Happy St. Patrick's Day

 
 
 Today is Saint Patrick's Day, a holiday not only celebrated in Ireland, but also the United States, Canada, and a number of other countries where numbers of Irish settled. 
 
Second Life boasts a couple noteworthy locations related to the holiday. One is the Castle Blarney Pub, located in the Dublin sim. This venue has been in Second Life for over a decade and can be counted to draw 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."

Dublin (82/82/25).
 
Another is Castle Blarney in the Wilde sim. It's where the Blarney Stone is located in real life. And here in Second Life, making the journey is just a teleport away. 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 (yours truly has kissed it a few times inworld).
 
And don't forget to check around for St. Patrick's-themed events.
 
Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 
 
 It's St. Patrick's Day. And for those who want to see a themed location, there are a couple longtime ones that have been on the Grid for years. 

There is a Dublin sim, and in the middle is the Blarney Stone pub. It's active year round, with live musicians. 
 
WELCOME TO DUBLIN IN SL, GATHERING PLACE FOR THE WORLD ! Dublin in Second Life recreates the look and feel of the city of Dublin, Ireland. Events are scheduled daily. Irish Pub, club, bar, live, blarney, gogartys, shamrock, st paddys, st patricks
 
But St. Patrick's Day is special, with DJs and live music, late into the night. 
 
Don't forget to check the rest of the sim as there's much to see.

Another place to explore is Castle Blarney, in the Wilde sim.

Here, you can travel up and kiss the Blarney stone, which is a lot quicker here in SL (and more sanitary). 

The castle is part of O'Hare's Gap, with a nearby Irish village. Don't forget to check it out if you have a little time.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 *


It's St. Patrick's Day. Of the places to check out, there's the Blarney Stone Pub in the Dublin sim at (83/82/25). 

"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." Don't forget to look around a little as a nearby building has a few freebies. But so does the pub. And for those dropping by between events, there's a few games on the second floor.


Another location would be Castle Blarney, in the Wilde sim at (160/109/33). 

In real life, Castle Blarney is where the Blarney Stone is located. Legend has it those kissing the stone will be granted the "gift of blarney." Come by to give it a try. 

Don't hesitate to explore around a little. In a nearby sim was a Disney ride. 

And of course there are various St. Patrick's themed parties. Club Cutlass would have it's own last night with 1400 Lindens as the prize on both the male and female boards. Keep a lookout for others today and tomorrow.

Happy St. Patrick's Day


Today is St. Patrick's Day, which celebrates all things Irish. There's a couple noted locations in Second Life with Irish themes that are worth a visit.

One is Castle Blarney in the Wilde sim. It's where the Blarney Stone is located in real life. And here in Second Life, making the journey is just a teleport away. 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 (yours truly has kissed it a few times inworld).
