Ahem. I am taking this moment to apologize profusely to the good people of Second Life. You see, I sort of accidentally put my foot into your birthday cake. I was just trying to get a good picture of it. I am terribly sorry. I would suggest that if you would like to eat some of its chocolaty minty goodness that you start from *that* side. I guess I'll just take *this* side of the cake home with me. I hope that this does not ruin the party.Anyhoo. Obviously, I visited the SL6B (Second Life Sixth Birthday) celebration sims. After a quick exploration of them I am salivating to go back and see more.
One thing that I would suggest if you go is to take the roughly 30 minute shuttle tour which takes you past all of the sims. I have to admit to being slightly 1) rushed and 2) dumb. I could not find the central train station. I heard that there was a shuttle tour from one of the organizers, flew around until I saw a train and then jumped on at one of the minor stops. This method works, actually, since I did end up getting the full tour. [Note: There is a list of event starting points and main attractions here.]
The first time I hopped onto the train, it fell off the track and my little car ended up stuck and hanging upside down underneath the track. I could have been the first SL6B casualty! It's true.
Now, because it drives me insane when people show me pictures of their vacations without themselves in the pictures, I will nearly always show you pics of my explorations with me standing front and center - possibly blocking interesting items - just to prove I was there. (Why do people do this with vacation pictures, BTW? They could get the same picture on postcard. Prove to me that you actually did summit Everest by appearing in the photo at the top, for cripes sake.)
There is a lot that I'd still like to explore at SL6B. I definitely have to go back... ...if only to smooth over the frosting on *that* side of the cake.
One of my stops was the Linden exhibit which featured....guess what?Click this guy's foot and get your own SL6B bear.
