Each year, we do a multi language conference to celebrate all that's good, challenging, and fun about Opensim. This year it will be April 5 and 6... more about that in coming weeks! Along with the speakers and art events in several languages, most of you probably know there's also a big Expo park that opens before the event so you can explore and learn about your fellow opensimmers. Everyone can make a booth for this expo - the deadline of Jan 31 but let Thirza know if you're running late, we'll save you a space!
Many of you (like Bloom Peters, her booth show in in the photo) have already modded the basic Expo Booth, and passed it to Thirza on OSGrid for placement in the park, but if you haven't done so yet, don't delay!
You can get the basic booth at the landing area on HIE region, and there are explainer videos in a bunch of languages at https://www.youtube.com/@hieexpo

We invite everyone to attend the celebration of life and memory of Trizzy Hunter on Wednesday January 29th 4-6 pm CST aka 5-7 pm EST time. After the service there will be a dance party in honor of Trizzy at her region Daggers edge. Lavia Lavine will be your DJ host for the party. Please come and remember the legacy that is Trizzy Hunter.

Hi everyone, I hope you've had a fantastic start to the new year. Numerous texts informed me that no one was allowed to enter Dallas. I apologize for not realizing I was down. However, Dallas has returned, and as soon as I can finish cleaning up the Christmas and other stuff, a lot of modifications and new goods will be arriving. Come in and get the New Year's boxes if you haven't already, before they drift into space.

EUROPA FARM now with its newest vertical farm system - feeding aliens on planets around 10 light years distance!
To go there, go to SIM EUROPA, then at MAGABAGA INTERSIM station, teleport to there or other regions.
Enjoy :)

Auch ich bin bei dem 15jährigen Grid-Jubiläum dabei.
Und mit Sylvia wird es wieder laut ^^
Ich freue mich auf Euch ♥

I'm also taking part in the Grid's 15th anniversary.
And with Sylvia it gets loud again ^^
I look forward to seeing you ♥

Yesterday I was honored to have Thirza Ember and the awesome HG Safari group visit Aquamica. Thank you to all who came and a reminder to any who visit, you cannot tp a friend to a negative number here. Just rise up off the floor of the ocean and then you can tp others fine. Also, you cannot make lm at a negative number. Rise up off the ocean floor to make lm.

Why are there negative numbers in my ocean depth? It involves a certain blonde bulldozer driver (who is not a goddess) who enjoyed digging a bit too much and screwed up. ; )

Here is a link to my underwater store where most things are now available for you to build your own reef: hop://login.friends-grid.com:8002/Textures%20Trees%2C%20%2...

or you can simply go to Textures, Trees & Scripts

and then click on tp stone and select underwater store.

Also.....thanks to Thirza & HG Safari for the amazing write up and videos!

View from our Penthouse Apartment on Park Avenue over Central Park. We can see from balcony the UFO over little New Jersey. wow. The Central Park alone is 3x1 big. Whole sim is 7x7 and with off sim mountains etc 8x8. You can do a lot of things in Central Park. Swim in lake, Windsurf, riding horses, go on Concert at the Central Park stage, gather to play chess ... and much more. Like you do in Central Park in New York City too. lol If you put on sunset or midnight environment it is the right ambient to enjoy and it is enough light everywhere. If you want some worrying scary scenes you can use the shared environment with fog lol Of course, most people use midday environment. But ambient is not the same then to enjoy all the different aspects to feel the sim alive with all the people and traffic. For videos you should look on my rumble account. I posted there more than 50 videos. Perhaps it is recommended for people with old computer to see all alive. My videos you can find here on 3 pages. Most are 1080 pt videos recorded with my MacBook.

It's with a sad heart that I am informing you Ticky Tocky Grid Is shut down for Good. I hope you got all the Freebies you could while I had her running. Dur To Countless Fights With My Internet provider and down Time at night I have decided to Take Her Down Until I move In March. If There was something you wanted please feel free to reach out to me and I can see what I can do to get it to you. Thank You To Those who took time to visit. I guess I'm a Floater...LOL

Work continues at the Japanese display area under reconstruction at Lunaria Emporium. Added a large torii gate in a central lake. All items are separate and some are free and full perm. Perimeter walls and main gate are next, then I'll start on a larger, more opulent house, revised tea houses, a temple, some additional decor, and a Japanese castle. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get there.

Gracie and Dexter Dung Beetle, an official NPC mascot symbolizing hard work, transformation, and finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Gracie was not just a character; she represented the spirit of resilience and ingenuity that our community was built upon.

Unfortunately, some members of the organization decided that Gracie no longer belonged and expressed a desire to remove her. As an owner of the organization, this was heartbreaking to hear. So I have created a sanctuary here for her at my Sandbox, those of you wishing to visit Gracie and Dexter they would love your support. It is a public sandbox so if you want to place anything I will create an area for you. Thank you for all of you who did support Gracie and Dexter 🪲🪲 Created by @FerdFrederix-FredBeckhusen three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Sandbox

DJ Kith Presents "It Was a Very Good Year" at Hot Daddy's!
Region: Wyldwood Bayou Hot Daddys
Event begins: 2024-12-30 18:00 SLT
Added by: Kith Whitehawk✦
Details:
DJ Kith spins favorites from their 2024 Hot Daddy’s sets. It may not have been the best year in some ways for many of us, but the music at Hot Daddy’s was always great. DJ Kith has put together a collection of favorite tunes from all their different Hot Daddy’s DJ’s choices from the last year. You may hear Tribal one minute and 80’s Rock the next but all of it will be great and Tribe will be there loving it. What a super way to end the year!
