Littlefield Eleven

Littlefield Grid turns 11 years old as an independent grid and they're celebrating!

From Nasa to Firestorm, Littlefield Grid is celebrating the past and the future

There's a special Anniversary region on the grid where many of the grid's residents have set up displays that illustrate the range of builds that you can visit here. There's also a gallery that explains the history of Stonehaven, from the days of SL onwards.

Egg Static

Hunting easter eggs - it's your classic springtime activity, and once again Nani Ferguson and Ange Menges have been working on a delightful storybook build that, as usual, will be open right around the holiday weekend, and then gone for good. 

The build is, of course, not yet open - hey Easter isn't until the end of the month! 

This sneak peek gives you an idea of the charming style of the region, called Dhoglin, and located on OSGrid. 

The regular Safari tours are on a break, but there will be a special event for hunt lovers, at the usual time, 12 noon SLT or 9pm in Europe, on Wednesday 3 April, if you want to come and join in the fun!

IDD - Great Idea

 This photograph was blatantly stolen in the night from Zoree Jupiter, there, I said it. 

And what a night it was! 

A night of 30 minute music sets on a special region AMV International,  showcasing singers from around the world, and celebrating the vibrant and fascinating multicultural community we're all part of. 
 The celebration of all things international is of course in the air with the HIE event coming up in April 19-21. HIE is a sort of opensim convention, with a big but simple Expo 

Safari meets its Speculoos

So this was it, the final mass gridjump of crazy Safarians from SharingIsCaring to Speculoos. This Belgian-but-a-bit-caribbean-with-a-side of welsh grid has some idiosyncrasies, in particular when it comes to Inv and Lms, making it a little bit of a challenge to reach, but perhaps we needed to stretch our ingenuity muscles. And it was certainly worth it to see one of the most unusual builds in opensim, Brussels' famous Grand Place flooded and turned into a tropical beach. Global warming, anyone?

arriving in Grand Place

Tosha Tyran: Hi everybody.... wipes her forehead.... it really was a fight to get here :D

Thirza Ember: teleport totem! I think everyone made it however!

Lavia Lavine: Hail hail the gang's all here.

Andron Rae: woo beach party , lol :)

Thirza Ember: we are all here Gudule!

The Journey of Pat Babii

The final meetup of this first season of 2024 took us to a brand new grid tor the HG Safari and the tourists were out in force to visit SharingIsCaring grid, and discover some lovely and thought provoking art. The full HG Address is, you guessed it, at the end of the post.

Pat Babii: Welcome to the Gavezdois Virtual Museum. 

lifted pixel: Thank you for having us Pat! :D

Pat Babii: My oldest avatar on Opensim is already 11 years and many months old, and in SL, where the surname Babii came from, the avatar has existed for 17 years. The person who gives life to these avatars is Brazilian by birth and Portuguese by adoption, and I spent most of my life in Sintra, Portugal. I don't say much more than this about my RL. This museum, which was once a museum exclusively with exhibitions of classical art, is now set up more like an art gallery than a museum.

Pat Babii: What is on display now is a current type of art, composed exclusively of images made by Artificial Intelligence software called Midjourney. To obtain images in this software, the user needs to describe in text what they want to be in the image, which may vary in styles, reference artists, materials, eras, colors, etc. The options are endless

Cornflakes in Bloom

The second half of an uproarious, imaginative, and musical Cornflakes Week party was on Winxtropia! A big shout out to everyone who makes the effort (and it's not always easy, as we're all busy people) to honor the event with their great costumes, and by showing up and being part of the fun! But most of all, of course, to our hosts who do so much work behind the scenes, it's crazy. Here we are arriving on Crescent Melody, Winxtropia, among the incredible instruments that play such a vital part to the event.

Jupiter Rowland: Finally I get to see this sim on a decently powered machine.

Bloom Peters:  hehe i love all the cool new avatars to see

Lavia Lavine: ...she said I reminded her of a bag of Wonder Bread

Bloom Peters: Angelic with a cool avatar too, very unique

Lavia Lavine: So I guess I'll just loaf around.

Farstar Enoch: hehe

Star Ravenhurst: Angel always looks amazing

Cornflakes on Neverworld

Cornflakes Week comes round once a year, and it's a great opportunity to show off your imaginative side in a uniquely Opensim way. This year, as usual, the Safari celebrated the week long event with our Wednesday tour split into two halves, with our first party destination on Neverworld Grid. 

Never Plaza... the calm before the storm.

Be ready to be amazed by what the Neverworldians pulled out of their corny inventories...

But first, a shout out to everyone who dressed up! Lots of cornflake hats, plus Angelic Kisses rocking an Alpha Tribe outfit by Felix Ringtail, Lavia Lavine and four-legged friend sporting spots, Roff clowning it,  James in a vintage carpetman avie with lit-up face, Forest ant-itified, while a colorfully ringed lifted pixel took to the corny dancefloor, as she prepared to livestream the event.
