A Busy Weekend

 

It was quite the weekend here in Second Life this past weekend. Friday June 19 was Juneteenth, a holiday in honor of when slavery ended in the United States. From 12 to 8PM SL time, the Premier Business Center would hold a Junteenth celebration party. Hosted by Jarden Alexis, there was music. There was trivia. And much like a real-life Juneteenth there was food. Unfortunately in virtual reality, you can't taste a thing. 

 

 

 

 There were also DJs playing at the Second Life Birthday celebrations. At 2PM Friday June 19, DJ Minty was performing some tunes at The Salty Saloon, the one stage in the Birthday's Adult-rated areas. She commented she wanted to "sexbang the Lindens" with some Ninja Sex Party songs among her 80s hits.

 

On Saturday June 20, DJ Tantari would play at the Golden Palms at 3PM SL time. The "Mix Vix" had made a special track for the SL23B, and was playing it for the group of fans and SLB partiers. 

 

 

 

 

 

 Saturday would also see the main horse races of the RFL Royal Ascot. Sunday June 21 would have the closing party at 1PM SL time with music from Gabrielle Riel. Near the end, fireworks went off. This would be the end of the last major event of the Relay for Life. While a few teams may hold smaller events, for most the Relay is over until next year. 

 

It was quite a weekend. But with the Second Life Birthday, and other events this week, the fun continues.

SL Video: PBC Literary Event :"The Corsean Encounter" by Murray M Lee/Bixyl Shuftan

 

Readers likely remember the "Corsean Encounter" book event at the Premier Business Center on August 30.   Tara (ArtemisFlidais) would work on a video of the event. As I was speaking in text, which is hard to see in the video, she used a computer-generated voice, one that sounds better than I actually do (click here if the image doesn't play). 

 

At The PBC Fright Fest Kickoff

 

 Wednesday October 15 was the first day of the "Fright Fest" at the Premier Business Center. At 4 PM, there were dozens there, most in costumes and dancing away to the music. 

 

 Jarden Alexis, the owner of the PBC, was there in a striped outfit and makeup. The DJ was encouraging the crowd over the airwaves while dancing away in a green Power Rangers costume.

 

 There were costumes of all kinds. 

 

 That wouldn't be the only day of the Fright Fest. It's going on again today, Friday Oct 17, at 4PM, as well as Oct 19, 23, and 30. Between parties, one can explore around the haunted town, including an escape room.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. It is also a time to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the past and to recognize the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality.

It is celebrated every February in the United States and Canada, while in Ireland and the United Kingdom it is observed in October.

The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans.

Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.

The theme for Black History Month 2024 is “African Americans and the Arts”.
The PBC theme for Black HIsotry Month 2024 is "Black History Is American History/ African Americans And The Arts"
