Second Life 10th Birthday... wow into double figures!!


As you may be able to see we have been busy sorting out SL10B. Well not all of it, there are a couple of other people who are doing that. We sorted out our parcel.... Ssssh...O O the water is warm! on the SL10B Stunning sim
 
 The reason is that it is Second Life's 10th Birthday. Hands up, apart from Philip Rosedale, who has been here ten years and can we have you on our sim?
We are like the USA. Not quite as old as we could be. 
 
This year there is a bit of a difference. You can't have events apparently on your parcel you would have to book a space. Well we didnt get a space that we could stay up to utilise, so we have decided that as we can have a party on our parcel, we will be doing that instead... It will be a PG PJ PARTY with music and the rest of what we do so well. We would like you all to pop along. Basically the party will be whenever you turn up :-)) but particularly on Friday 21st from 2pm slt onwards. In the meantime, to keep in the party spirit we have built an Adventure Playground, and we are showing our live stream there together with our archived stream and some fun freebies. SL birthdays are usually our time for adolescent behaviour
Come and see some of the valued creators of Second Life and what they used to do, in Out and About, the panels of discussions from MBC News and predictions so old we wonder if they did come true! or whether they have come and gone... there will be programmes added all week


So basically come along in your PJs and have an exploration, we will be there and there is a mass of beautiful builds to see. In the short time I have had so far to look at the builds I would head for the water sims and not just because we are there but because some of the more unusual builds are there. There is also a fabulous museum set up for the distribution of the lost and lamented Arcadia Asylum where you can grab all the freebies your heart desires back on the terra sims. Best present ever is the little train that dissolves into a pod and takes you around all the sims courtesy of the talented and EXTREMELY PATIENT Yavanna Llanfair, so you dont even have to press a button. It was no mean feat to repeat the answers to the same questions for the last 3 weeks I think. I couldnt have done it that is for sure. You were brilliant Yavanna and lovely to work with ... thank you.
And the lovely volunteer EAs and Inspectors who had so much fun discovering our build .... we thank you for the giggles.  And let us NOT forget the naughty and ever highness KT Syakumi who blessed us with a drowned newbie on our pristine parcel.  We treated it with honour and then its spirit dissipated into the air at some point .. not us KT promise. We had planned to incorporate him into our build as an unfortunate past employee of Metaverse TV. It alas was not to be.

OO and dont forget the elephants. Never forget the elephants!

Bloggers have been wandering the sims for the past day or so, so you will see loads of writing about it. BUT this year as last year a group from the residential community got together to put this on. If you didnt get a parcel, dont worry, Linden Labs have dedicated part of the Destination Guide to events and are asking for events from all over. So if you are having a special gig at your place try to get it in there. All in All, have a great time ... It's ten years. The Theme is LOOKING FORWARD LOOKING BACK. We had a little discussion about that .. something about a saying about one foot in the future and one in the past ...... if you know it you will know the rest. If not we have included the clue in the build hahahahahahahahahaha xx
