SL9B: Ten sims by the residents, for the residents

Posted on by Inara Pey

Saffia Widdershins, over at the Prim Perfect blog has just issued news that there will be ten sims available for centralised events during SL9B.

A formal announcement will be made on Monday May 14th, but Saffia notes:

There will be stages, resident plots, art plots, and there are plans to link to other community events across the grid.

There will be a birthday cake and a time capsule.

But there will be no involvement by Linden Lab. This a 100% resident event (which is being organised by some of the volunteers behind past Birthday and Burn events).

This is excellent news indeed, and congrat in advance to all involved for pulling this together.

For Saffia’s full piece, please go to the Prim Perfect blog, and make sure you keep an eye on it Monday!

With thanks to Saffia & Prim Perfect

SL8B Day 6: Highlights

Magic

R. Crap Mariner’s innovative musical poem and collaboration, “The Magic of Music”.

“The Magic of Music” – and no, in keeping with Crap’s wishes that his Exhibit is stumbled upon, I’m not giving the Surl 🙂

I came upon a grassy meadow
Up from which grew many hands
Holding violin bows into the air
Like magicians’ wands.

Read the poem in full, and click on it for the exhibit credits!

The wonderful KittyCats display.

Contemplation

The Japanese water garden and reclining Buddha. Set and relax; calm your mind and spirit.

Cake!

Happy Birthday, Second Life!
