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.

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...

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of our inaugural event at the Lotus Club on Luxor!

I will never forget being at Austin's very first Opensim concert a few years back on our old grid and being blown away. Now I am honored that he will be the first to sing at Luxor.

Here's the calendar of events for Sunday, the third day of OSFest, with a ton of great talent lined up for another day of partying plus our second satellite event tonight at Kitely Grid!

Everything kicks off in a few minutes with DJ Suzan VonOtter at 11 am!

HG Address: grid.opensimfest.com:8022:event1

For all OSFest exhibitors, merchants, and sponsors, the grid is now open for adding your builds and displays. You can find full and complete information regarding all aspects of accessing the grid and setting up here: https://www.opensimfest.com/post/the-osfest-grid-is-open

There are still spots open in all categories so make sure to register for yours today! If you wish to participate as an exhibitor, performer, or merchant, please go here to register for a parcel: https://www.opensimfest.com then click Register on the top menu line. Once you have registered go to the web page mentioned at the top for information on how to proceed.

OSFest sponsors are those who support the grid monetarily to help offset the server and technical costs of running a short-term grid. Their support ensures the grid is free to everyone. If you would like to become a sponsor, go here to register where you can choose a support level you're comfortable with: https://www.opensimfest.com/sponsors

These are some of the bridges I created that are spread out as connecting points between the various display areas. All are modify and copy. Along with others, these four bridges are available at Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid. Only the top two are available at my Kitely store, and none have yet been added to the Kitely Market, but eventually will be as soon as I get off my keester and get busy.

FYI: While most information about OSFest 2022 resides at this website:

https://www.opensimfest.com/

two critical pieces, the grid map and the events calendar, live here:

https://grid.opensimfest.com/website/home

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

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...

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.

Why does Opensimworld allow malicious reviews like this on legitimate regions? I reported it but it still shows on my site and drags down my ratings. When I look up this user, they have no regions or activity, just a string of bad reviews for shopping regions. None of my items are available anywhere else on the hypergrid. Opensim says they want creators, but when I bring my original creations here I get this.

With the recent remodel of Lunaria Emporium, some new venues have been added with more on the way. The Forum is one of those: an open air venue in the neoclassical style, with columns, curtains and amphitheater seating. The Forum is modify and copy so you can place a copy out and change it any way you like, such as removing the seating and adding a stage. At some point I'll do a version with a matching stage. There's a nice fountain out front, and several statues are available for purchase to finish the look. To see the Forum, click the 'Classical' sign in the lobby under Viewing Platforms.

*There's now a new FREE section in the store. Also, don't forget to click the 'JOIN OUR GROUP' sign in the lobby and collect a free group gift!

Lunaria Emporium is like no virtual store you have ever seen before. Make sure you have advanced lighting model and shadows turned on, and be sure to use the new Firestorm EEP viewer to see the wonderful sky effects. The Emporium is here to help you complete your own personal vision. I sell only the highest quality original mesh, structures, and decor to take your world to a higher, more realistic level. Here you have many styles to choose from: Medieval, Gothic, Japanese, Classical, Steampunk, or Modern, all unique and all using the best quality textures and materials.

Lunaria Emporium is a Gloebit region, which means all products are sold for Gloebits and Gloebits can be purchased there as well.

You can find many of my products listed on the Kitely Market here:https://www.kitely.com/market?store=13957705

As a fellow opensim merchant, I want to extend a personal invitation for you to participate in OpensimFest by showcasing your products on a special region just for merchants. Our aim is to celebrate and showcase the incredible imagination and creativity of the entire Opensim community, and we feel merchants play a vital role.

Last year was the first year for Opensimfest as the successor to the AvatarFest of previous years, and the festival was a great success for non-commercial exhibitors and performers, lasting over three days, with exhibits open for the entire month. This year, in addition to Exhibitors and Performers, we are recognizing original opensim creators who already offer their products across the hypergrid.

Here are some of the advantages of participation:

You will be able to use your main hypergrid avatar to create and/or stock your store

You will be able to sell your products for Gloebits, which will be the standard currency for the region. All proceeds will be yours to keep, and no additional fees for the region or grid will be assessed to you or your customers.

You may also offer part or all of your products for free as long as you are the original creator of all products being offered for sale or for free.

You will have 28 plots to choose from on a large 3x3 varregion. Three plot sizes are available: 950 square meters with a 500 prim allowance, 2500 square meters with a 750 prim allowance, and large 7000 square meter plots with a 1000 prim allowance. Space allowing, you may combine two plots together. There is no requirement to follow the festival theme with your product offerings.

You can choose a Prefab store sized for your plot that will not count against your prim allowance, or you may construct your own display area.

All of your builds will be your sole property and will not be copied, modified, or taken for any reason. A daily OAR will be created each day for grid maintenance, but at the end of September, all builds, backups, and OARs will be permanently deleted.

You can have a sign in your store that directs visitors to your main stores, web sites, and social media.

You will have access to your region as soon as you register on the festival website and confirm your plot selection with me by email at luna@opensimfest.org, or by delivering a notecard to Luna Lunaria on Opensimfest, Mobius, Osgrid, Kitely, or Digiworldz.

You can register now by
1) Going to our website: https://web.opensimfest.org/taking-part
2) Emailing Luna Lunaria at luna@opensimfest.org
3) Contacting Luna on the Opensimfest Discord server here: https://discord.gg/T7QN2mZ
