Happy Saint Patrick's Day

 

Taken at Cafe Lilardo. The theme was "Best in Green," which led to some St. Patty's looks a little early.

Originally posted March 16, 2016. St. Patrick's Day is associated with not only with wearing green, but also drinking. For some, falling into enough beer to swim wouldn't be a nuisance, but a dream come true.

From LS Raccoon, whom is all dressed up, and dyed up, for the holiday of "th' wearin' o' th' green."

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

It's Saint Patrick's Day, the day that celebrates everything Irish. And there are a few Irish-themed places in Second Life.

One such place is Castle Blarney. It's where the Blarney Stone is located. Just head to the top, lay on the floor where the stone is, and kiss it. Will you receive the gift of gab (or be "full of Blarney")? Who knows.

Castle Blarney is in the Wilde sim at (150, 110, 33).

Another appropriate location is the Castle Blarney Pub in the Dublin sim. This location has been in Second Life for years, and always draws a crowd this time of year. So be prepared for lag. "Come visit the lively, always-exciting Blarney Stone Irish Bar in Second Life. Social events and live DJ music occur daily. Live music concerts are also held three times a week."

A favorite among shoppers this time of year is St. Patrick's Town. It's in Laura Liberty's Townies sim. There are shops you can get green outfits, as well as props such as rainbows and pots of gold. There's also a rainibow slide you can zip down, into a pile of gold coins. There's also a beer dunking booth, and a gold mine where you can find gold bars with gifts inside.

 In the Celtic Mist sim is Finian's Dream. The Destination Guide describes it, "A mystical and beautiful land, based on old Celtic Ireland. Come discover the secrets of the forest as you explore the misty woods, stop by the tavern, see the countryside, and visit a castle. The region was designed by Noralie78. "

St. Patrick's Town

This upcoming Sunday, it'll be "th' day o th' wearin' o' th' green" : St. Patricks Day. For those who can't wait to have a little fun on the day everyone is a little bit Irish, or you want to grab a few outfits and other things to get ready for when it is, one place to go is St. Patrick's Town. Set in Laura Liberty's Townies sim, Gemma Cleanslate recently gave the place a look. While some of the sim is for shopping areas to buy things, there's fun to be had for free from Celtic music to dancing, beer-themed dunking booths, and a gold mine mining cart game.

Read Gemma's story in Places.

Cartoon of the Day

Taken at "St. Patrick's Town." Among the goodies Laura Liberty had up was this Saint Patrick's themed dunking booth. With the love of beer some friends have, it didn't take long for the punch line to come to mind.

More St. Patrick's Fun

 St. Patrick's Day brought much fun to Second Life. Besides the events mentioned yesterday, there were other goings-on. One place was Elizabeth Town, with it's "St. Patrick's Town" up and running.

Instead of looking around the shops, people were dancing and drinking beer. Sim owner Laura Liberty was there, "Are you having good St. Patrick's Day? We just are drinking and dancing all day."

 Another spot was the Trotsdale pub, with had a St. Patrick's party that evening, the event publicized in the Luskwood community group, "Come on down folks, we're starting up the celebration here.  We have three DJs lined up tonight, starting with our good friend Dashy!"

There was quite a mix of pony, furry, and at least one normal human avatar. Usually the Pony community frowns on alcoholic drinks, except maybe for hard cider. But an allowance was made for this particular holiday. In the short time I was there, there didn't seem to be any sign of anyone getting tipsy.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day
