The Virtue of Paragon

Tosha Tyran: lately we seem to have full house a lot

Star Ravenhurst: Because this is FUN!

Forest Azure: yay!

Thirza Ember: OK time to go... see you at PARAGON PARK

Gabe Collingwood and Huga Bug

Huga Bug: Welcome all.   Paragon Park opened to the public on Saturday, June 10, 1905, transforming Nantasket for the better part of the 20th century. This park was built from photos of child hood & off the web. It is a wonderful Place to have spent summer fun. 

Star Ravenhurst: I am so excited!! I love theme parks, carnivals, fairs...anything with rides!

Paragon Park

Nara Nook: me too

Biker Bad

 Sons of Anarchy (often referred to just as 'SoA') portrays biker gangs in California - specifically the fictional NorCal city of Charming. The show garnered respect and a loyal following for both its gritty drama and its equally gritty soundtrack. Running from 2008-2014 on american TV, it's the story of a chaotic combination of family ties, dodgy deals, rundown roadhouses, violence and vendetta... not to mention, the Harleys.

CCI grid is the home of SoA Bad and the beautiful Siwas. They are both talented builders; the Safari has visited two Scandinavian builds here in the past. First, Siwas' charming recreation of the city landmarks of Tromsø, and then the exquisite and immensely detailed Viking village on their region Lofoten. Bad is such a fan of Sons of Anarchy, it's right there in his name. And here we are on their Sons of Anarchy inspired sim, Bikerworld. Full HG Address at the end of the post, as always. 

A Serenissima Safari

The nickname of Venice is 'The most serene' = La serenissima. Not an emotion one associates with the Safari, either in the preparation or the execution of our visit, and this was our first trip to a fabulous grid, Aviverse, so there was a lot at stake. Another big turnout this week, and it was all to play for with a tight schedule of tour and concert... would we make it? Read on and find out.

Isha Cullen: Welcome to Aviverse

Gin Leeder [it→en]: Welcome everyone!
snowbody Cortes: chi gha 'sciugà il canal?
KingScorpion Resident: buonasera a tutti
snowbody Cortes: sera King 

Gin Leeder [it→en]: if you want to visit the tower, remember to increase your viewing distance to be able to see the wonder of the landscape from above
Mal Burns: beware if you have vertigo
Nyx Breen: where is the gelatto shop?

Lavia Lavine: I know two whole words in Italian.....Spaghetti and Pizza.

Pati's Party

 Yesterday evening, Portugal time, was the grand opening of the new AI generated art gallery of Pat Babii on her sim Gavezdois.

Pat Babii

You may remember this interesting sim in another life, when it was located on Craft Grid. Now it has found a home on SharingIsCaring and over a dozen people joined the fun in the spectacular sky dance hall, with its constantly moving wall art. 

Gavezdois

Andron Rae DJ'd the event with all kinds of Ai generated music, mixing singers and styles and songs that created a colorful, curious,  crazy and sometimes quite philosophical. 

Shining Xzar

Star Ravenhurst: I JUST got nervous!  

Ms.Cal: hello Lucy,  Mal

Star Ravenhurst: Hugs Lucy! Thirza you may want to move. They will be landing on your head

Roffellos Kisses: she likes it

Star Ravenhurst: Welcome James, you may want to move. That thing will keep going off when you are near it

James Atlloud: A welcome message!  I feel very welcome. Do you recommend region environment or something else?

Tosha Tyran: wow, how lovely

Star Ravenhurst: Shared environment.  Some of the parcels have different EPP settings, so with Shared on, you will experience the changes in climate as we walk... Hi Marlon. Welcome. Hi Kelso. Hi Tosha

Lannorra's Bayou Bliss

Lannorra Sion: Hello and welcome!

Marlon Wayne: Hello, ty

Tutz Zabelin: helloo

Lannorra Sion: while you wait you can take some handouts if you wish, i especially recommend taking the map, they are all on this table near me

Tutz Zabelin: i must start my translator, my english not so good

Marlon Wayne: you have it in suitcase?

Lannorra Sion: your english is better than any other language that I cannot speak LOL

Thirza Ember: hi guys!  The group is just forming at the Clubhouse. There is a lot of lag here.

Lannorra Sion: yes i was worried about that, i see some errors on the map giver

Thirza Ember: it is best if you sit down, and maybe Lannorra the best thing is to not give out any items at all until the server has recovered from our arrival... I'm warning all to lower draw distance and be ready for the sim to be a bit slow

Lannorra Sion: I've never done any load testing here. This is one of the most resource hungry regions, but I was hoping it would be ok. I've had 6 or 7 people at once here

Thirza Ember: it will be ok i'm sure, best is if they just sit in here for a little while, then we can move on, moving is very crashy.

Jessica livestreams Safari trips so you can see real time what it's like

Lots of people on Safari this week! We began as usual at the Clubhouse on OSGrid, where we gather to check on the last-minute details, to friend each other so that anyone new has plenty of people to ask if they need help, and to enjoy a few moments of calm before the storm. With us on this trip was Jessica 'Lifted' Pixel who livestreamed the event - nice to watch in playback, and it's worth following her channel so you can 'ride along' if you can't get inworld to be part of the trip. Jess was a guest on Inworld Review last week, talking about filming in opensim, together fellow guests Petlove Petshop and Marcus Llewellyn - it makes interesting viewing.

Thirza Ember: about 9 more trying to arrive... oh hello Forest's dress!

Forest Azure: lol

Jupiter Rowland: Okay, someone try to sit next to me. Taarna, here's a seat.

Forest Azure: room for 2, here at my dress

Tutz Zabelin: hi Taarna, hi Tosha, James, hi Patnha

Tosha Tyran: before I need a seat, I need my body... got it - body, soul and seat

Taarna.Welles: Hello peeps

Tosha Tyran: Hi Tutz, and James and Taarna and, and, and

Tutz Zabelin: hi Kelso, hi Unadecal

Beth Ghostraven: Hello, all you assorted body parts and pieces of clothing!

Thirza Ember: ok i see maybe 2 more coming... wow Lannorra, 16!

Taarna Welles: <<<<<< APPLAUSE>>>>>>
