I’m back from sunnier climes and straight into British Autumn, which today has been rather pleasant. I’ve survived the horror of learning that the Balearic Islands are planning to impose a quite frankly barmy tourist tax next year, which will only encourage another modern horror on the Islands, all inclusive holidays. Seriously, there’s no need for all inclusive holidays in the Balearics. The drunken debauchery is horrendous, and this is coming from someone who is no stranger to drunken debauchery, but there’s a thing such as moderation which all inclusive completely ignores.

I’ve also survived the horrors of the queues and prices of refreshments at Palma airport. However this was all balanced out by sun, sea, beautiful walks and very friendly locals who made my visit very enjoyable.

Now as I prepare to recover from my holiday excess I note that Second Life is preparing to get spooky. The Destination Guide has a haunted category where you can keep an eye on spooky destinations and Linden Lab are joining in the fun with a creepy crawl and a photo contest.

The creepy crawl call to arms went out on october 6th with a blog post from Xiola Linden; Second Life Creepy Crawl 2015 – Call for Venues. Alas entries had to be in before October 20th. Those who have applied to be a host venue should hear back from Linden Lab in the next few days, the plan is :

A-haunting we will go! This year we’re going to take inworld meetups and Halloween shenanigans and mix them together for a frightful mashup of mind-blowingly fun times.

The Creepy Crawl will be taking place on October 30th – more details to follow for those who just want to come along for the fun!

So keep your eyes peeled on the offical Second Life blog for more details. However don’t worry if you’re not part of the creepy crawl, there’s a photo contest that is still running and you have until November 12th to take part in this contest.
