Last Chance: Favorite Social Hangout?

For the archive...

Where do you hang out in SL? What are the best places to find conversation? What are the best places to meet people?

Bukkake Bliss

Ahh wait i was banned from there .... ( Lawls ) I guess actually talking in the ( F ) house instead of standing around all looking at noobs with clothes on and male bits out is a no no .. go figure

Hmmm Violet? I like sandboxes too.

Forum Cartel hangout in Allana.

I'm a very non-social person in SL, but the Cartel is welcoming and puts up with my idiosyncrasies. It's often empty when I visit late at night, but I've heard it's livelier in the afternoons (SL Time).

Bump.

Let's make sure the forum archive has the latest "best of SL" info. Post your favorite places here!

I default back to the Shelter.

Dance Clubs, I would say Jazzy's 2.0 (WOMEN ONLY!).

Places to just sit and chat. Forum Cartel when it is busy....

well the one i hang at now is really not a place but a group that is really fun if you love Rock..
they do shows in their own sim but also in other sims..they are at one show a day now and like 3 or 4 on the weekends..

it's called the rock shoppe..
I'll just pull what they are a out of the group charter..

The Rock shoppe VIPs
This group consists of all VIPS from the sl tribute bands
Nickelback,3 Days Grace,Pink Floyd,Kid Rock,
Seether,Stevie Ray Vaughan,TOOL,Kittie,BLS,Kittie,Pat Benatar,Iron Maiden,NIN,Motley Crue,KISS,.... More bands in the making ... Keep Rockin \m/...Please feel free to join this group if you love to Rock your ass off..lol

i've been to quite a few of their shows and they are pretty amazing if you love great music and some immersion into really awsome concert reproductions..

Here was from Pink Floyd's the wall..
At one point when doing the song the wall a wall started to build itself..then at the end of the song the wal crumbles down on us hahaha
If you like rock it is well worth the Rezz time..

this was at the end of the show when all the speakers came crashing down just before they brought the curtain down..

Cartel Hangout, because we can rez crazy fun toys there to annoy the neighbours

I was just invited to join a place of Canucks called the Great Canadian Cabin which looks very promising but I haven't mingled much yet. It's tough to get into a new place, making it all the more clear how important it is to be nice to "new people", not necessarily just newbies.

I also like to hang out at live music shows. If the sound is good, people are happy to chat (well, not the WOOT-crowd venues. I avoid those. They're easy to spot upon entry by the number of mini-skirted frankenbarbies who spend more time dancing on the floor with legs splayed than then do standing up).

If the sound is bad it's even more fun, especially if you bring friends with whom you can heckle away over IM (or group chat

YAY!

Fewer turd nuggets standing around acting uppity and insulting people. GROOVY!

And the Hangout is having a combination Valentine's Day and Farewell to the Forums party this next weekend -- Friday night I think.

Blackhearts
The Cage

Anywhere without gesture spam, particle spam, DJs talking over the music, and Frankenbarbies is fine by me.

So I think there's a 16m micro somewhere that I can hang out on.


Hopefully soon my hangouts will be able to become my club and cafe:

Toadstool Club: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Voidicus/35/18/3501
Cloud Cafe: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fietzo/88/181/211

I'll have to think on this, the sensible thing might be to pull the Cafe and shift its purpose to the Club - since both are being angled as hangout spots.

LOL i guess i could mention where i live also..It slips my mind all the time..
We have a fun lil place where we have an event a night during the weeks..the sim is called Lost Heaven..

We don't have pole dancers or anything like that..just good dj's and a medium sized crowd that shows up for them..everyone pretty much talks with each other and the dj's get involved with everyone..

there may be a couple of gestures that pop up like at the start of a song someone likes or someone saying hi to someone coming in..but it's not spammed at all..we don't really allow it..

it's a nude beach but everyone has this joke that it's a nude beach with no nudity lol

the beach really isn't used much but yes you can go down there and suntan or whatever..You can dance nude if you like as well..some like to but there is no pressure to be nude or clothed..it's pretty free spirited.

but the main fun is just hanging for a couple hours a night on the dance floor..

i've worked in some small clubs and the biggest clubs my first two years in sl..when we decided to make this place it was to get away from the crazyness of all that and just enjoy meeting the new people that are coming in and enjoying good music and dance and some good laughs..

So if anyone wishes to stop by..we usually have something starting up anywhere from 6 7 or 8 pm slt during the week..there is an event schedule board to the right of the dj stage..

before i forget lol..here is the slurl as well..stop in if you'd like ..everyone would love to have you join in

for me it's Curious or Vanadiel.

I never really go to anyone else's content - I don't like silly rules imposed upon me.

Blatant self-promotion - but I love to log on ;ate at night and sit on the floor in my quiet restaurant to voice chat with a few friends until morning. Random strangers joining us makes it even more entertaining.

Being a repeat visitor since 2006, there are several places where I can almost guarantee a friendly and non-judgemental welcome on my various rebirths.

Violet Infohub - very friendly and lots of TP's to excellent free resources.
Transylvania (The Wall) - always friendly, even to interlopers like me.
The BDSM Forum - again always friendly, even to interlopers like me.
Dreams Sandbox - a really friendly place to practice building and a great SL movement.
Avilion Sim - beautiful SIM, always friendly people, just respect the very few RP rules.
Isle of Wyrms - populated by very friendly dragons, they've not eaten me yet.

As I say, by choice and inclination, I'm a bit of a repeat visitor to SL, cancelling accounts when I leave and creating new ones when I return.

When I admit this to people, I'm often treated as some sort of rogue.. in that I must be up to no good.. which I'm not, well not all the time anyway!

Despite this, I've always found the people at these places to be friendly and, more importantly, understanding of my little idiosyncrasies.
