Christmas at Devon Dream

 

There's a number of Christmas displays across Second Life, some large, some small. One I see every year is in Devon Dream, made by Safra Nitely. After most of the job was done, Safra invited me to take a look around. While she had been building for less than a day, already plenty had been done.

Devon Dream and Caledon Downs

There's a lot of Christmasy places to see in Second Life. With just one more day to go until the holiday, the Newser has two more to show. At Devon Dream, one can ride teacup bumper cars and see an aurora. At Caledon Downs, one can take a train to Santa's secret base. Plus not far to the north is something fans of winter sports should love.

Safra Nitely and Darkwing Village

Safra Nitely has gotten attention for her Christmas Village every year, and in the past for her Relay team "Ministry of Dance." But what she's been active the most with is her village in the sky high above Devon Dream for her closest friends and virtual family, "Darkwing." Well decorated, the buildings look like they're from the pages of a book of a magical fantasy land. The walkways connect the buildings, in addition to leading to the stables and playground areas down below. She holds occasional events at a small club. One Halloween party I went to, Safra had gone all-out with spooky trees, fog, and other decorations.

But Safra isn't quite satisfied with the area, fancy as it is. She messaged me to remind me she keeps looking to see how things can be improved. In this case, the walkway railings, looking to see what could look still better.

Much of the place is open to the public, the club being at Devon Dream (207/31/3992). it should be noted that some of the village is reserved just for friends and family, so if a place has a sign mentioning that, please respect it. Also, Safra wants her friends and SL family to have fun, so some of the village does have adult overtones.

Various Christmas Party Scenes

No doubt Christmas is a special time of year. And many places in Second Life celebrated. The Newser couldn't catch them all, but we did get pictures of several. From places with scantily-clad girls to the Sci-Lands to Christian areas, they all celebrated the same holiday.

See the pictures in Events.

Winter at Devon Dream

Safra Nitely, a friend of the SL Newser, recently invited me to drop by her sim of Devon Dream. She had been giving the ground area a Winter wonderland look for her friends and anyone else who wanted to come and see. Besides looking pretty, the place has interactive rides, a dance area for parties, and a few merchant stalls Safra is offering for free to anyone interested.

Safra Nightly, whom hosts a weekly event by DJ pilot in her sim's dance area contacted me and told me the day of the event had been changed from Sunday to Saturday. So it will know be known as "DJ Pilot's Saturday Riot." The party takes place at 6AM SL time every Saturday.

Interview with Pilot of the Airwaves (Otawan Fouquet)

You might have seen her at a few Relay for Life events by Team Ministry of Dance, or perhaps places such as the Taj Mahal or Safra Nitely's Club Darkwing. Her name is Otawan Fouquet, better known as Pilot of the Airwaves, or simply DJ Pilot, an elven lady whom is usually wearing her leather pilot's helmet. The Newser recently interviewed her, and she had a number of things to say about her time in Second Life, from how she came here to the clubs she's performed at, to how she met her husband.

The Oldbie Project – RacerX Gullwing

If you've been around Second Life for a while, especially if you're on the lookout for fun events to go to, chances are you've heard of the Giant Snail Races. This wacky "only in Second Life" event is organized by RacerX Gullwing. Shortly after his tenth rezzday, DrFran had a chance to interview him. Besides describing his first days around SL, Racer proceeded to show Fran around his sims. The experience was interesting, to say the least.
