SL15B Finale

I logged in to SL last week and my friend, August West, reminded me it was the official final day of SL15B. He tp'd me and the huge cake stage was literally imploding or maybe exploding is the right way to describe what was going on, following a show.  I was lucky enough to see so many pieces of the cake stage falling from the sky onto the spectators, bouncing around in all its beautiful, lit, colorful glory.  There are many videos of it out on Flickr and Youtube coming down, with pieces dropping and bouncing around the avatars.  Afterward we visited his friend Bridget's crystal tree exhibit then took the pod tour for a last look at the exhibits. I had to grab a few final pictures to save on my blog.  This is an annual Second Life birthday party/community convention, with many exhibits by residents, some huge special exhibits and tons of events, music, etc. The shopping area closed July 2nd and I was able to get my free 500L Blueberry shopping gift card they gave out to all visitors, which was a nice treat especially considering the whole event was totally free.   If you've never been to one of the past SLB events, be sure to keep your eyes open for next year's, as its a annual must see event.

One of SL's main singing sweethearts has some RL medical issues and her friends in SL are organizing a SL benefit for Toxie.  I've blogged about Toxie before so you may have heard me go on about how she's one of my fav SL musicians and I actually purposefully try to follow her shows around, which says a lot for me.  Anyway.. there is going to be some great music, special items for auction and other activities associated with the benefit drive Saturday May 12th and Sunday May 13th.  This ad poster was made by Caz, Scarlett Cazenove.

Penumbra Opens Today

Visit Penumbra at  Nordan om Jorden here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nordan%20om%20Jorden/128/128/22

This is a cool exhibit by a couple of my longtime fav SL immersive artists.  I've blogged them and their spaces before and they are well known for their sim and gift avatars in "Delicatessen" and the old Flickr favs.

The sim land reads: " Berg by Nordan Art is showing from January through March 2017 Penumbra by Meilo Minotaur and Capcat Ragu and lacrimioare by Huckleberry Hax. Make sure to visit Gallery M and L'annexe as well, all teleports are in the gallery." Space owned by Katebergdorf and curated by Kate and Tutsy Navaranatha.

Here are a few pics.  Be sure to click everything too as you can receive free avatars, the light child, Caterpillar, black moth, and tree.  Be sure to turn up your sounds too and use sim windlight settings.  Then check out Huckleberry Hax's exhibit too by taking the teleporter, which can be found at the landing.

Capcat Ragu and Meilo Minotaur have another stage in their Delicatessen Meta Body II sim.  If you have not been keeping up, these two have over time created interesting explores and now in 4 stages a large number of completely free avatars to discover and take along the way.  They encourage photo taking and machinima and have Flickr places to put these.

In stage one harvest your free avatars from the cocoon like pods in the tree.
In stage two grab your free avatars from a dark gallery hall of moving pictures.
In stage three pluck your free avatars from boxes on the side of a building surrounding a sort of being.
In stage four take the free avatars from glowing balls around the perimeter of a large tenticled sealike or alienlike creature. 

(Peter and I in the chess avs)

(Then Yesikita showed up to try out some of the avatars)

Sure, once again I don't totally "get" all of the build or avatars, but they are cool and fun to explore and experience.  I'm sure others have different ideas about what it's all about or means or maybe it's just for fun, which it is.  Go and check it out for yourself and enjoy the many sites and freebies to be had.
