I’ve spent a lot of time inworld lately watching live music and checking out a ton of shopping events, and I am always happy to witness the creative energy and joy that thrives all over the grid. There really is nothing quite like Second Life, or like this incredible community of communities. From creators and artists to shoppers and charity event organizers, SL has it going on. As we used to say in school “It’s all that AND a bag of chips!”
That is partially what makes coming up with these highlight lists simultaneously easy and difficult! Our editorial gurus have to dive in and narrow down the list each week to keep this blog on the shorter side.
Don’t forget that this blog is a shortened digest of all the wonderful and amazing things going on — you can always hit up the full Destination Guide for more, and if you’d like to share a cool spot that isn’t in the Guide, submit it!
Please take lots of pics of your discoveries and share them on our Official Second Life Flickr page!
See you inworld — it’s adventure time!
