Well hello London city ...or should I say Top o' the mornin to ya, in light of the celebrations that took place over the weekend ...yes that's right , we celebrated St Patrick's Day. Saint Patrick is celebrated in Ireland and the rest of the U.K, it's generally known that Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland and has been since around the 7th century.
17th March is the date St Patrick's day is celebrated and thought to be the anniversary of his death, so in our usual fashion, we bring Real life events into the virtual world, so everyone, no matter where they are from in the world, can join us and experience a Real London feel, with all venues and events joining forces for what can only be described as a tremendous weekend.... unparalleled ... You already know how busy London city is everyday of the week, but I can reveal this weekend, we broke our record of people attending the sim... even more than at New Year, that record was well and truly smashed ... almost 72 hours of full capacity WOW!!!
It just goes to show how popular and awesome London City truly is :)
This phenomenal weekend was sponsored by DX Exchange, the easiest way to buy in world currency, with Regional UK HQ in London City.
As usual, Regents park sprang into action on Saturday evening, the crowds arrived early which I highly recommend, as it fills very quickly with our wonderful residents all wanting a great evening out, and watching their favourite stars on stage Live in concert....As it was St Patrick's weekend who better than the Dubliners to celebrate...
The Dubliners are an Irish folk band, their career has spanned over 50 years and seen many changes in the line up. The band gained international success for their lively Irish songs.
The band were regulars on the folk scene in the 60's in both Ireland and London, and appeared on the iconic Top of the Pops in '67.
We love having these old boys perform in London City, always drawing a huge crowd singing all the songs we know and love "Black Velvet Band", "7 Drunken Nights" "drunken Sailor", "Wild Rover", "Molly Malone" and loads of others too many to mention.
The free Green Guinness was flowing, everyone dressed in Irish clobber...great "drinking " music, fun free jig dances we really did have a whale of a time the celebrations started earlier than usual due to the crowds arriving... and went on well into Sunday morning.... There was a "Best In" event where 1 lucky Resident won a huge amount of Lindens.
The following day we found some residents having a morning work-out...recovering from the night before ...
Early Sunday morning, we had a barrage of messages from Residents who couldn't get to the event in Regents park....Upset they missed the celebrations ... so what to do ??? Put it on again of course!! This time the Guys took to the Hub in Sim1... A few choice invites out and BANG the sim was at capacity again...people arriving in droves, in a party mood, ready to sing-a-long again .. twice the enjoyment ...
All over London City, the whole weekend was given to celebrating St Patrick's day...All venues participated...
Substation started us off, Coffee, Bailey and Katty invited people to come along to come dressed in green... always a hoot here.. fun chat and golden oldie tunes.
The crown
Saucy adult fun...like your SL to be no strings fun ... then the Crown is right up your street,
like minded adults great music...what more could you ask for :)
As usual Bailey and Fierce added extra fabulousness to Madame Lalas this weekend, tongue in cheek banter and the best in toe tapping tunes...all go into the mix to make this one of our most popular destinations...what do you mean you haven't been there yet ???... then you are simply missing out...
Juiced also joined in the celebrations, Saturday we found the Juiced team on a road-show in regents park, inviting the Victoria groups along to Soho, this is always a giggle, as we joke the sim 3ers show the sim 1ians how to party... we had so much fun Saturday...
Sunday we were back at Juiced, this time the club was transformed into an Irish hillside ( complete with sheep) where we ran a best in green event with upbeat Irish songs we always have the best time.
This week we also had one of Our most popular themes "Alice in Wonderland"
I'm always speechless at the time and effort people put into their costumes, and I think Alice in wonderland event shows this off to the max.
The Worlds End and Soho also ran awesome events with St Patrick's theme....all in all we had a fantastic time, and more awesome news,
Loki found photographic evidence that Spring is here ....at long last .....
Well, that's all from me this week, I just want to say a huge thank you to Everyone who took part ans came along to London City... from our fabulous staff to our awesome Residents you all play a part in making London City the TOP Destination in Second Life...FACT!!
Huge hugs to all xxx
