Dear friends,

today i will play some music again, mainly from 70ies to 90ies.
The location is the festival market again.

The party starts at 21 h in Europe means Noon Grid Time.
https://opensimworld.com/events/124994

This market is open for you to make publicity for your events, products, locations or services.
Just put your stuff in one of the free little shops.
Concerning the play money, is it confusing that it cant be exchanged to Euros
and only is a internal currency to play with?
Please tell me what you think of these cozy dollars?
We could stop using them and set all to 0 units....

Second topic is the information that i updated 7 skyboxes on osgrid at Toscanila!
If you have an osgrid account you can rent these skyboxes and set home there.
Without osgrid account you can still rent but not set home.

Are you a good scripter? I had my first success creating a script with chat gpt for an oracle.
You can come to Festival Market and take a copy of the Oracle....
Feel free to change the questions on the list, the design and whatever you want.
I would need help to create a good visitor profile pictures board and some other projects.

Now for today, bring your friends and surprise us with a hippie outfit if you have...
Maybe there will be optional dresscodes in the future.

today: dress like 70ies!

See you later?

a big hug from Aphra Hendrix

Where do i even begin with this book...Fight Club obviously captivated me enough to read more of Mr. Palahniuk's novels...and gosh am I happy I did. But I have to admit...this one even shocked *me*, from chapter 1.

A gang of adolescent terrorists, a spelling bee, and a terrible plan masquerading as a science project: This is Operation Havoc.

Pygmy is one of a handful of young adults from a totalitarian state sent to the U.S. , disguised as exchange students. Living with American families to blend in, they are planning an unspecified act of massive terrorism that will bring this big dumb country and its fat dumb inhabitants to their knees. In his finest novel since the generation-defining Fight Club, Palahniuk depicts Midwestern life through the eyes of this indoctrinated little killer.

On Saturday, August 9th, we will be having a celebration of life at the Bright Shore region. This region is owned and designed by our grid member Terri S (Eva Marie) who has done an amazing job of designing and decorating this region which is based on the movie Widow Clicquot . Madame Clicquot is credited with major breakthroughs, creating the first known vintage champagne in 1810, and inventing the riddling table process to clarify champagne in 1816. In 1818, she invented the first known blended rosé champagne by blending still red and white wines, a process still used by the majority of champagne producers. During the Napoleonic Wars, Madame Clicquot made strides in establishing her wine in royal courts throughout Europe, notably that of Imperial Russia. So Saturday we will be celebrating life and the things we can accomplish when we set our minds to it. Our DJ will be Maldrul Smith and the Hostess is Terri S (Eva Marie). Join us for some really great music and dancing and let's celebrate together. And have a glass of champagne with us. The celebration begins at 2pm grid time and the dress code is casual.

"Gone Girl" is a psychological thriller about the unraveling of a seemingly perfect marriage between Nick and Amy Dunne. On their fifth anniversary, Amy mysteriously disappears, and Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect. The story unfolds through alternating perspectives: Nick's present-day account of the investigation and Amy's past diary entries detailing the couple's relationship. As the police investigation intensifies, Nick's lies, deceit, and inappropriate behavior come to light, making him look increasingly guilty. However, the diary entries reveal Amy's calculated and manipulative nature, suggesting she may not be the innocent victim she appears to be. The novel explores themes of marriage, deception, media influence, and the dark side of relationships.

We hope you enjoy the fine books from the Homelandz Public Library, but please, if you enjoy a book, try to support the author in any way you can! :)

Welcome the next addition to the Homelandz Public Library - The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. For your reading pleasure, we have lately been uploading in max 2k resolution (2048x2048).

The Hunger Games is a 2008 dystopian young adult novel by the American writer Suzanne Collins. It is written in the perspective of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in the future, post-apocalyptic nation of Panem in North America. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis, exercises political control over the rest of the nation. The Hunger Games is an annual event in which one boy and one girl aged 12–18 from each of the twelve districts surrounding the Capitol are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle royale to the death.

The book received critical acclaim from major reviewers and authors. It was praised for its plot and character development. In writing The Hunger Games, Collins drew upon Greek mythology, Roman gladiatorial games, and contemporary reality television for thematic content. The novel won many awards, including the California Young Reader Medal, and was named one of Publishers Weekly's "Best Books of the Year" in 2008.

The Hunger Games was first published in hardcover on September 14, 2008, by Scholastic, featuring a cover designed by Tim O'Brien. It has since been released in paperback and also as an audiobook and ebook. After an initial print of 200,000, the book had sold 800,000 copies by February 2010. Since its release, The Hunger Games has been translated into 26 languages, and publishing rights have been sold in 38 territories. The novel is the first in The Hunger Games trilogy, followed by Catching Fire (2009) and Mockingjay (2010). A film adaptation, directed by Gary Ross and co-written and co-produced by Collins herself, was released in 2012.

That's right, for you hopeless romantics out there, here's another fine tale from Nicholas Sparks.

Dear John is a romance novel by American writer Nicholas Sparks released in 2007. Sparks took inspiration from the real-life story of his cousin Todd Vance who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2007.

The story is about a couple who fall in love over one summer. They are separated during the man's military service. John Tyree, the main character, has a father with Asperger's syndrome. The story is partially set in Wilmington, North Carolina where John's father was a single parent who had difficulty having meaningful conversation with his son and has an obsession with coin collecting. John knows there is something different about him but he has never found out what it is. Feeling a lack of direction and no strong fatherly influence in his life, John enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces.

John returns home on leave from the army when he gets news of his father's death. After the return he seeks out Savannah, where he is surprised to learn of her life events following her marriage to another man. It was obvious to John, Savannah, and even her new husband, that Savannah still had love for John. But he decided to let Savannah go, because he cared about her more than himself. Although drained by battle overseas and the loss of Savannah, he realizes that due to a legacy from his father, he is able to express his love in an unexpected way.

The next addition to the Homelandz Public Library is Queen of the Damned, by Anne Rice!

This novel is a continuation of the story that ends in a cliffhanger in The Vampire Lestat and explores the rich history and mythology of the origin of the vampires, which dates back to Ancient Egypt.
