Still got some party in you?? Of course you have ..... its then time to hot foot it over to Madame Lalas, based on the real life Madame Jojo's. Here you will find Dj Fierce on the decks, playing what can only be described as a flamboyant mix of tunes.
There's something very special about this club, and its well worth a visit, you will have one of the best times possible spent laughing and dancing.
That brings the events to a close for Friday but there's still loads you can do here in the best destination in Second Life, London never sleeps.

Simon and Garfunkle, **amazing**.
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel rose to fame in 1965, with their smash hit "The Sound Of Silence", well know for their vocal harmonies the duo were among the most popular recording artists in the 60's. They have a very turbulent singing relationship, breaking up and reforming once every decade, the most famous in 1981, in Central Park, where they attracted 500,000 people, making it the 7th most popular concert in the history of music, now we didnt attract that many in London , but close :P.
Then its all change as we head to Victoria again this time to our chameleon club Juiced, know for it daily change of décor this club is a must for a great night out.
When Sunday rolls around the last thing you want to be thinking about is Monday morning... so its Baileys turn to keep you amused and unwind form the night before with the Sunday smooth at Lalas. Bailey play the smoothest jazz and easy listing grooves perfect for a relaxing time.
Time for a spot of shopping in our extensive array of fabulous shops something for every taste and pocket, no need to walk either.... there's buses on set routes to take you on a tour, or a taxi, or why not drive yourself , its a great way to get around this huge place, and you'll look super cool.
Time to head back to Substation and more fun chat and dancing.
Then its left to juiced to bring your weekend to a close, Sunday we were all aboard the Titanic ... it was a very challenging build, but as luck would have it, it I threw a few prims together and it didn't look too bad ... though I was thinking, if it was too hard I'd have a room full of water, and say it had already sunk :P#
So, that's it from me for another week, I'll see you in London city for more fun and frolics xxx

Growing Pains
The London City estate has relocated to a less cluttered area of the grid.
Our old grid location was getting a bit crowded, with sims above and below and to the left and right of us, in effect boxing us in. So this move helps futher expansion of the estate and allows for growth in all directions.
Landmarks will work exactly as they did before and will take you to the correct location. Slurl's and the map will take a day or more to update, so please use Landmarks until the grid settles us in properly.
Now, a sneak preview of what's in store.. This is the Seven Dials area of Covent Garden, currently under construction and is located in our development Sim, "London Adult".
