Gayvie Events and Venues

Gayvie clubs and venues in SL are numerous, fun and hot. I believe SL has done a google on us, and the SL search engine prioritizes based on how much the advertiser is willing to pay. Ugh. Therefore, it seems on of the top clubs a gayvie might visit is Tristar. Don't get me wrong, you can find me hanging there frequently. But it isn't because of the content of the venue, basically it looks like a Howard Johnson's convention room which has been set up with a bunch of sex gear. The shag red carpet almost seems like it would be crusty from cum stains. This isn't a judgment call, heck, seedy bars are entrenched in gay culture. Whatever....

The sad thing is that there are SO many other cool gayvie venues: dance clubs, sexclubs, entire Sims (i.e. Brokeback Mountain), shopping malls, and places to hang out. As a newbie, its imperative to realize that not all gay SL is Tristar.

What is additionally needed is a centralized calendar of events for all gayvie venues. I know there are competing interests in the dance clubs, and this may never work.

So I went ahead and created a social website: "gay second life events" which can be found at gayvatars.ning.com If you already belong to Ning in RL, I suggest you create a new SL profile, otherwise yur RL profile will appear.

Gayvie event planners will have special access (i.e. be 'administrators') to post their future events, contact me for this. This will give gayvies time to plan for the event (i.e. what the theme is) and to check the calendar for upcoming or current events.

Also, there is an RSS feed from the site, which will help gayvies keep updated.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback.

Ciao for now.
