Xmas Party in OSGrid !

OSG Friday party Evolved

Every Friday we have a party in OSgrid at Event Plaza. This tradition was started by D&J on Close Encounters region 8 years ago, and continued  on Event Plaza, with the help of some great friends and an awesome community.

As of this week, the OSG Friday party expanded. We now have DJ's Foxx Bode running in the European / Emea timezone, LadyJo Martin takes care of the USA timezone and Aussie Envee continues in the Australian / Oceania timezone. This means that wherever you are in the world, there is a party going, every Friday, also when you are awake.

We have a solid and awesome team of hosts; Mattie McBride, Alya Vonz, Ni Lemon, Jazzy Chatterbox and Atticus Finch, and all of us are are backed up by the OSG admins Dan Banner & Sarah Kline. Special thanks to these people as they keep the party lively, accessible, and orderly. They also decorate the regions at special events, all to enable us to have a great time. I don't tell them enough how much there efforts help to make the event a success.
You people are wonderful !

The party's are very well attended (thank you for that, we really appreciate your company), Since we  received applications of live performers, we will start scheduling these between the DJ's, so expect an occasional singer / performer to play live. NB; If you really like live performances, you should check the events issued every Sunday in the Maritime Club.

We like diversity, and also this year, we will make an effort to get your favorite DJ / performer playing at a Friday event. If your a performer yourself, and are interested, please get in touch. Mind that we don't have "application rules". The only criteria is that it has to be a musical performance, as it is a party. Whatever grid you call home, whatever genre you like to play, you're welcome to apply and fill a 1, 2 or 4 hour slot depending on your act. It's fun, and also a great way to promote your Grid / Region / Club / Music and entertain your friends.

If you've never attended, you're missing out on the biggest party's in the Metaverse, Join us next week, and bring your friends ! Nice DJ's, a fun hosting team and a live singer will be making an effort to enable you to have a great time. The week after a Mystery Guest DJ is scheduled. So hope to see you next Friday. The calendar here will keep you posted.

Party at Event Plaza

Thirza Ember of HG safari is organizing a Goodbye party for parting lead developer  Justin Clark Casey tomorrow at Event Plaza, OSgrid. If you want to thank him in person for enabling you to exist in a less buggy world, feel free to pop by and give him your regards directly. Mind this party starts at 12.00 and not 1 PM as this poster states. Entertainment is provided by LadyJo, Trulie, and Wolem.

OSgrid Rocks

It's always somewhat exciting launching a "new" event. Did we generate enough "buzz" to make people aware of it, will people pick up on it, and will they like it. You never know in advance.

I don't know the exact number of visitors we welcomed yesterday, but it was a heartwarming amount of avatars, especially for OSG standards. The first OSG Friday party appeared to be successful.

I'd like to thank Dorothea and JayMaze for their continued support, our great host team Mattie, Ni, Alya, and Jazzy for tending to all visitors and friends, Lani for making the great posters, and especially LadyJo and Dan who did an incredible amount of work "behind the scenes" to get this event launched and make it a success. And thank you as well. Without you, visitors, friends, and friends to be, we would not be able to share all the fun.

As it is the first in a weekly series of parties, things will change over time. We have a lot of fun idea's for the future, and will gradually implement those in the next weeks/ months. As of next week, our hosts will invite visitors into the OSG Friday Party group, Mind there is no obligation to join, but if you want to know "whats cooking", joining the group is the best move to stay informed.

So far for yesterdays news. Wednesday the 23rd of September a goodbye party organised by Tirza Ember of Hypergrid Safari will be held for parting lead developer Justin Clark Casey. It's held on Event plaza 1-3 PM grid time. You can find a poster on Event plaza Landing zone. If you want to thank him in person for enabling you to exist in here, feel free to join.

Red Dragon 7,5 years Anniverssary

In September of this year, The Red Dragon Nite Club celebrates its 7,5 years anniversary. The club was founded by JamesHenry Palen in Secondlife, and bought by it's DJ, Foxx Bode a couple of months later. Awesome years of party's followed, every weekend for 3 years in a row, in 7 incarnations of the clubs build. It had over 4500 members when Foxx retired from SL and built Red Dragon VIII in OSgrid.

The 9 region VIII build including backups was lost in a disk-crash, but i managed to get it recovered 2,5 years later by Seagate.  In the meantime Red Dragon IX and Red Dragon X were built, and both of those builds still exist on the OSgrid today. With almost 50.000 prims and over 2500 scripts on its main sim, Red Dragon is (one of) the biggest club builds in the metaverse. Unfortunately the regions are not very suitable to have wild party's with loads of avatars, due to the excessive load on the machine on which it is hosted, and the stress it put's on the average users viewer and connection.

Since we cannot let a 7,5 year anniversary pass quietly, we contacted OSGrid administration and got permission to run an anniversary party on Event Plaza. (Hehe, the irony. Having the biggest club around and not being able to use it for which it was built). Anyhow. Party is party, and the show must go on. Feel welcome, and bring your party gear.  

This event will take place on :

Date : Friday  11-9-2015 
Where : Event Plaza - OSgrid. 
Start Time : 11.00 PST ( 19.00 if you're in Europe) 

Music this evening will be supplied by Foxx Bode & LadyJo Martin.
