To begin a journey

Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do. ~Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973)

Area 54 Media Park is an inventive build full of ambient atmosphere... perfect for meeting a group of friends and exploring... a unique experience in the Metaverse... an artistic and scientific media experience by Thoth Jantzen.

As I am quite new to SpotON3D and VeeSome, both as a blogger and a resident, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you an experience, that led me to love this group of grids, this part of the Metaverse. If you are new like me, you will appreciate the feeling of wonder and creativity you find on this journey that you have embarked on.

I met with a friend, LisaMarie, who wanted to show me an amazing place, Club 54, in Area 54 MediaPark. It is easy to find from the link list offered at the “People/Places” feature of SpotON3D viewer.

Area 54 has a lot of features uniquely inventive in the Metaverse... and not just that. This place is perfect for spending time with friends or exploring on your own. There are several spots around the MediaPark where you'll find useful information, and can test your characters abilities. I will post more about this place in the future, as it is very fun and entertaining.

For now, let's look at Club 54. Sit down and enjoy the media display. Here parts of the build are animated! You can pick from a selection of videos to view against the wide ceiling. Sit down for a chat and enjoy the ambiance. Take your group of friends and dance the night away. Have a drink at the bar and meet other players that stop by. If you have a long IM conversation to finish, or just wish for some peace and quiet, find the secret spot inside a giant gem.

I think this gorgeous creation would make a perfect place for people to find each other when they log in and are looking for something to do and someone to talk to. I hope to meet you here sometime.
