Keep Calm – and wait for the mail where SL10B Community Celebration is concerned!

SL10B Community Celebration logo

Applications for SL10B are now CLOSED.

And there’s been a large number received: over 500 exhibitor applications, over 470 Performer applications and more than 350 volunteers!

Now they have to be sorted and approved, and that will take some time – but the team are on to it.  Acceptances for the exhibitors will start coming in the next few days and will continue all week. Please be patient as – as you can see – they have a lot to work through!

The dates that performers can expect to hear will be posted in a while, but that will be closer to the opening date of June 16 – at the moment, the priority is getting word out to the exhibitors.

Of course, if you contact all the people you know connected with the event to ask them when you will hear, things will slow down. So – please give them some space to get on with it, and you’ll hear all the sooner!

More about the SL10B Community Celebration!

SL10B Community Celebration logo

People who enjoyed last year’s SL9B advance videos (with the Angel of Death stalking the regions and discovering that, actually, rumours of Second Life’s imminent demise had clearly been much exaggerated) will be delighted to discover that he makes a guest appearance in the first of this year’s videos (once again created by the estimable Crap Mariner):

But the lead character for this year’s event is going to be a little different … and at the moment, he’s trapped in his own little world …

Enjoy!

And, in a little side excursion, Pattern Man also explains a clarification about the name of the SL10B Community Celebration:
