The 6th annual Home & Garden Expo, an official Relay for Life of Second Life fundraising event, is scheduled to kick off next week. This event brings together over 100 home, landscaping, garden, and interior design creators in Second Life for 10 days of exhibits and fun!
This weekend, Relay for Life of Second Life, will celebrate it’s annual halfway mark of the season, with the Halfway There Fair! Teams who have earned awards at this point of the season, will be presented with trophies and there will be two days of music and fun!
In part 2 of our series, Catishing in Second Life, we will take a look at how to handle being catfished and what steps you can do in order to get over the many emotions that come with being deceived in a relationship.
If you have been catfished, then you know exactly how you feel after finding out that the person you may have been in love with or had a deep admiration for, has been lying to you. You may feel anger, sadness, shock, and many other emotions at the same time. Normally these emotions give away to revenge; after all you have been hurt, right?

Check out some of the fun and exciting things to do and see in Second Life this week:
Art, Photography, & Exhibitions:
Future Worlds: Come to the Art India Gallery as two artists show their visions of a possible future. Future Worlds features The Lab by JadeYu Fhang and Mind Melter by Thoth Jantzen. Take the teleport at the landing spot and prepare yourself for something amazing.
The Nine Art Planets: The Art Planets is an art installation to give visitors nine different emotional feelings, reflected through subconscious minds. Inspired by a variety of immersive artists, this is one installation you don’t want to miss.
Virtually Real: The most exciting experiences in virtual reality are not so much the ones that totally alter the viewer’s perspective of what’s real as the ones that are able to expand, augment and enlarge the real. It is in its relationship with the real, rather than attempting to substitute itself for the real, that the most original use of virtual reality is found. This is Virtually Real.
Catfishing in Second Life – Part 1: How the Catfishers Do It
You have probably heard of the hit MTV show Catfish or watched the movie of the same name that inspired the show. According to the Urban Dictionary, Catfishing is “The phenomenon of internet predators that fabricate online identities and entire social circles to trick people into emotional/romantic relationships (over a long period of time)”.
I have had many friends in both real life and Second Life, as well as in other virtual worlds and on the Internet in general, who have been catfished. For this new series we will focus on catfishing in Second Life and what steps you can take in order to prevent being catfished and how you can move on after you have been the victim of this phenomenon.
SL10B, the community celebration that is in the midst of planning a huge birthday party for Second Life’s 10th birthday, has announced their first official contest. The contest is a photo contest, where users should submit photos that reflect the theme of the celebration, “Looking Forward, Looking Back.”
Feel the rhythm feel the beat over at Irie Vibes on the third day of Spring. This Caribbean themed club is for Reggae lovers all over the world.
You don’t always have to be on the dance floor to enjoy the music, vibes has a beautiful beach for you to relax on .
What? Is going to beach in Spring not a thing? Well it is in the Caribbean!

Wall of Fear: A strong and high wall awaits visitors at LEA 19: The Wall of Fear. Wall of Fear suggests the possibility of greater understanding, so face your fears and watch the surprising results and insights form. The Wall of Fear is brought to you by your first grade English teacher, Amalgamated Bank and Perdue Chicken.
