Journeys Across the SL14B: Resident Exhibits at Electrify

The Second Life Fourteenth Birthday celebrations have been going on all week. For us reporters, the biggest problem about the exhibits, many showing high skill and creativity, is that there's not enough time to write about them all. So one has to start somewhere. So here's a look at several exhibits of SL14B Electrify, which besides the Second Life Newser has the National Space Society, the Giant Snail Races, the Second Life Coast Guard, and more. Some were just displays, but others were interactive.

See the pictures in Places.

Inside the SL Newser SL14B Exhibit

Bergfrau Apfelbaum did a short animation of the inside of the SL Newser's SL14B exhibit. Matching the theme "Carnivalesque," Silvia  Ametza put in an aquatic amusement park ride. As our job is to inform as well as entertain, there's a model of the Solar System overhead. And the globe represents our dedication to covering events across the Grid.

SL14B Newser Exhibit Sneak Peek: Adjusting "The Hat"

Remember "The Hat" that was used to mark the Newser's plot at the SL14B grounds? It's been resized and made part of the exhibit, which our builder Silvia Ametza had been working on.

While some plots are still bare, several nearby have seen some construction. While I can't show any yet, stand by for some sneak peeks soon.

SL14B Update: The Second Life Newser Gets Its Exhibit Plot

On Friday May 26, those accepted as exhibitors at the Second Life Birthday celebration were invited to begin claiming their plots. Some did so right away after 12 Noon when the volunteers were ready to do so. Others due to real life or a desire to avoid the rush waited until later. Among those was the Second Life Newser. Right after being assigned a plot at SL14B Electrify, we were to claim it with a dropped object. Many did so with the Cake slice in their exhibitor packets. Yours truly chose something else, quite literally "throwing our hat in the ring," or in this case on the plot.

But the hat didn't stay there for long, at least the way it was shown above. Silvia Ametza, the builder of this year's Newser exhibit, was soon on the scene. And what took the place of "The Hat?" We'll have a sneak peek or two soon.
