Visit in Second Life
So you can’t get into The Arcade Gacha Events because the place is always full. Never fear, there’s plenty of other events to attend in Second Life and a great place to start looking is the Second Life Destination Guide where you should most definitely keep an eye on Editor’s Picks, Winter Attractions and Featured Events.
However, something else you should most definitely keep your eye out for is the SL Christmas Expo 2014, which opens its doors to the public tomorrow.
This is an event that is dear to my heart because back in 2012, it’s the place where I discovered The Dwarfins!
The expo also held discussion panels, where creators talked to in front of a live studio audience.
Then of course there was the live music entertainment.
This year’s expo has a packed events schedule too, with live music, DJ’s, building classes, auctions and much more planned. Here to whet your appetite I’ll provide information on the scheduled events for the first two days :

I guarantee you that the Christmas fair will be just as crowded and laggy. Nowadays you have to wait until the events are practically closing their doors before you can get in to see their wares.
Its at times like these I wonder about all those stories of how badly SL is dying. LOL
haha I’m in! However having 8 sims instead of 2 probably helps there!
Yes, Second Life, is that still around? Really has a hollow ring to it.
