I’m going to be making my second appearance on Second Life on Thursday, May 22nd, hosting a Dirty Limericks contest on Elysian Isle.
The event starts at 9 pm UK time, and the prizes for the best efforts will be copies of my new book, Tossers and Arseblowers: An Alternative Romp Through Europe.
Here’s a screenshot of the chat I gave for the launch a couple of weeks ago.
Sadly, my SL alter ego – Daeschner Renard -- is far buffer than I am in the flesh.
The next two weeks also sees a slew of events around Europe, ranging from Fire Dancing in Greece to Baby Jumping in Spain and the Cheese Rolling and Shin Kicking competitions in England.
