Come early or watch the live stream on our YouTube channel for some fun conversations and plenty of soaked Lindens!
Also mentioned was the Valentine's Day-themed "Shop and Hop" that starts in a few days.
Look out for a detailed blog post coming up on Friday at 9am PT (when the doors for Shop & Hop officially open) with a full list of participating Merchants accompanied by direct links to each store.
In the meantime, browse in advance the vendor and blogger pics being submitted to the Second Life Shop & Hop Flickr photo pool for this upcoming event.
This stuffed bear is emblematic of the warm connections so many Residents find in SL. Give yourself a positive reminder that love comes in many forms with a coffee mug to start your day, or a pin on your backpack. Our furry friend will be available on a variety of custom accessories for a limited time, so hop over to our official merchandise store today.
By all means, Linden Lab isn't the only one planning something special for Valentine's Day in Second Life. And in the Destination Guide, they're featuring a list of several locations, one that will grow as people add to it (after some delays, it's been fixed so people can add to it again).
The Destination Guide Suggestion Form is now working, so make sure to submit your Valentine’s-themed destination soon!

Join our host, Strawberry Linden, as she tours One Billion Rising with Kess Crystal.
On February 14th, men and women in Second Life will join people across
the world and Rise to protest violence against women, as a show of
unity, individual strength, and the need for change. The Second Life
event will feature a four-region stage where 200 people can come
together to dance, surrounded by an area of art installations, an arena
for poetry, a stage for dance performances, informational exhibits and
free gifts. Kess Crystal will be giving Strawberry a tour of the four
regions.
While the Isle of View's entrance from Portal Park remains closed, one can access it on the map at Isle of View 2 (84/79/107), which is also mentioned in the Destination Guide. The Isle's sun is frozen at sunset through the clouds, giving the place a pinkish hue. One can walk down the paths, with lots of heart-shaped builds, pink lanterns, cherry-blossom trees, fireworks, and more. Or one can go down the water in a swan boat, preferably with your special someone.
