Where Have You Been?: Two Sides of October
![](https://vcradio.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Where-Have-You-Been-S03E15-Autumn-Ride-of-Doom-01.png)
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, we approach the month of October in two different ways: The Briar Woods present a pleasant Autumnal scene, while the Ride of Doom lends a Hallowe’en-ish feeling to the proceedings. Both are well worth a visit!
We also suggest a couple of other venues that might be worth your perusal.
This show airs on October 25 and 28, plus Nov 1 and 4, at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific.

In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, we discoverJosain Zsun’s Expedition Central, a long-lived and enjoyably old-school approach to presenting links to places of interest around and about in Second Life. There are two locations at the moment, both with plenty to offer. One is hosted by the Helping Haven Gateway owned by Lily Swindlehurst, and the other is on the mainland in the region Chilbo.
This show airs on October 11, 14, 18 and 21, at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific.

The latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?” which suggests things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid, this time explores the mysterious Centre of Second Life where the handprint of Second Life is on the very terrain! In addition, we discuss Draxtor Despres’s 47-minute machinima, “Made in SL: The Movie”, commissioned by Linden Lab for the 20th anniversary of the launch of Second Life. It’s well worth a watch — and it can be found on the Linden Lab YouTube Channel — or the link below. And we’ll tell you about the region of Omidyar where you can see the Second Life Logo Region for yourself. And take a deep breath and wander the heights and valleys of the Forest of Karuhvel to discover what’s there to be found by the brave and persistent.
