Great Canadian Grid Sept.13


Welcome to another morning on the GCG.  

There is simply too much going on, this post is only about GCG, yes we are totally smitten. We visited the new welcome area, and WOW, talk about something to be proud of. The team did a wonderful creative welcome area, it is so bright and welcoming.  The area is so typical of a Canadian fall,  after having arrived in other grids, this one is A W E S O M E    Taxi to GCG


There is a landmark bill board at the end of the pathway.  New visitors to the grid can easily find locations of interest, they need only click on the topic/places of interest and they will have a note card filled with possibilities.  If you are a merchant or have a commercial enterprise here on the grid, you might want to get down and put your taxi in the lineup.

Visit Puerto Los Mochis a small Mexican ocean town. Bring your blankets and picnic stuff...all I ask is that you clean up when done. While you are there get your free cowboy hat and free particle generator machine near the crate at the landing zone. Visit the cantina and get yourself a refreshing glass of Guinness or Mexican Pulque. Just touch the barrels on the tables. Pick up your beach towels by touching the out door bar by the beach. Enjoy!

finding your way in a new world

We are starting again on GCG, this is so totally different from other grids that we want to make sure you understand that coming to Canada is not the same as when you land on other virtual soil.
Come to the Great Canadian Grid   Taxi to Welcome area


Where else can you go and be made to feel so welcome on arrival.  There is a welcome area, that allows you to pick out what avatar you would like to look like while you settle in.  A folder is provided on where to go for FREE items, new shape, new hair, new skin, AND if you like it what you see, till you really know what you want to do here at GCG you can have a small parcel of land FREE to put down a small house, trailer or stand under a tree.. whatever you want.



The Canadian spirit is alive and well on the GCG.  Join the group when you arrive, if you need anything and can't find it..  you go into the group and in chat, ask... how  simple is that.  There are two groups actually, one is the general grid group, and the other is called GCG Flyer... join it too, cuz that is the group that sends out notices you will want to know about.  

Along the wall you will see the faces and names of GCG officials who are available to assist you if you need help.  Roddie Macchi the owner who is very approachable when he is not on the run.  Bastien Falconvale mentor, Daniella MacTire staff,  Anna Wright  staff, Hairy Thor Forums Admin.  As mentioned in previous paragraph, the group always has people on who are very willing to help if they can and do.. If they don't know they try to help you find out.. 

We welcome everyone, when you are here, you are a Canadian =^_^=
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok you land and find you are one orange ball of flames, hot stuff.. don't panic on the wall over the stone railing, you will find the instructions on what to do..
and if you still have a problem .. remember.. go into chat.. someone will help you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are not new to OpenSim, visit the welcome area... it is just down the road,  or click on the board, along that same wall, et voila, you are at the Welcome area.. we do our best to make your life a happy one =^_^=

** see the Tim Horton's off to the right of the building, just walk around behind there for your cup of java. "C'est le Best gout, ever! Eh bien, c'est comme ons dit.. da best, eh!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moonlight Shops, this is a shop we found today, one of their departments features full perm mesh objects, if you are a budding entrepreneur wanting to start your own shop or business.. this is a good place to start if you want to try your hand at mesh.  Owned and operated by Shelby Moonlight.. She has a special on now with a lot of items FREE.  Taxi to Moonlight Shops
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


There are places to visit,like Dragon Ronin's Pandora Floating Mountains, Dragon is always work and making changes you will want to visit many times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Enchanted , on Nameless Isle  (mesh hair)(shapes,skins)  Owner Key Rayne is still moving in, but she has put up enough for you to have a nice wander and maybe find yourself a hairstyle that will hook you.  Some you out there know how you want to look and are willing to walk the mile for tat "special" hair do. The shop even has two prize chairs for those who like to stand while sorting overloaded inventories waiting for the lucky letter.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we leave the Great Canadian Grid for today, we'd like to tell you about a contest that is going on at *** Power Angels ***Shop, Fun, Dance, Money, Houses,  when you land.. go straight and then go right towards the big picture boards.  You'll see the big sign, Photo contest.  Many of you are avid
photographers, Bob and Kylie Garzo  have got this contest going, take a silly wacky, picture, the rules are in a note card there, and put it on the board, every 7th of the month, they will pick a winner based on the number of votes.. it is fun, and a great way to get your friends in here to play and vote... While there look around in the shops, check out all there is to be had.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>>>>> Travelling over to INWORLDZ
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jettis and China make their home in both GCG and InworldZ, these two jet setters are making friends and enjoying themselves, it is hard to pin them down on where they spend the most time.  Friends InworldZ own clubs that are always providing a whole lot of entertainment, we've covered three of them here in previous posts.

  Trail End Saloon   owned by Dick Pinelli and Rusty Larimore where you get to dance to the meanest country rocking sounds, ever.

How about something tropical... I hear ink Germany it is already getting much cooler.  Temperatures here are always balmy, there is lots to do, including shopping and a ballroom to show of your  new ball gowns.

Virtual chit chat

Checking in with Jettis and China it seems they are discovering that living on a grid that allows for inter grid travel is not only interesting but has its own challenges.  For the shoppers out there, we will cover inter grid shopping more when they are better able to explain it to us.


The Great Canadian Grid, Welcome Landing - The Great Canadian Grid, Welcome   click to get to welcome area.  We found this on Roddie's profile and want to share it with you.

We are NOT IW or SL...We are GCG...which means
Do Not have Izzies or SL price tags here, they are MC$ (Maple Currency)
Do Not rely on the fact that what works there will work here...we are a different script and physics here.
Do Not bring your drama here...we are good people.
Do Not be lazy here...we all work hard to keep it simple for you, but we are not your babysitters.
Do Not compare us with other grids...We are a
CANADIAN GRID through and through...with good people who just want to live in harmony...:)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was a week-end of partying...  The gang in GCG know how to throw a party, it started at the start of the week-end and just kept going. Roddie was there much of the time, along with his crew.. it was a fun time. The talent in GCG donated their time. it was one rocking time...

Speaking of.. discovered a DJ called Moto Sapa, he is in SL and other grids, under the same name, if you can find him.. check him out..

DJ Moto has been DJing for over 20 years, and in the virtual worlds for over 7 years,  he plays all kinds of genres, including Reggaie, Rock Country, Southern Rock, Cribbean etc.  we mean it.. he mixes his tunes and he does it well.   You will love it.   Look him up.

Sunday he was at Po Monkey, Dreamland  Jen Smith the owner seems to have compiled a really eclectic group of entertainers for her venue.

 taxi - Rockin' the Blues, Wyldwood Bayou


4 sims landscaped as Lousiana Bayou country. The grounds are open to the public, there are some fun little nooks and crannies to explore, but the owner does ask folks to beware of the man eating alligator and the bootleggers in the backwoods.


Like so many of us, Kira Wyldfire came to InWorldz from Second Life and found it immediately to her liking. Within her first week she'd purchased a region and started digging holes. She laughs remembering that she didn't have a plan but she was listening to a blues radio station while she worked and before she knew it the sim had taken on the feel of a Louisiana bayou land.  The next thing she knew she was building a riverboat, which she christened The Bayou Belle.  The lower deck houses a gentleman's lounge and game table. A sign on the party deck warns visitors to watch out for loose women and pickpockets. 

The Bayou Belle is docked in front of the club, Rockin' the Blues and serves as a secondary venue for special events, and Sunday morning blues sets during the summer.  

Rockin' the Blues opened on Sept. 4, 2014. The one year anniversary will be celebrated with the regular Thursday events on Sept. 3.  Kira says that her goal when she started this venture was to hire the best blues djs on the grid, play the best blues no matter what, and have fun! "My mantra through slow times, and hard times, and good times is simply "we just keep playin the blues."

By those standards, it's safe to say the club has had a successful first year and is looking ahead to many more!

Kira attributes her club's success to her DJs and an awesome InWorldz Blues community, which she calls her "Blues  Tribe".
