Hey! The February SL Blogger party is next weekend and I hope to see as many of my fellow bloggers there as possible! I will be there with bells on!
I remember my first blogger party - I was ridiculously nervous. There was a choice of themes that we had to vote on beforehand - robots or 1920's gangster. The robot theme won, but I look cuter in flapper dresses than metal boxes, so I dressed 1920's anyway. I am certain that no one besides the darling Looker Lumet even knew I was at the party because I was so stupidly shy at it. I talked to Looker and to a plant. I am no longer friends with the plant, but I still adore Looker!
Since then though, I have grown into volunteering to host one! Yup - I am host for the April soirée! It is tentatively set for Sunday, April 20 from Noon until 3 PM SLT. (I will have more information for you as we get closer to the date.) I am hosting the party at my home - the Girl Wonderful Land estate - since I have lots of space with which to play. (And speaking of space, my former BF and sim neighbor , f00 keeps complaining - in jest I hope - that I have no landscaping and I am ruining the look of neighborhood. But I love open space - it has so much potential. And I have all those prims not wasted on things like trees and flowers. :-P )
Anyhoo, I thought I would stick a big dance floor in the yard, have a DJ on the upper level patio, get a dance ball, set up a bar and host the April party! There are also fire pits and a beach for those who want to sit around and relax. And you can visit the kissing garden that my SLignificant other, Jerremy, built for us.
And I am going to have "Hello my name is..." name tags for everyone and maybe we'll vote on the best one and have a prize of some sort. If you are coming and want a name tag beforehand so you can really get creative, IM me and I will send one to you. Remember that your name actually floats above your head at all times, so you can go wild with the 7 letters you have to work with on these tags.
If you blog about Second Life and have not joined the SL Blogger group, IM Zoe Connolly in-world so that you can sign up. You'll hear about the parties and other things and get to know a group of really fun people. (I have sent out lifelines to the group more than once about technical issues with my blog and have received great support and help.)
And, if all of this persuades just one non-blogger to start a Second Life blog, then this post was worth it.
I made two versions of this t-shirt - one with the writing on the front and one with the writing on the back - using the SL Profiles t-shirt creator gadget and Photoshop. It is ridiculously fun.

This will be MY very first blogger party, and I'm so looking forward to it. :) I guess I'll meet you there- see you next Sunday!
YAY! I will see you there!
ooh Tymmerie, thank you for adoring me.;)) Don't know what to say....;))
You can count on it, that I will be present at the next blogger party. I think I did not miss one of them since I am a blogger.
And the April one......is already marked with a red cross. I will not be available for any other activity on that day.;))
party?! Yay! will be my first too ^^ Can't wait to meet everyone!
I think that is the biggest laptop I have ever seen. "she says from her own laptop"
I am hoping to attend the party too and it will be my first one also. Woot.
I love your nametag idea, how cool. I will be Cranky, most likely, lol.
Looker - YAY! I look forward to seeing you next weekend and having you over for the April party! Wow - you have been to them all? Impressive! I will try to keep up with you!
Calaya and Sidonie! Yay! I will look for you this weekend, also!
Yes, it is a giant laptop...but it does some cool things - it keeps a log of anyone who gets within a certain range of it - so I can tell if someone has been by my office when I am not there. And if someone clicks on it, they can launch a web browser that brings up my blog automatically. You can also send and receive emails, set it to say a greeting if someone gets near, and set it to let people know if you are online or not. Say - would a laptop like that be a good prize for the nametag contest? Maybe I will have two prizes for first and second places - the lap top or a MystiTool hud.
But, I did take one look at the pics and I broke out my Hoorenbeek laptop for my desk and photos. It is much smaller, lol, even though it only opens and closes.
Oh, in April there may be mud wrestling. Just an FYI.
Honey, I can't wait to go to the party this coming weekend. It will be exciting to actually meet some of these bloggers that I have only read about so far. I admire all of you that take the time and effort to share your knowledge and expertise on all things SL. I am also honored to be co-hosting the blogger part at our house in April. I think it should be most entertaining. Oh, but one thing dear, it is chocolate wrestling not mud ;-) Should we sign up others besides you and the adorable Willow? For those that didn't know I offered to wear a title over my head for a week advertising the winners blog. Ok, originally it was for a week with me, wineing and dinning the victor, letting her have full access to my bare chest ;-) But now I only have time for Tym :-) Hey, maybe by April I will actually be actively blogging (and not filling your comments up so much), thus making this post worthwhile :-)
The Chocolate wrestling pit will be open to other bloggers for the rest of the party after Willow and I have our "grudge" match! It would be kind of funny for people to challenge each other - with the losing wrestlers promoting the winner's blog for one week.
I should add that anyone who wants a copy of my fancy dancy blogging t-shirt may have one just for the asking. I will go in and edit a version of it that is not a half shirt so you have a choice.
I might be a bit late the the February party (RL Dad's b-day luncheon) but I will be there! And I will dress in the suggested sailor theme, lol.
