Recent Events, customer groups and competitions
The Easter bunny paid an early visit to Tech Expo this year with a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt - thanks to all who took part. After a frantic couple of hours, many L$ were claimed along with a variety of complimentary Tech Expo gifts. This was one of several recent promo events we have run on the sim. Many of you will have spotted the addition of different camping spots - including our Homage to theBlack Box day (thanks to all of you “worshippers” who came to pay your respects to the grand statue. It was a lot of fun!) Our newly formed camping group has grown in popularity and already has well over 400 members. One of our most popular and regular prize draw events has been the weekly VIP draw. So simple to enter - just make sure you are in our Tech Expo Update group (free to join, find in search) and have included the sim in your picks. Big hint: don’t forget to check you have enabled search on your front page of your profile so that we can add your av name to the random draw…
Sim Redesign
As well as running events and handing out prizes, we have been really busy redesigning the sim. You may have noticed the rather sleek new look down on the ground level. Blax now has a new hangar on the ground level as well as space on the main deck - you have gotta check out BB’s statue! Also, our lovely Trident missile has a very special spot on the ground (get the Thunderbirds look for yourself - this huge and potentially lethal missile is available from our weapons hangar on the main deck). The ever popular halfpipe has a newly sculpted isle of it’s own, along with various other islands. After a long shopping session on the main deck why not stop by our Cuppa Tea Island and enjoy the view over the sim? With the visual delights of Windlight, the ground level is looking rather lovely even if we say so ourselves.
The main deck has undergone some more subtle changes with the redevelopment of several of the main hangars. We are particularly delighted with our new AubreTEC display. AubreTEC are one of SL’s finest creators with a wide ranging product list of highly scripted, well built items. If you haven’t already checked out our display, make sure you tp over here next time you are inworld. You will not be disappointed.
The lower deck has also had a change around. At Tech Expo, we really love aircraft. Come over and check out our current display by Nikki Wilder of Wilder Skies and, most recently added, EB Aeronautica’s fantastic display. DefCon1 are also on our lower deck and specialise in Sci Fi craft. It really is well worth a visit. With a mix of permanent static displays and rez vendors, shopping for planes is much more fun at Tech Expo than just staring at a few posters! There are also some fantastic planes by Pink’s Planes and Darsh Lucero on our Main Deck too so there really is something for everyone. Whether you are looking for technically accurate historical replica planes, futuristic, sci fi or replica craft from hit TV shows like BattleStar or Star Trek, chances are we will have what you are looking for on the sim.
