Librarians in Second Life--of course!
Things to Do!
I suppose it should come as no surprise that "one thing leads to another" in Second Life just as it often does in real life. I went to see an SL acquaintance a few weeks ago at a Gadgeteers Geek Meet, which is sponsored by Dr. Dobb's Journal. It was through her blog I became acquainted with the Metaversed blog and found out about the Geek Meet. Then I noticed they have a group called "Things to Do." Before I discuss that, though, I want to encourage you to visit the Metaversed blog because they've got podcasts and great articles about the business aspects of Second Life and other multiverses.
Gotta love that Things to Do name! I have a fairly high IQ, but when I encounter simple things, I dumb down real fast. I remember in college when I applied for a job at a local factory, I was told I would be a Material Handler. I asked, "What does a Material Handler do?" And the human resources fellow smiled at me, and drawled, "Well, he handles material!" So don't let the name fool you, the Things to Do group suggests on a very regular basis things to do in SL (see this list of past goings on).
Being an sf buff, I went on their most recent visit to StarBase 3C. SB3C has several locations in SL as well as on the Internet. The SkyBar offered music, Free Video, and trivia contests every Thursday, plus what they call "casual roleplaying" where you pretty much agree to meet with friends and play agreed-upon scenarios. You could also purchase starships! At the Sky Cinema, you can park your starship and watch old retro sf movies. At Starbase Zerelia, you can park your starship and roleplay in a large starbase.
I've uploaded a number of screenshots from various events I've gone to in a folder called ToD. Joining the group is easy and free, just search for "Things to Do."
