Linden Lab have decided that Friday the 13th shall be a day of love this year, with a blog post of Valentine’s Day fun : Valentine’s Day Fun on the Isle of View – February 13th! Rumours that there will be camping and a host called Jason have been strenuously denied. Indeed Gray Of The Lab from San Francisco almost told me :
Love is in the air, Everywhere I look around, Love is in the air, Every sight and every sound.
The blog post informs us :
Come to the Isle of View on February 13th for some Pre-Valentine’s Day fun. Meet up with other Residents and enjoy all the romance that Isle of View has to offer – boat rides, fireworks, kissing booths – a treasure trove of memorable moments just waiting to be made with someone special.
Why February 13th? Because we believe in love, and there is still time to find a special someone for the big day.
If you’ve got a Valentine – bring them to the Isle of View.
If you’re currently looking for a Valentine – come to the Isle of View.
If you have several Valentines – well lucky you – bring them all to the Isle of View!
However I’m not actually buying their reasons for Friday being the day and a more realistic explanation is that :
I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too, Thursday i don’t care about you, It’s Friday I’m in love.
The Isle Of View it has to be said is pink, very pink, with a hint of red.
There are benches and lights. Places to sit, places to stand and adverts for The Valentine’s Day Marketplace.
There are new folk to meet, these bears weren’t too talkative mind you. I’m not sure if they were waiting for porridge or if they had never seen a Dwarfin before. I did try and lighten the mood with song :
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I’ll show you in spring
It’s a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
However, no dice. I think I need new after shave.
For those who don’t want to walk, you can travel around the Isle in a Swan that doubles as a boat.
If you do go, beware of Dwarfins hanging outside of kissing booths, they may well be armed and dangerous or wearing a Kiss Me Quick hat. Remember to pay a visit tomorrow!
