BABS Monday Night Floatilla

The Bay Area Boat System (BABS) group promotes travel in the virtual world There.com by supporting a large network of landing towers for hoverboat crafts. Tours and floatilla events are set up by BABS for large groups of Thereians to travel around the There islands while making new friends and sharing good times together.

Join tonight’s Monday Night Floatilla! Everyone meets at the event location and several hoverboat crafts are set out for Thereians to pilot or kickback and enjoy the ride as a passenger. Hop on your favorite hoverboat and take flight with some friends. If the floatilla has already left the first location and you are late to the party, you can catch up with the flight crew in the BABS IM on the BABS Club Home Page and request a summons to the floatilla. Join the group to stay up to date on BABS events!
