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

Disco rose and with it, the sounds of Abba, the Bee Gees and Donna Summer. On the rock front, bands like the Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Pink Floyd and Queen dominated airwaves. Tonight, DJ Rosie takes you back to the decade that changed the world with music! Come join us at Hot Daddy's on Wyldwood Bayou Grid and experience this decade in a fun way with friends old and new and, as always, incredible music!

No, seriously, here are the limits to what's allowed behavior at OSFest. It's serious business.

Pienso que la magia de los mundos virtuales complementa nuestro mundo real,es por ello que muchos expresan su creatividad,sus sueños,sus pasiones,su sensibilidad y ternura en los mundos que crean para que TODOS puedan disfrutarlo,si vienes a OpenSim a perturbar la armonía o causar desunión es mejor que retomes los problemas de tu RL porque se están proyectando en tu vida virtual #unidosenopensim FB

Continuing our tour of Bridgemere's Rima region - A peak at our snow covered winter wonderland. Come visit and see for yourself, the magic that is Bridgemere - and this one little corner called Rima.

You could have a beautiful sim on Bridgemere too!

Last week saw the passing of one of the greatest artists of the last century. Portuguese born Paula Rego, who has died aged 87, once said that she liked “to work on the edge”, and her many series of paintings and drawings, about the subjugation of women, abortion and the marriage market, cut across social perceptions of the role of women, and disrupted the male view of women and their sexuality.

The Art Factory has lovingly recreated a replica of the Cascais museum that houses much of her work. The Architect Eduardo Souto de Moura was from Oporto, Portugal. https://www.designboom.com/architecture/eduardo-souto-de-m...

Cascais is located near Estoril where Paula grew up and Ericeira where she lived and worked with her husband Victor Willing. Paula studied at the Slade school of art and died peacefully on the 8th of June in North London.
