The Second Life Twentith Birthday Begins

 

After weeks of preparation, the Second Life Twentieth Birthday celebrations, or SL20B, are finally here.

 

 

The view on the map wasn't perfect, showing old sims and duplicate ones. But one can get a general idea of where the places are by the sim names. .

The main area is made up of twenty sims (one for each year SL has been around). Most are the eighteen general-audience exhibition sims: SLB Beguile, SLB Blissful, SLB Breathtaking, SLB Celabrate, SLB Delightful, SLB Electrify, SLB Enchant, SLB Fabulous, SLB Fantasy, SLB Glamourous, SLB Incredible, SLB Irresistable, SLB Marvelous, SLB Outgoing, SLB Sparkle, SLB Spectacular, SLB Stupendous, and SLB Triumphant. There are two sims there with not exhibits, but infrastructure of some kind: SLB Awesome and SLB Mgnificent.

East of the main area are the four adult-rated exhibition sims: SLB Alluring, SLB Daring, SLB Euphoric, and SLB Irresistable.

Just north of the main area are eight more SLB sims in two groups. The group to the left are the four that make up the Mandala Stage: SLB Amaze, SLB Astonish, SLB Astound, and SLB Imagination. To the right are the four that make up the Town Hall area for the Lab Gab sessions: SLB Dazzle, SLB Fascinate, SLB Exhilarate, snd SLB Wondrous.

 

 

There's plenty of streets one can walk down.

Among the many exhibits there is the one of the Second Life Newser, built by the talented Silvia Ametza, representing a science and exploration base on Jupiter's moon Europa, on and underneath the ice. It's located at SLB Fantasy (104/34/24).

 

 The exhibits are open to the general public at 10AM today. There will be numerous Music Fest events, but the main event is the Opening Ceremony at the Mandala Stage, at 12 Noon SL time, conducted by Patch Linden. One can head there at SLB Astound (118/135/23), or one can listen to it live on the Second Life Youtube channel.

 

Be sure to also check out the SL20B Shop and Hop (described in more detail in another article).
