OSG8B Party

The OSgrid Birthday party kicked off yesterday with a short speech and tunes by Dan Banner. After 2 random crashes and nice fireworks, the region behaved, and with 52 avatars on the region we had good fun.
DJ's  LadyJo and Jazzy were followed by Live performances of Joaquin Gustav and Whirly Placebo, but under the sound of awesome guitar tunes i must have slipped off into a weird dream. ( I was dancing with a girl with horns wings and bunny slippers, in a psychedelic world full of bright colors and rotating mushrooms and pretty lights). Anyhow. I woke up in bed instead of like this, and no headaches, so all apparently went well.

If you like to see the pictures and video's of yesterday's party, check here, here, here and especially here.  In case you missed it, there's another party tonight starting at 19.00 (GMT +1). The lineup for tonight includes yours truly, JayMaze of D&J's and the Maritime club on the road with live performances and DJ Stiofain.

Last but not least, check the OSG8B birthday displays. They include very nice builds. My personal favorite this year is built by my "online neighbors" Jim and Izzy. Go check it yourself to see why.
Red Dragon wishes a Happy Birthday to OSgrid and all connected friends and residents.

OSGrid Formalities & Party

All regions of Red Dragon have been updated to the latest version, and we have enjoyed our annual holidays this year. Whilst relaxing under the sun in Croatia, on wifi reading the OSG forums on the meeting last week, I can best quote Mr. Albertlr Landar of OSGrid Inc. :

""The main announcement that was made at our annual meeting held on July 5th was that OS grid, Inc. is now a Non-Profit Tax Deductible (In the United States) Corporation as the Internal Revenue Service has made that designation as of May 15, 2015.
Also any contributions or donations to OSgrid back to Feb 19, 2013 will be considered deductible. If you made a contribution or donation in those prior years of 2013 or 2014 and would like a receipt please let us know. You will have to file an amended tax return to have those funds refunded to you.
I will be making a summary of the chat, and answering a few questions that were over looked during the meeting on July 5th. In the meantime you can read the raw chat provided by Lani Global here: http://forums.osgrid.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5495. ""

OSGrid took good steps forward by becoming it's own legal entity. This opens many pathways to the future, and if you're involved in the grid any way, i suggest you read all about it yourself in the above link.

Next weekend OSGrid will celebrate it's 8th year birthday, and a nice lineup of DJ's committed to come play some tunes at the event. This includes JayMaze, Foxx, LadyJo, SnakeDance and Stiofain, and various liver performances by various artists. If your an OSG DJ or would also like to contribute to the event, please check this topic.

OSG8B regions online

This year, the OSgrid will turn 8 years old. A bronze anniversary. The OSG8B regions have been booted, which means OSG residents can fire up the creative engines, and and start working on a nice display for their cause /venue / region. The festivities are planned for 25th and 26th of July 2015. To obtain a plot for your display, and inform how you can participate in making this the best birthday party yet, you can contact any of the OSG admins inworld.

For the various inworld activities the event calendar will likely appear in the OSG forums. I suspect the annual "Celebration party", with long speeches about the good, the bad, and the ugly, and various DJ's & performances of the OSG residents, which typically makes for a great event. More news on it later, hopefully with a sneak preview of a build at the displays.

Meanwhile, if your a Gamer, you are in sale heaven this week. Steam, Humblebundle, Indiegala, bundlestars, G2A, they all have awesome discounts and offers, which include some very nice titles, for very few $.
