Scfi Convention 2015 video

This years sci-fi convention is already in full swing, for those who may miss it or just want to be reminded of what's there this season  a cool video has been made. Even the GFC booth is seen in the first few minutes.

Scifi Convention Update

As the date of the eighth annual scifi convention quickly nears, and GFC secures a place among the giants of SL scifi-dom. Securely nestled on the hilltop, the GFC booth is sure to draw one or two visitors.

Newly-updated for the 2015 Con, the info kiosks inside tell the whole story, and offer links to the GFC sims.

SLSFC8 Update!

This week I infiltrated the grand muckety-mucks of the 2015 Second Life Scifi Convention convening once again in their secret lair to discuss the supreme awesomeness that will be this year's Con.

One topic was the confirmation of the opera house from "The Fifth Element" as the new Cabaret venue.  Here's a few preview pics I snapped with my hidden camera:

Everything is still a work in progress, but things are starting to shape up.  The convention will no doubt be fantastic.

SLSFC8 Construction Begins

The construction workers have finally come off their coffee break and begun work on the public works for the next Scifi Convention.

The main tower in the lagoon is reaching skyward.  Welcome Center at sea level will offer direct access to and from ACS Island.  Merciless Ming's crowns the structure and will give patrons a commanding view of the whole Con.

The hilly terrain of this year's Con is making the public works a challenge to build, but the engineers have come up with a brilliant modular solution.  Teleport Hubs will have interchangeable parts, able to be shuffled and swapped around to suit the particular needs of the various locations.  In the example below, you can see three modules surrounding a tree module.  The colored dots will be teleporters to the other sims in the Con.

SLSFC8 Announced!

Second Life Science Fiction Convention 8

It's kickoff time once again!  The first meeting of the annual SL Scifi Convention was convened in the committee's shiny new offices on the planet Xin Caodi.  Twenty people representing the entire spectrum of scifi in SL met under one roof in peace and harmony, and together conspired to make the upcoming convention the best SL has ever seen!

Debbydo and Merky are heavily involved in the planning and building of the convention.  If you want to help, let them know!

DATE

February 20 to March 1, 2015

THEME

Futuristic Scifi Resort.  Think the Greek isle of Santorini mixed with ancient Atlantis, with a generous helping of... well... everything else in scifi.  The ground level of the Con will be built on a awe-inspiring terraced hillside, with many more attractions and booths high above in space.
