There are nearly 25 merchants, hailing from multiple grids around the Hyperverse, that are participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages more quality creators to set up shop in opensim to provide us all with the things that make outfitting our avatars and regions easy. For instance, I'm not a clothing maker, so I get all my clothes from original opensim creators.

You know it's a special moon event when I do a true Opensim Appreciation Giveaway. It's been two years since the last one. That is happening all this week at OSFest from Monday July 18th through Sunday July 24th. Everything I have out on my four merchant regions at OSFest will be free, with the exception of two structures still under construction that I will debut in the next month. Freebies include castles, entertainment venues, statues, landscaping, airships, and decor of all kinds - if you see it you can get it for free.

My apologies to anyone attempting to visit my regions on Mobius Grid or Wolf Territories Grid the last few days, especially since I am advertising both at OSFest. The two grids have been down for a few days, both with asset server issues. I still have a smaller region at Kitely, but that one is a store only. I'll post a notice in my profile when everything is back up.

OSFest 2022 starts off with a bang today at 9 am grid time (pst) with a full lineup of great performers for the next three days! There are also tons of exhibits and displays everywhere. See you there!

Start at HG Welcome to grab all the info and goodies: grid.opensimfest.com:8022:HG-Welcome

The OSFest 2022 website has been updated with new images from participants, HG addresses to all public regions, event lineups for all three filled weekends, sponsor ads, and sponsor links. We've added download, heart, and social share icons for the images. You can see the website here: https://www.opensimfest.com/

Kudos to the great OSFest team!

We open in two days! Construction on the grid is happening at a fast pace. Late entries for free parcels and sponsors are welcome!

We still have some free parcels open and 8 days still left to build. Tell your friends and get your own if you don't have one already!

Here is how to get started (we apologize for the multiple steps, but these have become necessary in light of recent grid attacks):

Step 1: Go to https://www.opensimfest.com/register to get a ticket as an exhibitor or as a merchant if you want to sell your products. This is how we get your email address

Step 2: You will receive an email invite to create an optional local avatar account on OSFest Grid. You may skip this step and proceed directly to Step 3 if you would like to use your HG avatar instead, but you will need to contact us in Discord to set up a meeting with your HG avatar on the OSFest Grid.

Step 3: Sign up for an open parcel at https://signupschedule.com/osfest

Step 4: We will get an email about your choice, then arrange to send a group invite to your local OSFest avatar as officer to your parcel so that you can build on it

I was excited to be featured in Focus Magazine, an online publication dedicated to art in the metaverse. They also gave me the opportunity to talk about the upcoming OSFest 2022 at length. You can find my article on page 92, but everything in this issue was fascinating for me:

Fun with Building - the main access from the harbor is now complete. I'm the tiny little speck on the stairs to the left of the lower access opening. The style of the region is less ancient history and more like my take on a Stargate vibe :-)

It's time to select your parcel if you signed up as an Exhibitor or Merchant for OSFest! Parcel assignments for all sponsors and large exhibitors and merchants have been completed for those who made requests (Nyx, Luna, Lain, Trouble, and Modee) so they don't need to choose their parcels. The rest of you can now choose where you want to be on the grid using this webpage. You only need to enter your avatar name (email is optional as that is shown on the page if you enter it). Reference the diagram parcel numbers when you choose your spot. Use this link to select your parcel: https://signupschedule.com/osfest

You can see the grid map in the OSFest Discord at this link: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/89187163372639847...

Exhibitors: Choose a parcel from either of the Alchemist Estates.

Merchants: Select your merchant parcel from the Guild Estate.

Exhibitors and Merchants: Larger exhibitors and merchants may select parcels from one of the two Marches Estates. Keep in mind that those larger estates are split into two regions: Chlorine uses Yengine and ubode physics; Quantium uses Xengine and Bulletsim.

Important! It is not too late to sign up as an exhibitor, performer, merchant, sponsor , or volunteer. If you would like to participate in some role, please go here: https://www.opensimfest.com/register

Here's the most recent notice regarding OpensimFest 2022 from the admins on our Discord server, which is our main point of communication for all things OSFest:

"We are in the process of bringing the OSFest2022 grid online with the latest NGC code. This is happening one region at a time while we are testing to be sure everything is working. We will let everyone know when it is ready for access and subdivided parcel location choices and group invites for each.

The next venue in my spotlight series is the Art Deco Lounge. This one began life four years ago on my home region to provide a more intimate place for grid parties. We had some great events in this one, especially a couple of birthday parties. I eventually set it for sale after the original grid closed. This one is perfect for groups of 10-30 people and doesn't feel like you're being swallowed up by a cavernous structure. Comes complete with decor.

You can walk through the original at these store locations:
Mobius Store: main.mobiusgrid.us:80:Lunaria
Kitely Store: grid.kitely.com:8002:Lunaria Emporium

You can find it on the Kitely Market here and check out all the pictures: https://www.kitely.com/market/product/60662189/Art-Deco-Lo...

Sneak peek on a new region build, details and location to come later. The pic is from the first of two 4x4 varregions. This was originally just a test build on a former small region. Still a lot to go - for instance, the pyramid is in the early build stages with no textures, and the style was inspired by the Ra mothership from Stargate.

This is the Renaissance Ballroom, the next venue on my spotlight series. This venue began as an exhibit in the first OpensimFest in 2019. At that time it was only a shell with no windows or interior, but a year later I filled it out into the structure that it is today. This is my heaviest build in terms of land impact but it has been one of my most popular venues.

You can walk through the original at these store locations:
Mobius Store: main.mobiusgrid.us:80:Lunaria
Kitely Store: grid.kitely.com:8002:Lunaria Emporium

You can find it on the Kitely Market here: https://www.kitely.com/market/product/60673720/Renaissance...

It's the Grand Opening of my new Lunaria Emporium satellite store at Emmalena Damour's Ocean Waves Mall on DigiWorldz ?
