Yesterday I was shopping around and ran into my pal, Mariya Nesiote at some shop that had just sent out a notice for somethingorother. We decided - since we run into each all the time - that SL is really made up of only about 30 people…and the rest are our alts. Wait, I do have a point…SL can be a reall small place sometimes.

I belong to a group that I sometimes affectionately refer to as my “nerd group” - the Dr. Dobbs group in SL. We talk about business, technology, etc. I get to chat with reporters that I know and people I respect IRL so it’s cool. I also get to meet some very smart people along the way. One of those is 57 Miles. Wait, I am getting there!

Then the other day I read on Jelly’s blog that the aforementioned 57 has a new group called “Things to Do” - which basically sends out notes daily on new sims, cool spots, and random things to do in SL. So I join obviously because ffs, how many times can one person buy a flexi dress? Plus, I am holding out for something sculptie.

So today I had some time since it was a holiday so I joined the group over at the ING Renault F1 track to try my skill go karting! And may I just say, I rocked? Well, I kinda did a little bit even though Veejay Burns blogged that I was “was disqualified for several false starts and certain bends caused real havoc.” Well, I might have jumped the gun once - but the rest of the time, I just smoked ‘em. That is until Misacha Vaughan took over. She was awesome and totally put the rest of us to shame.

So if you’re ever looking for something to do - or at least want the option to not just shop, IM or cyber lol, you can join up and see if any of the places look interesting. I am not around when they typically do events (1 p.m. SLT which is way more Euro friendly) but I do tend to check the places out later and a couple have been very good so far.

You can find the group in search<groups and check out Veejay’s libelous post here. Kidding, I was a trouble maker and he called me on it
