As Second Life becomes more and more international, we can anticipate that the cultural offerings in-world will be increasingly more global and diverse. For example, this week you can attend a German Linux user's group meeting, a Swedish showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, an Australian jazz diva's performance, and perhaps the first Latin American concert in SL.
The Brazilian electro-punk band Montage will be performing a live set at Club Republik (teleport SLURL) on Thursday March 1 at 5PM. The Montage duo, formed by Daniel Peixoto and Leco Jucá, come from the underground world of Brazilian electronic music, known for their creative sound and extravagant performances. Sounds like a perfect fit for Second Life.
Also coming up: A virtual technology expo, support for alcoholics and people with HIV/AIDS, consumer protection, techno from the moon, and balloons in Antartica. All that and more after the jump...
