🎃 **The Halloween Market on Fleetwood is now open!** 🎃

Halloween season has begun on Fleetwood – and my Halloween Market is now open for you until **October 31st**.

At the market, you will find a wide selection of **unique, beautiful, and lovingly designed Halloween decorations**. Alongside classic spooky decorations, there are also many special pieces that are perfect for decorating homes, gardens, shops, public spaces, or even complete Halloween scenes.

Whether spooky, mysterious, playful, or simply decorative – there is plenty to discover at the Halloween Market. If you are looking to decorate your own sim or home for Halloween, you will find lots of inspiration here and perhaps exactly that one special decoration you have been looking for. You will find the Hallooween Market on "Green Market".

Even getting to the market can be part of the experience. There are several ways to reach it:

• use the **Teleport Pads** if you want to get there quickly and conveniently
• take the **Monorail** and enjoy a little ride around Fleetwood along the way
• or simply take a relaxing walk and reach the market **on foot**

So take your time, have a look around, and discover the many Halloween items and decorations I have put together for this special time of year.

👻 **The Halloween Market is open now and will remain open until October 31st.**

I look forward to your visit and hope you have lots of fun exploring, decorating, and, of course, getting ready for Halloween! 🎃

Running a grid is more than throwing around some dirt and rocks! It's ensuring that residents have a safe place to create, lag-free, thousands of kilometers of roads and water, free land to live their dreams, free store space, a free marketplace, thousands of original content items, friendly and helpful admins, and stability. With so much DRAMA! And anyone who says it cannot be done, has not been running Neverworld for the past 11 years of stability, respect and friendship.

The Haunted Halloween Isles are back open along with the charming, friendly Pumpkin Patch. Come visit, but realize you may not leave alive.

This year features an all new Day of the Dead area thanks to materials from Kim Starr and Cooper Swizzle.

For those not aware, OSFest is now a fully Hypergrid festival where you can host events on your own grid or grab some space on the OSFest grid to exhibit or setup a store. Before OSFest in September, OSGrid tends to run its fundraiser which is why we didn't choose dates in that month. Following OSFest, Hypergrid International Expo will be in November then OSCC likely in December. Fall is busy on the Hypergrid with many other events happening so hopefully some of those will join in the fun with remote events instead of schedule conflicts so we can send them some avatars too Let's celebrate each other together. It's your OSFest!!
OSFest Performances and Dance Area for live music, DJs, comedy, readings, prose, fireworks, light shows, and burn events!

SORRY, NO CHILD AVIES

Between the difficult days, a little light shines through.
A rainbow in the sky, a smile between us.
And for this moment, only one thing matters:
You are with me – and I am with you.
.................................................................................................
Zwischen schweren Tagen fällt ein wenig Licht.
Ein Regenbogen am Himmel, ein Lächeln zwischen uns.
Und für diesen Augenblick zählt nur eines:
Du bist bei mir – und ich bin bei dir.

So liebe Musikzuhörer und Lagerfeuertänzer,

I was creating a Landing Area for New People from Sinespace who have never been in Opensim and I thought I would post the most basic that most people look over for Mesh Clothing. Just my thoughts. BOM is back with some Mesh avatars.

A Small but Important Update on Textures

Ina Beaumont recently asked if I could include all of the textures with my items, not just the PBR materials, so that people who are not using a PBR-enabled viewer can still enjoy them properly.

I gave this some thought. I had been hoping that most everyone was moving toward PBR-enabled viewers, but Ina made a very good point—not everyone is there yet, and not everyone uses Firestorm.

So, going forward, I will include the complete set of textures that comes with the model, including the traditional textures as well as the PBR materials.

A quick note about texture sizes: please feel free to reduce them to whatever size works best for you. I have experimented with reducing them myself, but on many of the items I find that they become noticeably blurry, so the original size generally gives me the best results.

These are the textures produced with the model pack, and with the number of things I create, I simply don't have the time to resize and test every individual texture before release.

Please resize them as you wish and use whatever gives you the best balance between appearance and performance on your grid.

Thank you, Ina, for bringing this up. It was a good suggestion, and hopefully including everything will make my creations more accessible to everyone. ♥

I have added all the textures to the Hot Damn BBQ (sorry for the return trip to grab them) Also the Butterflies are Near Choker at Monentes Jewelry. Thank you Ina for helping me to realize the obvious, not everyone has or likes PBR!

LINKUP OPENS WITH A BIG BANG!

Yesterday, LinkUp opened its doors on OpenSim in spectacular style, with up to 50 OpenSim residents joining us and helping make our grand opening an unforgettable morning!

The event got underway with DJ Whisper opening the celebration, setting the perfect mood and getting everyone onto the dancefloor with an amazing selection of music.

We were then treated to fantastic live performances from our two special guests, Ouienanda Proud2B Thai and Eva Fae, who took to the stage and entertained the crowd with their incredible performances.

DJ Ted also kept the music flowing and the party atmosphere alive, ensuring the dancefloor stayed packed and full of energy.

The dancefloor was full of moving bodies, laughter, dancing, and good vibes as everyone came together to celebrate the opening of LinkUp.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, supported us, danced with us, and helped make our opening such a massive success!

Up to 50 residents, two incredible live performers, two fantastic DJs, and one rocking dancefloor!

And this is only the beginning… LinkUp is officially open!
