Deva Loka

You have to watch this. Tattoo parlors, giant floating cubes of weed, half nekkid ladies, free weapons, castles and more in the YDG neighborhood in Second Life.

Check out the House that Benson built and take a guided tour of Deva Loka with Shelby.

Find much more background on all this over at Shelbinator:

The Young Democrats of Georgia lead the way as they often do in Web 2.0 communications, establishing a functional office in Second Life within a couple weeks of creating a couple of officer avatars in the virtual world. YDG Secretary Christopher Benson-Manica, a.k.a. Ataru Atlanta in SL, started with a sign on a small plot of land and turned it into a two storey building with free t-shirts for branding and a meeting space for group members in the span of a week. The SAVC takes a quick tour of the YDG space and the surrounding environment.

Oh, but I neglected to mention the most important point: the t-shirts worked right out of the box. About 15 minutes after donning my official YDG shirt, I popped over to another clothing store to find some fancy pants, and someone asked me where they could get a Democratic t-shirt like that. Drop a teleport landmark into their inventory, and bingo: recruitment and messaging accomplished.
