SL10B (Second Life's 10th Birthday) kicked off this week with exhibits, events, parties and many freebies including marketplace and inworld commemorative items such as the t-shirt, baseball cap, jewelry, and varsity jacket I am wearing in the photos below. The celebration, with the theme, "Looking Forward..., Looking Back" takes place over 22 sims. Here are some photos from some of the places I've visited. I did not get to see everything, but I added some additional shots from my explorations of the exhibits. Happy Birthday, Second Life!
 |
| The top of the SL10B Cake offers a great view |
 |
| The SL Hunt Museum includes information on this favorite pastime in SL as well as its own hunt |
 |
| Another fun exhibit is the summer themed one at Kittycats. You can also get a free birthday kitty here. |
 |
| At the DunCarron Medieval Fort you can get a free Scottish Hat and several other items while learning about Scottish history and representation in SL |
 |
| SL10B is also great fun to explore with a friend. The Eclectic Diversity Birthday Layer Tree features several levels of games including a photo booth to change expressions and backgrounds |
 |
| I found it interesting to learn about places and groups I'd never heard of in SL. |
 |
| This looked like a fun game, but I had no one to play with this day. I was able to keep the bopper. |
 |
| Of course, I can't help visiting every library I see. This one is from Lost Eden. |
 |
| Not sure where this was, but I enjoyed beaming up in it. |
 |
| This was a fun animation |
 |
| I didn't have time to view the entire "History Walk," but it looked interesting. |
 |
| My favorite exhibit, the Behemoth, a very immersive HUD-based story. This photo doesn't do it justice. |
 |
| Firestorm put up a fiery exhibit |
 |
| I thought this was the most creative exhibit I viewed. Do you see me inside the computer? |
 |
| Kind've scary, but it was a first responder's exhibit |
 |
| Arcadia Asylum had a detailed exhibit with some nice freebies |
 |
| In front of a Wanted poster at Arcadia Asylum |
 |
| Inside one of the 9 rooms of the Dreams Exhibit. Despite the fact the link from the Destination Guide wasn't working, I found this and enjoyed it. |
 |
| Another room in the Dreams exhibit. Most rooms had interactive props. |
 |
| Can you see me floating in this artistic exhibit? |
 |
| This exhibit with water and rock meditation animations was relaxing |
 |
| One of the scenes from Behemoth, reminded me of a fairy tale |
 |
| Astor put up this castle with a hunt for prizes including the castle itself. I found quite a few but not the castle ): |
 |
| Visiting the exhibits is exhausting, so it was nice that some featured refreshments. |
 |
| Even though Rainbow Gardens didn't exhibit at SL10B this year, I did put up some balloons and a cake in honor of the celebration. |
 |
Besides walking or flying, the SL10B cars were fun to ride in around the sims
