SL7B re-visited

Over the past few days, I have spent many hours checking out more of the live entertainment at SL7B.  Events like these are a great opportunity to hear a large line up of many wonderfully talented musicians, singers, performers and artists. I got to hear bands, guitarists (acoustic and electric), electronic musicians, a poet, rock bands, impersonator, comedians, karaoke, a marching band and singers of all styles. Of course with the vast variety of performers, there will be styles that are not to your liking but then there will be those that will move you, rock your inner soul. Here are some of the SL7B performers.

DJ April McCoy and her back-up performers, Ronald Barrabus, Nova Jarrico, Bradford McCann and Michelle Marendorf on the drums, played all The Beatles hits, hence the costumes.

Happy Birthday Second Life


Second Life has turned the big 7 "HaPpY BiRtHdAy" So that means it's time to party! Head over to SL7B and explore the 21 SIMs. They're filled with amazing builds, sculptures, exhibits, moving art, interactive instillations, poetry readings, DJ's, live entertainers Spanish lessons and much much more. You can even take a tour shuttle around the SL7B regions. It's approximately a 55min round trip. The theme of this years birthday bash is "Unexpected Collaborations" and the event runs from 21st June to 3rd July. For more info about this event, check out the SL7B blog


This is the main stage of SL7B. You'll find some great entertainers performing here.

Get ya groove on party people. 
You can't have a party without some tunes. DJ's are pumping up the music all over SL7B, spinning tracks pretty much every hour of the day. There are a number of places set up for DJ's to play their sets so you can get down and get jiggy with it!


I got to rock out with the stunning DJ Sierra Sugar at Stage 1.


As well as partying with DJ Davey Swindlehurst.

The next lot of pics are just a small hand of creative artworks that I came across while exploring SL7B. Plus to celebrate SL7B, many of the exhibitors have gifts set out for you all, so keep an eye for them.

Temple of the plywood apple by Istauri Arai & Ifrit Skytower.
Artwork quote “on the twentieth of may, two thousand and seven, the omnipotent plywood apple descended upon the grid. Dreams grew from the seed of the plywood apple, filling the grid with much beauty, their vivid sculpt maps brought impossible shapes into your eyes.”


Music runs in their blood...by pravda Core of Hip Hop Vamps 


Toxian City RP exhibit Here you can find all the information you need to get into some dark urban role play. A big thank you to my ever so brave patient, Rev Horatio, for allowing me to jab him with syringes filled with unknown but very colourful substances. The side effects should wear off soon Rev...I hope! 
*Grins* Hmmm...which syringe shall I try on him next?


Midnight Dreams by Nyx Breen.




You can grab yourself a free Dream spinner. Fly up and add yourself to the artwork.

Pipora Pepora

Welcome to Pipora Pepora
This very beautiful and serene garden, hidden under the waters surface, was created by seraim Short. Pipora Pepora is located along side Dreamy Moon (another of seraim's creations). The two blend beautifully into each other, creating an angelic world. Eels SIM is also the home of Sole Accessory, Elysion Optic and Lithium


Snow bellows up from the ground with the sound of a crashing wave.



Bird leg tables support large angelic wings.
