There was excitement today in London City,  as Altamura announced a collaborative project to offer free mesh Bento Bodies in the Freebie Megastore.

The Jenny (female) and Robert (male) avatar come complete with mesh head, and are carefully designed to still support standard avatar mesh clothes.

Jenny and Robert are exclusive gifts, available only in London City.

With additional bodies, soon to be available in Freebie Megastore, be sure to make a Landmark and visit regularly, or join the group.

Bank Holiday

Thank you to everyone who came to London City's 9th Birthday bash last night.  What a great event.  It was great to see so many of you here.

This is a long weekend in the UK, with Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow. 

Catch the rest of parties today, with Worlds End Quiz on the Beach at 1pm SL, but first, ficking off with Substation at 11am SL time (7pm UK) http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/London%20City/25/221/17

London City 9th Birthday

It is London City's 9th Birthday Party today at 12pm SL time (8pm UK), so please come and help us celebrate as the City starts its tenth year!

Another Bank Holiday and another Party

It is London City's 9th Birthday Bash this weekend and its happening over the Bank Holiday.  This sounds like thirsty work!

Brits are crying out for another Holiday, it has been weeks since the last one, so most of the country is looking forward to a long weekend, with Monday as the Bank Holiday.

This is the final public holiday of the summer, with the next ones being Christmas Day and Boxing Day. 

This public holiday also marks a quick sell-off in the retail sector, to be rid of certain goods to free space up for the Halloween and Festive seasons.

There! I mentioned Christmas in August, forgive me!

So we can expect lashings of cheap grog and last minute sales from all the major supermarkets, with cheap sausages and burgers thrown in for the inevitable Bank Holiday Barbie.

As usual, as part of our public service, we've looked around for the best star deals on grog for this weekend as the boozy Brits sup their pints like there is no tomorrow.

 And they are.. Peroni, 12 bottles for £14 and Stella, 18 cans for £14, both from Sainsbury's.

Carling, 18 cans for a tenner, from Asda!

That concludes this public service announcement!

Substation Sunday

Last night in London, unless you were here, you missed the sensational Cuban Godness, Margarita Practan! 

A truly magical show.  Magical in so far as she managed to turn a 45 minute performance into one that seemed to last several life times.

There is more to come with Substation today at 11am SL time (7pm UK) http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/London%20City/25/221/17

John Holt on Saturday

John Holt in Concert, on Saturday!

Born in Kingston Jamaica in 1947, Holt was one of the biggest Reggae stars by the early 1970s.

Four years ahead of Bob Marley, in 1973 John Holt's Album 1,000 Volts of Holt became the first Reggae Album to break into the UK's Top Ten, spawning Top Ten singles entries for Help Me Make It Through The Night and Touch Me In The Morning.

Although subsequently eclipsed by Marley, John Holt is regarded as the first mainstream artist to bring Reggae music to the masses and he released 56 follow up Albums and toured regularly all over the world until his untimely death in October 2014, aged 67.

Join us on Saturday for original reggae with John Holt.

Party starts at 12pm SL (8pm UK) with the concert an hour later at 1pm SL.
