TGIF

Each Blog needs a TGIF topic, and so does this one. Today is Friday, (at least, it is in this part of the world) which means it's Party time at D&J's Close Encounters Region. Hostess "Doro" and DJ "Jay" are active in OSG for quite a while, and run a weekly event to entertain it's residents. Visit and  you will find many of the "familiar faces" running around OSG, and possibly meet some new.

As you might have experienced OSG doesn't have a huge number of organised events, manly due to the nature of the home connections on which many sims reside, and many residents using it as private retreat, sandbox, testproject, etc. Red Dragon will start organising weekly events, mainly party's, but were also considering themed events, possibly classes, and maybe even some "live music". Keep track of this page and you will keep informed of where and when there's any action.

Since not all seem to have noticed, Profile, Picturs, Interests, Picks, they all work. Add your favorite places, so others can find the same great places you visit.

New Designer Furniture by D&J

Today D&J extended their existing furniture shops with new collection items. Come check out their latest designs, that can really "spice up" your virtual Life in OSgrid. Each of the carefully designed stalls, offers a unique "atmosphere". All have high quality crafted prims and and designer textures, providing you with the very best decorative furniture you can find. For more information on these builds, specifiq questions or requests, you can contact D&J's head designer "Dorothea Lundquist" Inworld.

Whether your looking for prims to decorate your bathroom, your garden, your beach, your castle, your diner or your lounge, you will always find these little treasures. Detail and perfection are keywords to D&J's products. Come check them for yourself at the Red Dragon Shops. Landmarks to D&J's other stores can be found in the same space, posted on the Wall of Fame. Also you will find landmarks to other points of interest around the grid. If you want your sim to be added, drop us a picture and Landmark to your venue.

Also if your interested in opening a shop, get in touch. We have quality spaces at our disposal for you, from single vendors and market stalls, to floors the size of a warehouse.

VidaVirtual Serving the Community

Since OSgrid made the jump to 0.7 a lot of time of the Dev's has likely been going to troubleshooting and stabilising things. (Thumbs up for that). Since the website lost some of its social functionalities, various alternatives have been provided by the community, like this very blog. And many others had similar ideas.

Today I registered at Fernando Olivera's site called Vidavirtual . Fernando is the owner of the Festa24 regions in OSgrid. His webby is a very nice community site, with all the features and whistles one could ask for. If your a OSG user, missing the wire, a place to upload pics etc, you definetely want to check it out.



Also other pages emerged,  like Open-sim.nl on which OddBall Otoole is planning to post script collections and tuturials, are worth a visit. Check out the links to the blogs, pages and other goodies. They are updated regularly, with all the stuff you just needed.

Well, back to the Band that Hijacked LBSA plaza tonight. Yeah you read it right. Sometimes, all wake up, grab their drums and guitars, they hop on the mic, and entertain the newcomers :) Spontanious party's in no script zone's. Curious ? Grab a viewer from the downloads and join us......

Events in weekends

In following of the great "Friday party'"s at D&J's close encounters region, Red Dragon Nite club will start firing various events in the weekends. Information on events can be found (and posted) in the event calendar at the bottom of this Blog. Our goal is to provide the community with some fun, outside the "maintaining your sims" role most have on this grid.

As we know there are many more DJ's than clubs in OSG, we hope to provide a podium where you can come share the fun, so if you feel like having a session, feel free to contact us, to schedule an event. We can provide in both the space to party, as in a stream, however, DJ's with an own stream are preferred (less strain on the sims, as these are on the same server as our shoutcast).

Also, if you have your own venue, keep us informed of what, when, where, and we will make sure to share your efforts to enjoy the community reaches our members and visitors.  If you drop us a landmark and picture of your sim / shop / club we will place it on our Wall of Fame, which is located in our shopping region.

If there are no active events, it's still fun to look around and grab some of the full perm stuff on the 9 sims the Red Dragon is built upon. You can find all kinds of cool stuff and places like : D&J's furniture, Fluffy's gestures, Lalinda's Finest, Perfect Pillars, Gallery Jorink, some picuters of Red Dragons history, *RDS*- Design textures and prims, a huge photostudio, 3 clubs, a pop podium, a cinema, our wall of fame, some very relaxed scenery's (great for Photosessions), skybuilds like our must-have Air balloon and  Blimp, and much, much more.

Hope to see you around @ the -* Red Dragon Nite Club *-
