SL10B Spotlight on... Commercial Exhibitors

I hope you've all had a chance to visit the 15 sims of exhibits! They are truly amazing. I will be spending the next several posts spotlighting exhibitors. I was fortunate enough to talk with several Exhibitors and, without exception, I have been thrilled to get to know them.

Exhibit: "It Takes a Village to Create a Home"

Exhibitor's Web site

Aurie: How long have you been building for the SL Birthday events?

Skye: this was my first year and it was a very pleasant experience

Aurie: Yay! :)   Do you plan to apply again for next year?

Skye: oh yes!


Aurie: What do you like best about the event, Skye?

Skye: I liked seeing what other people are up to in SL.  As a builder with a huge store I don't have the time to always explore as much as I like. Now I have several places I know I want to go see. I was also impressed with all of the grass roots social programs we have here. We hear a lot of negative things about SL but the event put things in a really good light overall.

Exhibit: "Flight in SL"
By: Spartan Industries
Contact: Public Affairs, Astryl Gunawan (astryl.bing)

Rising from the Dazzle sim; a floating hologram in the shape of a Spartan Helmet marks the "Flight in SL" display of Spartan industries.

Behind the Lynx Wildcat, or other finely crafted helicopter on display rises the IMAX style screen.  On this screen we show films of flight in Second Life and the occasional musical interlude ;o)

Come explore the Civilian or Military helicopter on display (these change daily) or have a seat on the sofa and look at our book of flight while you enjoy a Tim Horton's coffee and donut. Grab a frozen treat from our ice cream cart, or pick some free souvenirs from our gift vendor.

Remember to take your complimentary gift bag from the front of the display. and drop your pictures of SL flight in our mailbox to be displayed!

Enjoy yourself, and Happy Happy Birthday to SL!

Aurie: Do you plan to apply again for next year?

Smilemaker: Yes, definitely next year!

Aurie: What do you like best about the event?

Smilemaker: The variety of exhibits! This is my 3rd birthday celebration and it only gets better each year. Hard to imagine that this year can be better.
