True Grid

 Matilda Charron came on Safari!

          Now that is true grit. The Safari begins at like 3 am, Mati's time, and we were so glad she decided to join the fun and games this week.
          And what a game of it we had.  Generally speaking, hypergridders like to be able to jump directly from A to B. Having to go through Welcome sims or make multiple leaps to reach one's destination is not a huge burden, but obviously, if somebody builds a region and wants people to visit, then it would be good if they made that as easy as possible. Is that dumbing down? I hope not. The 'idiot-proof' opensim viewer we're always being promised doesn't matter to me, mostly because I'm not that interested in meeting idiots. HG accessibility is, however, key to making it worth your while to build worthwhile, quality installations and regions.

Safari Turns Two

Truelie Telling

Two years of grid jumping, and to celebrate, we had a great party, thanks to many wonderful guests and some fantastic music! Sarah Kline said it best, seems no time at all since we were celebrating our first anniversary right here on Event Plaza.

A Hearty, Arty Safari

         Some seriously fun art in OpenSim this week for the Safari, on two excellent art-friendly grids. HG Addresses at the end.
          First up, Francogrid and Michaël Borras aka Systaime with his show "Curating Money" curated by Wrong Grid organizers Ellectra Radikal and Frere Reinert.

Nara's Nook Fashion Show

 'Flu time for your intrepid reporter, but that didn't stop the Safari! This week, just one destination, but plenty of fun on Nara's Nook grid, which is a writer's colony run by Nara Malone.

The idea for this event was to showcase many of the clothes made in opensim, for opensim. You can read more about Nara's show on the grid's blog here

This was an encore performance of the event held the previous weekend on a special sim. The organizers included Avia Bonne  knowns for her many splendid opensim builds as well as her real life paintings and drawings, and Jessie Campbell who is a fabulous manipulator of NPCs and has brought burlesque shows inworld up to the highest levels.
