Rock out at Gibson Island in Second Life
My current favorite newsletter arrives Thursday nights in my email box from Gibson and check out the lead story:
Wow, Gibson now has their own island in Second Life (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Gibson%20Island/71/39/51) shaped like a guitar! I had to stop reading, jump in and check it out. Good stuff!
And when they see free guitars, they mean at least a dozen different guitars, including the current 2008 Guitar of the Month, the Slash Les Paul and Angus Young (AC/DC) Les Paul. This is most exciting build I’ve seen in Second Life in awhile.
Definitely take a few minutes right now, fire up your SL client and TP over to Gibson Island.
My pictures don’t do the gorgeous build justice.
Oh, and of course there is a Gibson group to join (just load this in your SL chat window: secondlife:///app/group/6546f4d7-6ece-7186-de91-6d2704bc5976/about or do a search under groups)
Free Gibson t-shirts, tables and chairs too. And guitar amp and guitar bags aplenty! They are also promising live entertainment from time to time. My only minor disappointment is that the newsletter arrived too late for me to be able to check out the live entertainment they had all day on Wednesday. Hey, maybe I’ll catch the next live line-up. Rock on!

[...] As someone who canceled one account and reduced tier to under the free 512m holdings earlier this year, I’ve asked myself several times what would cause me to return to using the site. Why should I keep paying for a premium account? Maybe it’s the grandfathered L$500 weekly stipend or the fact that once in a great while I’ll be reminded there are some cool places in there like the Gibson Island. [...]
