Liebe Clubtänzer und Musikzuhörer,

am kommenden Dienstag, den 9. Dezember gibts ab 20:00 Uhr (Vormusik ab 19:30) in der Musikalischen Rumpelkiste wieder eine "Wilde Mischung" in der Hauptgeschmacksrichtung "Fundstücke": Titel die Rubeus frisch "gefunden" hat und Stücke die er gut findet, Titel die er merkwürdig findet...

Drum findet Ihr Euch ein im GridTalkClub - wir freuen uns auf Euch alle.
Dear club dancers and music lovers,

Next Tuesday, December 9th, starting at 8:00 PM (pre-show music from 7:30 PM), the Musical Junk Box will once again feature a "Wild Mix" with the main flavor of "Found Treasures": tracks that Rubeus has recently "discovered," tracks he likes, tracks he finds strange...

So come join us at the GridTalkClub – we look forward to seeing you all.

Unter dieser Adresse kann man einiges an Arbeiten mit künstlicher Intelligenz finden. Das ist kein Grund die KI im Allgemeinen als unbedenklich einzustufen, ich verherrliche nicht die KI, aber solange noch ein eher naiver Umgang damit gestattet ist, will ich mir selbst die Freude machen.
Es wird viel geteilt in Opensim, eigentlich fast alles... die Sachen sind oft nicht aus eigener Produktion, ich nehme mich da nicht aus, wir bewegen uns in einer Grauzone. Deshalb dachte ich, dass ich etwas beitragen könnte, das ich wirklich selbst erstellt habe und somit auch die Rechte daran habe.
Ihr könnt auf der Region die Bilder kostenlos kopieren und verwenden, aber bitte natürlich nur mit Hinweis darauf, dass die Arbeiten von mir stammen. Jegliche Vermarktung zu finanziellem Vorteil anderer fände ich widerwärtig und ist hiermit untersagt.

John Mayall – Der Vater des britischen Blues

Wenn man die Geschichte der Rockmusik betrachtet, stößt man unweigerlich auf Namen, die wie Monolithen in der Landschaft stehen.
Doch hinter den glitzernden Fassaden von Bands wie Fleetwood Mac, Cream oder den Rolling Stones
verbirgt sich oft ein gemeinsamer Nenner, ein Fundament, auf dem diese Paläste errichtet wurden.
John Mayall war genau dieses Fundament ...

Klar – aber bitte mit Farbe, Spaß und einem Hüpfer mehr als nötig. 🧥 Wenn’s draußen fröstelt, kommt das Mantel-Mädchen mit Gürtel und Geheimmission. 🌸 Und wenn die Sonne lacht, blüht das Kleid gleich mit – bereit für Picknick, Pfützensprung und Puppenrat.

🌸 Athena Petite – klein, frech, groß im Stil! 🌸 Wer sagt, dass nur große Avatare den Catwalk beherrschen? Unsere neuen Outfits für Athena Petite beweisen das Gegenteil – mit Strandmode, die nach Sonne schreit, und Kleidern, die so verspielt sind, dass selbst dein Inventar kichert.

🏖️ Am Strand glänzt du mit Looks, die mehr „Wow“ als Sonnenuntergang liefern – leicht, luftig und absolut pixelperfekt. 👗 Und wenn’s verspielt sein darf: Kleider, die tanzen, bevor du überhaupt den ersten Schritt machst. Farben, Schnitte, Details – alles ein bisschen frech, alles ein bisschen „Ich bin hier, um Spaß zu haben“.

Kurz gesagt: Athena Petite trägt keine Outfits. Sie trägt Laune. Und die ist so ansteckend, dass selbst dein Avatar-Umfeld plötzlich besser gelaunt wirkt.

Ready for a little jaw-dropping wizardry?
Fred has outdone himself once again — the Great Oz has officially risen inside our Emerald City region, and let me tell you… this isn’t just a static mesh. This is a full, animated, larger-than-life Oz head that watches, moves, and commands the room exactly the way the Wizard should.

Perched above his ornate throne and framed in glowing lights, this spectacular creation brings the magic of Oz to life in a way you truly have to see to believe. Whether you’re exploring for fun, taking photos, or just want that nostalgic, spine-tingling “we’re not in Kansas anymore” feeling — this is the spot.

Come walk the green glow of the Emerald City, hear the hum of the wizard’s chamber, and stand before Oz himself.
Just… don’t forget to bring your courage, heart, and brains. He notices everything.

Visit, explore, snap pictures, and enjoy the magic.
The Great Oz is waiting. thank you @FerdFrederix !

three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Emerald City

Some regions are built from mesh and textures.
This one began as a dream.

I once dreamed of Japan — cliffs draped in cherry blossoms, walkways glowing under twilight, and water that shimmered like painted silk. When I told Fred about it, he didn’t laugh or brush it off. He simply said, “Let’s build it.”

And so we did.

But there’s one moment that sealed Zensational's Sakuragawa into my heart forever.
Two years ago, on Easter morning, I logged in to find the most beautiful gift waiting for me: the glowing blue bell flowers you’ll see along the river, created by Fred and quietly placed into the land like a blessing. No announcement, no fanfare — just a pure act of creativity and kindness.

That morning, the whole region felt touched by magic.

On this day of giving thanks, I want to honor that spirit — Fred’s imagination, his generosity, and the way he brings life to every idea I hand him. Zensational's Sakuragawa exists because he believed in a dream I tried to describe half-awake.

Now I’m inviting the OpenSim community to come walk inside that dream.

Explore the bridges and lantern paths.
Rest beneath the cherry trees.
Follow the glowing flowers gifted on Easter morning.
Let this region remind you how beautiful a shared vision can become.

Visitors, photographers, wanderers — you’re welcome here.

Come see what happens when a dream is met with friendship, creativity, and the simple magic of someone saying, “Let’s make it real.”

I am thankful for you @FerdFrederix 😘 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

There are actually users who create anonymous OSW accounts to claim that they use fake avatars at their parties, which is simply not true. Such people don't have the courage to express themselves with their real accounts—how pathetic.

Dear enemies, haters, liars, and false friends, we still have so much for you to gossip about!

Patience, Patience...........

Ci sono effettivamente utenti che creano account OSW anonimi per affermare che utilizzano avatar falsi alle loro feste, il che semplicemente non è vero. Queste persone non hanno il coraggio di esprimersi con i loro account reali: che cosa patetica.

Cari nemici, haters, bugiardi e falsi amici, abbiamo ancora molto su cui spettegolare!

Pazienza, pazienza...

Liebe Freunde und Bewohner der virtuellen Welten.

Today is November 1st and in just 10 more days on November 11th, we pay special tribute to our Military Veterans who served this country faithfully and as they say, "All gave some and some gave all". In that direction of thought, I created this memorial which is an upgrade of one I had done a couple of years ago. If you would like a copy, you can find it at the landing spot for the mall. It's free and full perm and waiting to help you make a beautiful veteran's day display on your region. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

In a mist-shrouded corner of the eerie neighborhood, where the line between the living and the afterlife blurs, a new home emerges next to the infamous Addams Family mansion. This house, a bizarre mix of Victorian architecture and Gothic grandeur, appears almost overnight, much to the curiosity of the Addams clan. Gomez and Morticia, ever intrigued by the unusual, decide to greet their new neighbors.

As they approach, the door creaks open, revealing none other than the ghost with the most—Beetlejuice, in all his chaotic glory. With a mischievous grin and a puff of green smoke, he introduces himself, reveling in the sheer oddity of the situation.

Be prepared to be entertained, 👁️👁️ https://three.hills.grid.outworldz.net/index.php/addams-fa...
