June has the Newser's anniversary and the Second Life Birthday, both June and July have Relay for Life events, and July has the setting up of the Relay track and the Relay Weekend. As a Second Life resident, I've found both with lots to see. The SLB has lots of exhibits, while the exhibits in the Relay are larger and to see everything you often have to get in there and root around. Some people celebrate the SLB with reserved enthusiasm, their love of Second Life compromised by Linden Lab's questionable customer service and it's seemingly indifferent attitude. The Relay in contrast has many residents with seemingly boundless enthusiasm as they're at the high point of a long event in which they raise funds for a cause practically everyone believes in and have lots of fun doing it. <br /><br />If I had to pic a weekend in which one can have the most fun in Second Life, this is it.<br /><br />But life, and Second Life, goes on. Some of the core Relayers are talking about the InWorldz Relay Weekend next month. The Steelhead and Sunweaver communities have began moving on in their own ways, the latter with a new surfing hangout where one can grab a board and hang ten. For this fox reporter, it means catching up a bit on news articles that accumulated in the "IN" box as I was busy with the Relay. The "busy time" for me is not yet over.Bixyl Shuftanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409792769906782556noreply@blogger.com
