Sinespace: Come to the Lost in (Sine)Space Sci-Fi Party, on March 23rd, 2022!

The Lost in (Sine)Space party venue in Sinespace

The social VR/virtual world Sinespace is going to be throwing a massive science fiction-themed party on Wednesday evening, March 23rd, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time/8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Residents are encouraged to dress up in their best space or alien outfits, and there are some serious prizes for the winners of the costume contest!

Star Wars, Lost in Space, The Jetsons?

The mother ship veered off course and crashes into uninhabitable Dystopia. As we journey through an army of unknowns, aliens, robots, and green space creatures, random prizes drop from the celestial sphere (Prize-o-Matic).

Please shop local and support our creators and designers for this event!

• Best in Space or Alien Costume: 5,000 Gold [Sinespace’s in-world currency]
• Second Place in Space or Alien Costume: 500 Gold

DJ Spiral rocking us into Space!

The location of the party will be the SOS world, but it will not be open until just before the event starts. Just click on the Explore button in your Sinespace client, search for “SOS”, and you’ll easily find it! If you’re new to Sinespace, here’s a guide I wrote up on how to get started; it’s intended for those familiar with Second Life, but it should work for anybody.

See you there!

UPDATED! Second Life Cyberpunk Urban Science Fiction Sim Hangars Liquides to Close

Wagner James Au, of the long-running SL blog New World Notes, reports that the Hangars Liquides sci-fi-themed sims in Second Life will likely be shutting down at the end of this month:

Hangars Liquides, a cyberpunk city created in Second Life by an elusive 3D artist known only to the SL community at large by her avatar name, “Djehan Kidd”, is among the virtual world’s greatest works — shadowy, moody, awesome.

Unveiled into the metaverse in June 2007, it has surely attracted hundreds of thousands if not millions of visits over its 12 year history. As its reputation spread through the virtual world, numerous cyberpunk roleplay groups flocked to it, adopted it as their oven, turning it into their staging ground for ongoing stories they created on the fly.

The blogpost includes an interview with the creator and an overview of the 12-year history of the project, so you might want to hop over to Wagner’s blog to read it in full.

I decided to transform into a cyborg and do a little exploring of Hangars Liquides before it goes away forever:

Vanity Fair is wearing:

  • Animated Headpiece: Queen Sarra headpiece by Shu Mesh
  • Cyborg Outfit with Skin Applier (Maitreya): Cyber Braver Lady by Bare Rose
  • Cyborg Arm, Cyborg Mask with Scrolling Japanese Characters, and Animated Upper Arm Attachment: Cyborg Geisha outfit (I picked all these up years ago in a different sci-fi themed sim hunt)
  • Cyber Prim Eye: by Omega Point (store no longer exists)
  • Animated Belt: VK Belt by Shu Mesh
  • Animation Override: Chubby Girl AO by [ImpEle] (free from the SL Marketplace). This is a nice, simple, calm, free AO with no crazy movements.

Vanity is also wearing:

UPDATE July 18th: Djehan Kidd has launched a crowdfunding initiative to save Hangars Liquides using Indiegogo. She has fifteen days to raise 6,000 euros (CDN$8,798) to keep the sims running for another year, and she is giving donors who give CDN$147 or more their own apartments in Hangars Liquides. So, if you’re interested, feel free to show your support.
