While I love the interior of the new Majestic Ballroom and don't want to change a thing, I am not happy at all with the exterior (pictured), since I feel it doesn't sufficiently capture the Art Deco style. So I'm pulling the venue for now to rework the outer facade. There is a ton of architectural inspiration all over the world to draw from. I'll send upgrades to those who have already purchased the current version once it is complete.

The Latest Edition of Bla Bla Bla Magazine is Out Now!
Titled: Bla Bla Bla - May, Issue 8, 2025
(HUD Version can be got in the Bla Bla Bla Group on AMV or at in the Main Landing Point at the Alternate Metaverse Region.)

ALSO... Check it out online at: https://alternatemetaverse.com/main/index.php?ccat=bla

A damage enabled fae region full of surprises and pretty (and dangerous) things. Some basic skills like knowing how to run and jump, will keep you alive a little longer. Things are random, even I frequently die there! There's a book of hints at the landing bay, showing how to collect health points. You'll need them. Some areas are quite harmless, some are deadly. Plenty of stuff is copyable, although probably easily found elsewhere in opensim.

Now don't panic about dying - it simply means you will be sent to your Home region where your health will be completely and instantly restored. It's just a game :)

"Escape the ordinary. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary.

Club Xtasy Beach presents an afternoon of sonic exploration with the visionary DJ Hydra. Join us this Friday as he crafts a vibrant soundscape, weaving together pulsating club beats within the immersive realm of Exotic Realities.

Let the ocean breeze and hypnotic rhythms transport you to another dimension. This isn’t just a party; it’s a journey.

📍 Club Xtasy Beach
🗓️ Today ~ Friday
⏰ 4:00 PM PST
🎧 Featuring DJ Hydra – Exotic Realities hop://login.exoticrealities.com:8002/Club%20Xtasy%20Beach/...

On April 26 11 people were killed and many others injured in Vancouver after an SUV rammed into a crowded Lapu Lapu street festival in Vancouver.

This has been on my mind. Today is a day of Remebrance in BC, Canada. I made/modded a vigil candle in a holder and it's at the Birch Grove RCMP station free to copy/buy for 0.

The candle is from Sketchfab:

"Candle Low" (https://skfb.ly/6TCpr) by Batuhan13 is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

The holder is simple prims and the flame is from an old LK candle. The hold is a default SL one and the animate on attach script is available a bunch of places. I think I have it from back in SL days but on outworldz and probably OSgrid in the scripting forum etc.

Cherish those you love everyday. Cherish community and safety. Hold folks in your heart who don't get to and offer them light and love.

3 PM to 5 PM grid time - Today 2nd May Friday, Music is alive by DJ Rich at the ABYSS Club! Pangea-Grid
"DJ Rich is coming from Boston and has always had a passion for the music industry since childhood. Music has been a big part of him for most of his life, and he plays variety of styles including soft rock, hard rock, Pop, country, and light metal."
