YAWNING, STRETCHING & TRYING TO THINK

YAWNING, STRETCHING & TRYING TO THINK

Maxim for the day: No good deed goes unpunished...Clare Boothe Luce.

The Library

BELIEVE IT OR NOT THE SIMS ARE STILL OPEN AT SL10B. This is your opportunity to pursue the noble art of stuffing as many freebies down the front of your shirt as is avatarly possible.

Yes,AND you can go to our parcel on Stunning and also get Freebies. Despite the misleading box at the entrance, there are boxes of fun all over the build from deep in the sea to up in the clouds. Just click the yellow pole for directions! heheheh

Or of course you can just sit in a rubber ring and watch avatar tv, whilst exercising your leg muscles.


Seriously, please go and look at the sims! There are masses of them all waiting for your kind gaze and your photos and your blogs.

There have been brilliant events on, but now it has quietened down, and the sims are much easier to walk or ride around. It is a mark of true excitement when the Exhibition Assistants are still on the sims, because they want to be.

 Enormous amounts of hard work have gone into the creation of these beloved builds and it is really worth seeing them. Take photos, play on them, hang out, collect freebies, hunt, dig, sail, marvel, see who is doing what, ride... it goes on at length at all you can do. There is music streaming on every parcel, media installations, works of incredibly complicated art, loving welcomes and laughs and peace and beauty.



CATCH THEM BEFORE THEY GO.

SL10B PARTIES ON...

Come in, the water's lovely!

We are really enjoying our own and the other exhibits on SL10B Stunning. Fortuitously we put in a swimball and are able to swim all over the sim. Foxxe Wilder donned her mermaid outfit and has been undulating through the reefs and hidden depths of the Stunning builds! Every so often we cast fish food on the waters for her. So far ignored.

Metaverse TV would have written again earlier to our previous blogs but we have been filming rl/virtual 'stuff' out there in the wider virtual platforms, coming back in to SL10B to let off a bit of steam and relax. We spent the morning (gmt) at SL10B Astonish.

Breakfast or Bedtime, still dancing.

 Now we admit we looked a bit of a ... well judge for yourselves...

but surely that is the point .. the past and the future but we  noticed that suddenly we weren't in the central auditorium any more, whilst still being able to hear the gorgeous ancient resident DJ Wilde  spinning ..( a great way to start the day and she gave us coffee).

At first we thought we must have double clicked somehow, but then heard a kind of splutter from our host of the day, the fab Callie del Boa. Nah, it wasnt Callie. Yes, we admit we did check, sorry Callie, lol. Interestingly, it was one of the SL Mods who had given us a bit of a bump! She was very strong btw! Definitely been eating her spinach.

We should talk about the scriptless machine demo by Chaos Energy. It was fun and intriguing. Now our description of these machines is possibly not Chaos Energy's. We went over yesterday for a bit of R & R. There was a clownish walker, cogs and chains and a caterpillar, an executive toy and a swinging seat. All in perpetual motion and no scripts. All physical. Contact him for a looksee.

There are more people walking all the sims now and still masses of people at the events, enthusiasm is high and happy. Tomorrow we will be holding a PG PJ PARTY from 1pm onwards, still trying to find PG PJs.

Have a great time, and if you are visiting us on Stunning, don't just look and wonder what is that! Head for the X marking the spot and click.

hehehehe.

INDULGING OUR INNER NEWBIE AT SL10B OPENING NIGHT!!

 SL10B opened last night/afternoon/today. Cross out n/a. 

You could barely see the world map for green dots. This was how it should be and very traditional for the SL Birthday celebrations. Plus the crashing that was involved. it was a celebration of the dodgem track that is the Second Life large event

Metaverse TV decided to go for the newbie look for Opening Night. !Spoiler Alert!: Look Away now  if bare feet offend you.

The above is the redoubtable Dousa Dragonash, COO of Metaverse TV. Robustus Hax, our CEO was immortalised in the first video he ever filmed, a vid to beat, even in those early days. If you want to see more of that go to the Ssssh O O the water is warm! Metaverse TVs Adventure Playground on SL10B Stunning.

.
The live events were completely packed. This is a tribute to the hard work that the live musicians in Second Life have put in over the years. Metaverse TV in the shape of Dousa, Baird Barnard and Ona Waffle and latterly Foxxe Wilder, yes the Rocker herself, swam over to the extraordinary Lake Auditorium and caught Wolfie and the NightStalkers with a cracking set of rock and anthemic songs. We were so knocked out by this gig. Absolutely a must to catch. But you probably all know that.
Before the band, was Shannon O'Herlihy with her beautiful acoustic set and gorgeous voice, singing festival favourites.

SL10B is worth every minute for seeing these live acts. You don't have to chase all over the world... These central performance areas are filled to bursting with a reputed 400 plus acts having booked in for the next week.

Brilliant Performance   Build at SL10B Captivate

We wandered around this a.m. when one of the larger continents had partied themselves silly and it was a dream of being in the Funfair after closing ... The stalwart Southern Hemisphere and those on the eastern continents, who weren't actively out at work, had a seemingly secret elvish party and took the pre-breakfast opportunity of a lag free stroll to the great music being streamed inworld.

An unexpected ride, goes with my hair

Spotting a cadillac and retro hoardings, we headed for ..Elvis .Dinosaur Mayhem.. and sat in a ride that matched our prim hair. What happened next was not what we thought would happen and we won't say it here. (Spoiler)  Suffice to say, I had to see who was the creator and all circles met ... it was Rakolnikow Roffo, of Lollygaggers, that extraordinary avatar whose very early interview with Dousa Dragonash in Out and About we have actually running on our parcel down at Stunning right at this moment. We see he has not put down his famous puddles! Anyway go and indulge your inner child at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SL10B%20Electrify/153/104/23
(Note:We did mishear "I ain't going honkytonking any more" for "I ain't going home to Taunton anymore".)

Another Note: This is the first place where we have not had moanings about our avatar. You can come looking as newbie as is unhumanly possible.......... AND get compliments!!!

Yay! SIM RESTARTS!!!

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
