With the 50th anniversary celebrations of Doctor Who in full swing, I decided to take a look at the Second Life events calendar to see what’s going in the virtual world. I discovered best in costume parties, a themed Giant Snail race and a couple of concerts.
This is not an exhaustive list and the only place I can vouch for is Giant Snail Racing, which is heaps of fun.
Some places may be more moderate so check any places carefully before rushing in, one does wonder what’s going on at place where Madam Mellons is the host, but hopefully it’s all good fun! Now on with the events, all times are SLT. Some events are taking place tomorrow.
