Laurel Arts Isle: Sunset Jazz Club

And, sadly, this might be one of the last chances to see the magnificent Isle.  You can find out why in today’s programme.

On the show, we explore with Circe and Vince Merrick the different stage areas including the Luxor and Memphis stages, and the Cairo Theatre – and we also visit the well-known Sunset Jazz Club as well as seeing the area where popular poetry and story-telling sessions take place.

And we also discuss changes in Second Life that are causing areas like Laurel Arts Isle to close.

Consisting of three regions, with an elementary school and downtown area, Pleasantville is devoted to the increasingly popular activity of family roleplay. Saffia and Elrik talk to some of the childrens, their parents and teachers, share in their Christmas activities, and find out why family roleplay is such a special thing in so many people’s Second Lives.

We are joined by some of the residents of the town, adults and children, including Mindy Metaluna, Pleasantville owner and principal of the Hardknock Elementary School, Maisie Netizen – teacher and home-owner, the designer ßαßу Åηgεℓ Åυɤα and three of Pleasantville’s younger generation who show Elrik some of the sights: Caitlyn Bayn, Randee Rose Bayn and Pinkie Denimore Benelli. And there are many others who give us a wonderfully warm welcome to Pleasantville – even if the weather is decidedly frosty!

Designing Worlds wishes you all a Pleasantville Christmas!

Join us at 2pm SLT today, Monday 12th December, at our new studio in Garden of Dreams2 as we pay a seasonal visit to Pleasantville, home of families and a very busy school, set in a small but bustling town.

Designing Worlds discovers the rich world of Retropolis

Saffia and Elrik visit the extraordinarily varied region of Retropolis in the company of its creators, Tricia Farella and Terra Volitant. From a ship on a stormy sea, to a tropical treasure island, to an eerie tower and an atmospheric swamp, Retropolis provides all you need to create your own quest, roleplay or simply hang out in these beautifully-detailed environments.

Join us at 2pm SLT today, Monday 28th November, at our new studio in Garden of Dreams2 for a trip to the stunningly beautiful and richly detailed world of Retropolis.

We’ll be accompanied by the owners and designers, Tricia Farella and Terra Volitant , who will be showing us some of the wonderful diverse locations and activities this sim contains. We only have time to show you a short selection – but it ranges from romantic beaches and jacuzzis to wrestling with gigantic monsters in a storm on the high seas and exploring deadly but beautiful swamps.  And to cap it all, there’s an amazing nightclub!

There’s a brief taster of some of what’s to come at our Designing Worlds channel on You Tube – but this is just a toe in the water!
