JOIN THE PARTY LINE IN BAY CITY

Local Citizens host a party to celebrate Second Life® on mobile devices

BAY CITY, SL (22nd July, 2024) -  With the much-anticipated beta release of Second Life on Mobile Devices, Bay City wants to celebrate! Join Bay City Residents and many others to honor the big news with what we call a “Party Line” in the Bay City Fairgrounds! Bay City’s own DJ, GoSpeed of KONA Stream, will provide a lively set as we take to the conga line and dance the evening away.

The event name comes from the party lines of earlier times, where one could often find a conversation going on your telephone. Of course, with Bay City, “lines” generally refers to the conga line present at most of our events. Join in and jump in the line with us!

Also, while we’re not demanding it, now would be a great time for some 1950s looks. Feel free to dust off your summer jackets and shirt dresses!

This party is part of several community-focused parties to celebrate the arrival of Second Life on mobile devices. While not required to enjoy this party, Second Life is available now, for Premium and Premium Plus members, in the Apple and Google Play app stores. You can learn more at https://secondlife.com/mobile
