Where Have You Been?: Two Sides of October

October 25, 2023   Programming

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.
