Greetings from the SL20B - 20th anniversary and Birthday of Second Life

The celebrations have come to an end.
This time it was "futuristic" themed.


Somehow it was a bit stress, to getting it all ... in the short time.
I am not sure, but it was feel even more large, than in the past.

The builds was awesome, like ever.
You could have build the (most) of the Linden-areas in RL ... and them would get a price for awesome architecture. Ok, the hovering trees would not be possible.

Also nice was the availability of "adult rated" areas this year. I am not sure, but the other areas was this year "general rated" - wasn't them last years "mature"?
Useful seems to be also the different size of the exhibition areas ... there was also some for large ones, that was have only 9 spots on them.
Some was also prepared for an underwater-layout.

Well ... it was difficult for me, to capture all ... and doing the (large ... and also with adult areas enhanced) "Shop and Hop".
I am not sure, why - maybe because it was growing and became larger.
The resident exhibits I was almost only photographing, nearly none checking out ... and still running out of time.

I am also not sure, if some things was made to "blew it up" in the way, to make it look even larger - just for example (no offense, them are a tradition and funny events) I think, I was see 5 or 6 parcels with the "Giant Snail Races" (them was easy to recognize). Not sure, but sometimes "quality is better than quantity".
Also the different layouts wasn't it make easy to capture ... and walk trough - a bit more sorted layout schemes might be helpful.

The event was prolonged while running.
Honestly, the stuff looks awesome - it is a waste to take it that fast down.
Maybe the schedule should be different next years:
* active event 1-1.5 weeks (as now, too)
* using it for a "4th July" party (well it is beginning at 23th June, so it's close by)
* "Shop & Hop" winding down after around 3 weeks event time - it is work for the shop-owners
* Exhibitor Sims (and the Linden Areas) ... online to the end of July

But that are just my thoughts.
Until next year and the SL21B ...

By the way ... the drivers was also have a showcase ...
