Beat That!

Woot.. high score!  Beat THAT! hehe- really, come ride the mechanical steampunk bull.  I currently have high score, and that's actually a decent score that I'm predicting won't be bested for quite some times.  But try if you like! :)  This beast bucks, spins, snorts, and flares but I think I have him under control!

On another note... ok folks I'm curating The Skywalk gallery on this same sim that is hosting a community exhibit and contest where we are asking YOU to slide a pic into a board there in hopes of winning some Linden but especially to have your image exhibited for fun.  This would be a great Valentines gift showing a loved one maybe a pic of them for the theme "What is Love?" .  Full details at the sim We'd love to have your poem, special words, RL or SL pictures about love which could be your hunny, pet, kids, nature, etc.  Please come have a look.  We have a lot of boards left and it's off to a slow start, although what is there is a intriguing variety.  Thanks

We want YOUR art (poem, RL or SL, words, images, photos, drawings, cartoons, etc)

                                                                     (Archivist Llewellyn)

Archivist showed me the museum and said when people visit the build area they can get a free space suit to wear like the one on display here in the above picture from the museum.  When you touch the gloves of the suit it has recording from the mission.    There are also recordings from the actual sputnik if you touch it.  There is information that tells the story of Apollo 11 from planning to launch, to landing on the moon, to doing science experiments on the moon, planting the flag and talking to President Nixon, to landing in the water, to the NYC ticker tape parade.  She added that she's going to be at the Armstrong Museum in RL during the celebration weekend, giving a talk on Curiosity Rover and Mars exploration.

This is an informative and interesting area worthy of a visit and don't forget the contest and events Saturday!
