There are still a couple of days for you to see any of the SL19B sights you’ve missed! The even officially runs until tomorrow but, as I mentioned earlier, I think the regions may not come down until the 5th due to holiday schedules.
I still have quite a few exhibitor regions to get through, so I’ll get started.

Rhythm of Life by Tori Landau at SL19B
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Captivate/56/223/23

Explore Mainland!
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Captivate/189/224/23
This one’s near to my heart. I love the mainland. Photos of a number of mainland locations can be found around the exhibit along with landmark givers. Try not to get run over by the streetcar… like I did.
Light Breathing
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Captivate/228/221/23
Looks like a gathering area with lots of, unused, seating. There’s a group joiner and a subscribomatic, but no other information.

Teapot Steam by Clare Loring

Bryn Oh
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Captivate/70/62/23
Another installation by Bryn Oh. This is a large, spread-out piece. The EEP settings force you to walk the exhibit as it reveals itself to you gradually.

Joyful random Calamity – By Roxksie Logan – SLRandomArtCrew
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Captivate/61/22/23
An eclectic assembly from the aptly named SLRandomArtCrew. There’s even a cake giver. But the cake is probably a lie 😕
Snarly by Mac Kanashimi
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Captivate/31/22/23
A huge cube made of square pipes? Looks nice anyway.
Fantasy
Traffic is picking up slightly in the exhibitor areas as the week goes on. While the big events were going on, it was typically just me in a whole region. Now four or five is not uncommon and at the moment there are about a dozen folks down at the south end of SLB Fantasy. [Turns out there was a meeting at The Lighthouse. See below.]
