St Louis Arch

Well look what happens when I procrastinate-get a bunch of blogs in a week :)

Like I said before one of the things I like best about places in SL are that they can be so realistic. So today's post is all about the St. Louis Arch.
The arch
OOO nice right. Looks just like it.


One of the neat things about this place is it's interactive. Under and around the arch there are kiosks where you can click and go the Arch website and purchase tickets.


Buy tickets online


Under the arch you can wait in line (which there hardly is every any, not like RL)

Ahh no lines-not like RL


You can also click the computer to get information about the arch.


Click the website

And even though you can't physically go up in a elevator, you can fly up to the top!! I love flying in SL.


View from top

There is also a boat right by where you teleport in which just reminds me of McDonald's now I haven't been to the arch in like 12 years so maybe there isn't even a riverboat McDonald's anymore.


The boat

Oh and make sure you get a free tee shirt while you are there :)

U2 Concert

I guess since I have some pictures from this I can post it.

Second Life is big on music-whether it is real life people singing, or just dance clubs it is every where. You can use the search button and find events (search live music) this was one of the first things I did.

You can also join groups (up to 25 and if you become addicted to SL you soon realize 25 is not enough). I'm a huge u2 fan in RL so I joined the U2 in SL group. Last December I got a notice that there was going to be a concert. There was going to be avatars that look like the band and they will play music from a concert the band played in RL. Now when I got this I remembered seeing a Youtube video of the concert in SL when I was trying to find another video. When I saw it I had no clue what SL was or what the concert was but it was neat.

So I went to the one in December and last month they had another one.

Anyway-when you first get there you had to deprim (take off all your clothes attachments, I should probably make a SL lingo post). So anyway this is what I look like deprimed.

I actually don't look that bad bald :)

So anyway the concert was so cool. They do special effects with the sky and the avatars do the same thing the band does as if you would have seen them in RL.

Here some more pictures.

U2!!!

SL has U2 concerts

So what is the point of this post........Go and listen to some SL music, whether is just a dance club with jazz music or someone actually singing go do it :)

Ack so lazy...

I have been so busy in Rl with homework and other things, so I haven't really done anything as far as blog. So bad I know two posts in and it's already not going very well.

Well the main reason why is because there is a little in SL called grid wide hunts where you get free stuff-well there have been one after another for the past month so basically that's all I have been doing.

Oh and I have been doing other things too. Like....
I rented a house (although now I'm in a new one)

My house

Got a job, I'm a hostess at Franks a jazz club

Got a job-Franks

And most importantly I bought a dog.

Taking a bath

I love Toby so much, he's so cute. He's like a real dog, all he does is run around and sleep :)

Passed out :)
