SL11B Update

This weekend, the plots at the SL11B were opened. And that very afternoon, we were able to get our exhibit up quickly on plot Number 20 of SL11B Fascinate. Here's the top of it.

"The hat" comes from earlier Second Life Birthday events. The first time we took part, we were asked to drop something on our plot to claim it. Yours truly dropped a giant copy of his hat. It got such a positive response, we kept it as part of the exhibit. And so it remains.

We ended getting up Saffia Widdershins next to us. We were also close by the Auditorium.

The place was very well done, and other exhibitors stopped by to take a look at the virtual greenery that was there.

Exhibits are going up around us, but no one gave us an okay to take pictures this early (closer to opening day, we'll start showing some). But we can tell you the SL Newser exhibit no longer stands alone.

This is it for now. We are tired after a busy weekend. But here's the eleventh SL 11B video from Saffia:

SL10B Open to Exhibitors

Yesterday on Sunday May 26, the sims for the SL10B celebration were open to those whom would be setting up the exhibits, or helping out to. All day begining at Noon SL time, exhibitors IMed the SL10B group asking to be made part of the new exhibition group so they could teleport over to their plots. Since applications were closed on May 20th, the exhibitors began getting their notifications in the email. This includes Second Life Newser, which got it's notification a few days ago.

 
The Newser's plot is in the SL10B Astonish sim, the northeast corner of the event grounds. Like the others, it was 1024 square meters (32x32) with a 269 prim capacity and a 175 ft height limit.

Each exhibitor got a "Cake Slice," with a few notecards and things, made to resemble a slice of cake with the words "It All Starts With a Cube," a quote from Philip Linden.

Among the contents were "Exhibitor" tags to be worn by avatars. The title for exhibitors in their new group was "SL10B Exhibitionist," which got a few chuckles in the group chat.

Residents were asked to drop something on the sim to let everyone know the plot had been claimed. For the SL Newser's plot, there was one object that would tell everyone for sure whose plot it was.

A wider view of this corner of the SL10B grounds. A few other plots had already been claimed as well. While some just had a cake slice dropped, others had at least something set up on the plot.

A couple exhibitors looked like they already were set up for show.

It's still three weeks until the SL10B event begins, so there's still plenty of time for the exhibitors to set up their builds. Including the SL Newser, which will soon have something else in place of "The Hat." Stay tuned for more updates.

SL10B Update: The Sims Arrive

Last week, the sims for the Second Life Birthday arrived on the Grid. "However, they're not open yet." As of now, work is being done to divide them into plots for exhibitors, of which applications are currently being taken.

There's still two months to go until The Birthday, but a lot of work needs to be done before then. Stay tuned for more updates.
