on Thursday, November 3rd.

October 31st isn't just Halloween - it's also my 3rd birthday in Pandanda! I will making some surprise visits to Pandanda today to check out everyone's costumes, and I hope I might get some of you to sing Happy Birthday to me!

The fun doesn't end today. On Tuesday and Wednesday, November 1st and 2nd, we will be celebrating Day of the Dead. This is a holiday that has roots in Mexico, but is observed throughout the world. Day of the Dead is a time of celebration in honor and remembrance of friends and family members who have died. There will be a special Day of the Dead prize available in the catalog at Clothing Co. on those two days.

I am still working on the Costume photo album, and hope to have it ready by Tuesday. I will also post a few pictures right here in my blog.

Happy Halloween!

Costume Day Today!

Happy Costume Day! I hope you are all having fun showing off your cool Pandanda costumes! Just in case you need a little inspiration, take a look at this picture sent in by Ursulet7. This was the very first costume picture to arrive at screenshots@pandanda.com today!

Remember, if you think you have an awesome or unusual Pandanda Halloween costume, send me at picture to screenshots@pandanda.com. Make sure to include your Panda name! I'll choose some pictures to show on my blog, and put all of them into a photo album that everyone can see!

Costume Day Thursday!

Thursday is Costume Day in Pandanda! Halloween is creeping closer and closer, so come celebrate the season and show off your favorite Pandanda costume!

I have seen some really interesting and creative costumes during the Pumpkin Festival, where pandas have taken parts of different costumes, and mixed and matched them in cool and unique ways. If you think you have a really awesome costume, send me a picture of your player card so I can check it out. You can send your pictures to screenshots@pandanda.com.

You've still got one week of Pumpkin Fest left to collect Halloween candy to trade for the items in the Cauldron of Prizes. That should be plenty of time to get all of the prizes that you want! And next week you have a chance to get 2 special gifts - one on Halloween Day and one for the two-day Day of the Dead celebration! I'll tell you more about those days soon!

Goodbye Year 2, Hello Year 3!

UPDATE! You can get the free 2nd Anniversary Gift from the clothing catalog at Clothing Co. on East Market Street. Fitch has also added a couple of wickedly cool Halloween items, so check them out! If you don't see the new items, make sure to log out of Pandanda, then log back in!

Don't forget, we are having a mini-celebration today of the 2nd Anniversary of Pandanda's Official Launch! Two years ago today, Pandanda officially threw its doors open to the world! It has been a great two years, thanks to all of you awesome pandas who spend your time in Pandanda Land!

Bring on Year 3 in Pandanda!
I've already made one visit to Pandanda early this morning, and I am getting ready to make the second of my 4 visits. The Mods and I are playing lots of games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill  for Panda Gold today, so get in on the fun! Remember, when playing for Panda Gold, no potions are allowed. And since today is a special day, instead of only being able to win one time the whole day, you can win once from each Moderator (and from me)! Play fair, have fun, be happy!

The rest of my visits today will be at 9am Pandanda Time3pm Pandanda Time, and 8pm Pandanda Time. You can click the links for each of those times to see what time it will be where you live.
