The Sci-Fi Con is going on in Second Life, and yours truly has been at a few events. On Saturday April 1, there was a "debate" between people roleplaying as Na'vi of planet Pandora, and the humans on the world. There were also a number of tiny protestors, "Humans go home!" One of the Na'vi commented this was "a rather strange ritual," but at least most there appeared to be on there side.
Monday April 3 had a "Dunk A Linden" event. But it should have been called "Slime A Linden" as they were in booths that when they target was dinged by a baseball, down would come a shower of green slime. Madori, Sequoia, Wendi, and Izzy got more of the ooze poured on them than the kids in "You Can't Do That On Television." Near the end, Wendi, who was in a black suit and sunglasses, pulled out what looked like a penlight. Too bad those don't work on furries, or cameras.
And there were music events, with various DJs playing for the crowd with a Relay kiosk next to them instead of a tip jar. Among them was at 8PM DJ Snowbuns (Skylark Lefavre) who was in a Star Trek uniform that had a TNG top, but what looked much like an Original Series miniskirt. Some Trekkers might consider that the best of both series. Snowy would later tell me she raised several thousand that night thanks to a few friends coming by.
Snowy was still recovering from an injury that sent her to the hospital that weekend, but was determined to help out. This would be one of two events at least one member of Team Sunbeamers
was at that evening, the other being the "Monday With The Roos" Bring
Your Own Kiosk event.
There was a laser-tag with the Lindens on Tuesday, but yours truly didn't find out until it was too late to go.
There are a number of events at the 'con today, which is celebrating April 5 2063 as "First Contact Day." There's another "Dunk A Linden" scheduled from 3 to 5PM SL time.
May the force be with you, and live long and prosper
