Prim Perfect and Ekphrasis talks at the SL10B CC Auditorium: Wednesday 19th June

Prim Perfect is sponsoring three talks today at the Auditorium at the SL10B Community Celebrations.

What lies ahead for the heroes of The Blackened Mirror?

First of all, at 1pm, Elrik Merlin will be talking to Zander Greene and Aisling Sinclair, two of the cast of the popular Treet TV drama series The Blackened Mirror. Zander (in real life actor Scott Simpson) plays Harland Quinn, the private investigator in a big dieselpunk city who is hired by the mysterious Alais Allen (played by Aisling).  They will be talking about the show and the upcoming series but … no spoilers! The show, by the way, is written by author David Abboy, who is also travelling The Long Walk at this year’s Community Celebration.

Ekphrasis Talks at SL10B Community Celebration

Then, at 3pm, in the next in our series of Ekphrasis talks, Rowan Derryth will be talking to the very talented film-maker Draxtor Despres , who has been drawing plaudits for his new media series, the Drax Files. You can see more details of that talk here.

Non Profit Commons at the Auditorium

And last for today, at 4pm SLT, Saffia Widdershins will be talking to several members of Nonprofit Commons about their work and about the role of nonprofits in Second Life.

Do come and join us!

And don’t forget the special Prim Perfect contest at the Celebrations.  Name the places In Our Second Lives, and you could win L$5000!

Prim Perfect Jigsaw at the Home and Garden Expo: Prim Perfect Taverna

Prim Perfect Taverna

The Home and Garden Expo has finished but here’s a picture from there again, of ourtaverna. And that’s because today’s Designing Worlds show is coming from the Expo.  More details will be emerging later (so watch the blog) but to get us into the mood, there’s the jigsaw!

The Expo was a great success and has so far raised over US$30,300 (that’s nearly L$7,600,000). It’s a fantastic outcome for a week of selling virtual goods and pets … but there were other huge pluses too, with the talks and the classes, and the opportunities for people to discover that they could become a part of this – and to discover their inner creativity.

You can find out more on tonight’s Designing Worlds show. But first … let’s do a jigsaw!

If you’d like to submit a photo of your own to feature as a jigsaw, send it to the Prim Perfect Flickr Group. It should be sized 800w x 600h, or else it will need to be re-sized.
