Promotions & Cornflakes week

Last week i've read an excellent article on Thirza Embers Blog, explaining all the ins and outs on promoting your grid / club / region / product / builds. If you are an Opensim user that feels your work could use more "attention" i urge you read this blog. Despite being in OSG for more than 5 years, some of the "tools" listed in the blog were completely unknown to me. (Bit like some of the brilliant builds where you only end up if someone shows you).

In 10 days, the annual "Cornflakes week" will start. If you have no clue what it means, you can read up on it here. The G+ group is also the place where all events in this week will be listed.

The OSG Friday party of the 26th of February will be themed and renamed to "Mad Friday" for the occasion. Expect a long & Fun Party with our wonderful Friday team of Hosts & DJ's.


This weeks Friday Party has new Danceball, as the updated ClubMaster 2.0 by Aine Caoimhe will be serving you your favorite dances and NPC Dancers.

OSG was experiencing some technical difficulties and apparently logins were temporarily disabled. (resolved).The Friday party only stops if the grid would go offline, and thus you can still join us at Event Plaza if you teleport in via a hypergrid account. Copy past this in map on any grid, and pop over !  hg.osgrid.org:80:Event Plaza.

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.

So much games, so little time....

Finished Dishonored, Sniper Elite III, and on 60% through GTA V. In case you're wondering why there's still a happy new years message as last post. Steam winter sale happened, and i need to find a way to quit work and live at least 140 years after today, if i want to finish all games in my library now. 1st world problems.

So, lets see what happened in the meantime in the Metaverse. More and more of events are held in the various grids, many you can find posted here and in the various facebook and Google+ metaverse related groups.  Of course everyone is welcome on the OSgrid Friday party which is still held every Friday on Event Plaza. Get in touch if you like to DJ a set or run a performance there.  

In the OSgrid forums i read people are making good progress on running Opensimulator on Raspberry & Banana Pi's and other nifty little devices, and on hypergridbusiness you can read all about virtual worlds & virtual reality, and all the gadgets which are starting to flood this new market.
For people that like to visit and explore others builds in groups, find the Hypergrid Safari group. Mr. "Pathfinder" wrote a nice blog on it (was published last year, but has all the relevant links and info).

Furthermore, i like to say hi to all my Russian visitors.  Благодарим Вас за посещение ночного клуба Red Dragon . Найти нас "inworld" путем создания бесплатную учетную запись на www.osgrid.org и начать приключение Metaverse сегодня !

And last but not least, we miss some friends, of which i sincerely hope they visit soon.

2016 Happy New Year

2016. The year of the Red Fire Monkey.
