That link takes you to a list of exhibitors, there are a lot of them. The exhibitors are worth visiting because they demonstrate beautifully the wide array of creativity and interests that make up Second Life.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas my exhibitor visits may seem a little narrow, and largely fantasy based, I am looking at other exhibits, honest! I mean I could not spend all day on Serina Juran&#8217;s Elven circle wondering if the gifts are a trap!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Medieval Fantasy Grid Crier by Ciaran Laval, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/19064970346\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/424\/19064970346_9b69869af4.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Medieval Fantasy Grid Crier\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No, I moved on to my chief Elf&#8217;s exhibit for The Medieval Grid Crier, where you will find lots of information about medieval fantasy roleplay in Second Life.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Dreams And Wishes by Ciaran Laval, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/18903465830\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/333\/18903465830_935d2ffa8f.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dreams And Wishes\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not all though, looking further afield I was able to enjoy\u00a0AineMari Flanagan&#8217;s Dreams and Wishes exhibit, ok ok yes there are fantasy themes here too and it&#8217;s no coincidence that these themes catch my eye, but for your eye, there&#8217;s a vast array of choice.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of hard work goes into these exhibits and they help you find other interests in Second Life, for example not far from AineMari&#8217;s exhibit there is an exhibit by\u00a0H0neyHeart Resident promoting dressage in Second Life. I didn&#8217;t know that people engaged with dressage in Second Life and these are the sort of little gems that you discover by exploring the exhibits.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll blog later about music and entertainment and if you want to meet a Linden today then you should pop along to the <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/SL12B%20Astound\/202\/180\/22\" target=\"_blank\">Auditorium<\/a> at 1pm SLT where you will get two Lindens for the price of one, Patch and Dee Linden will be there.<\/p>\n<p>SL12B is a voyage of discovery in many ways, so really, explore whilst you can.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-url=\"http:\/\/sl.governormarley.com\/?p=5073\" data-via=\"Ciaran_Laval\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SL12B, like previous Second Life birthday celebrations, is in many ways an odd event.
