Xiola Linden has urged people to get their costumes ready and join some Lindens on a five hour creepy crawl tour on Friday October 30th. In the linked blog post Xiola says :
It’s creepy, and kooky and you don’t want to miss it!
This Friday, October 30th from 10:00am SLT until 3:00pm SLT – you are most cordially invited to join us inworld for the 2015 Second Life Creepy Crawl! “What is the Creepy Crawl?” you may ask. It’s a scary-good inworld event where Lindens and Residents get dressed up in their best Halloween costumes and roam from spooky spot to spooky spot for music, dancing, and celebrating! It’s going to be a bit like a ‘pub crawl’ without the need for taxi fare.
Costumes are strongly encouraged for this event – some come out and show off your best. I am still deciding between 4 different costume choices I’ve put together and may have to wear all 4 at some point during the crawl. It’s a good thing we’ll have 5 hours to run amok and have fantastical fun. Just keep in mind that this event is for General and Moderate audiences when perfecting your look.
Xiola is a lady of many outfits it should be pointed out. However Xiola won’t be the only Linden on the tour, although the names of the others have so far been kept under wraps there’s a good chance you’ll get to see Lindens inworld, yes they really do make inworld appearances.
The creepy crawl will start in Bay City on the Second Life mainland at 10:00am SLT and end at the Linden Lab created Haunted Halloween tour which can be accessed via Portal Park. Nine venues will be included in the tour and they include attractions, charity venues, clubs and venues created with Halloween in mind.
Visits to most venues will last around half an hour, although you can stay for longer if you want, but the rest of the group may leave you behind and some of these places look creepy!
The planned itinerary is as follows :
- Bay City Hallowe’en Hay Maze – 10:00am – 10:30am SLT
- Dance Island – 10:30am – 11:00am SLT
- Vampyr Empire – 11:00 – 11:30am SLT
- The Truth About Bats & Avies – 11:30am – 12:00 noon SLT
- Pumpkin Town 2015 – 12:00 noon – 12:30pm SLT
- Club End of Days – 12:30pm – 1:00pm SLT
- American Cancer Society – 1:00pm – 1:30pm SLT
- AEG Haunted Beach – 1:30pm – 2:00pm SLT
- Haunted Halloween Tour – 2:00pm – 3:00pm SLT
Now one more important thing to remember is daylight savings, or the lack of so far in some parts of the world, such as San Francisco. SLT is not where it usually is for people in the UK for example. SLT is usually 8 hours behind UK time, but at the moment SLT is only 7 hours behind UK time because in the UK we turned our clocks back last weekend. Got it?
Ok, dust off your outfits and get ready to crawl.
I don’t think the choice of name for this event was very well thought out. Creepy Crawl is what Charles Manson called his night time raids on homes.
Yes that could cause some offence. I didn’t realise that was the case.
