Brand new year 2016 -Great Canadian Grid



Happy New year everyone!



You are not seeing things.  Potlatch Foggarty opened in GCG at Hot Rods Diner n Mall,  Saturday January 2.2016 at 6 pm. grid time  Potlatch is very well known in SL, he has been a known and respected entertainer there since 2008. Now, you'll find him on the GCG. He  has a new group called Potlatch People.. you can join his group and know what and where he will be.  He will be at Jen's Hot Rod Diner on Saturdays.

Potlatch is here in GCG to build Personal, Artistic, Business and Network relationships, he believes strongly that the future lies in OS Grids.  He and his partner provide streams in SL and now bring their service to GCG.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were some great venues and parties on the GCG in December, here are some of the pictures from the events..  There are more on Flickr. visit the following link https://www.flickr.com/photos/qyhat_la_canaille/










Some of us.. just kicked back and enjoyed a quiet time, watching our friends, 
Jettis put together a swing for China to sit under the fragrant cherry blossoms..
where she could enjoy the sea air and the sound of the water cascading from a nearby water fall.


This is the start of a brand new year, and we (Great Canadian Grid) are still growing, it is a constant growth, and one that keeps the owner and his crew working at keeping we (residents) happy in our homesteads.

To this we would like to issue a gentle reminder, that many of us migrated here due to the discontent encountered living on a big over populated virtual world where "community" was not the norm.  We came and we stayed in GCG because of what we found here.

If you have been reading then notices sent out by Roddie Macchi (owner) we seem to be multiplying quickly.  With this comes certain reminders that rules are made for a reason.

The question in any growing society is how do we maintain our lifestyles, our community with the infiltration of all these unknowns, and with that influx comes the need to make room for them and what can come with "some" of the new members.

This morning there was a message about "griefing"   honestly it was a bit of a shock... Roddie explained what it is, and steps you can take to ensure it doesn't happen to you.  Please read the notices that are sent out by Roddie, there is a reason for these notices, should you not understand, or want more information, GCG has staff members who would be more then happy to help you.

Who is a staff member.. just take yourself off to the welcome area, there is a wall with staff members, their pictures and their names.

GCG is not SL and we want to keep it that way.
For us to achieve this, we all must work together, and keep the lines of communication open.  Many steps are different here, how tier is paid, how roll backs should be done, how high we can go in the sky and much more... we can not tell newcomers often enough... GCG is the greatest place, those who live here, love it.. but if you are coming to GCG, know..... we do things differently, our currency is different, how we market our products.. our preference to share when we can .i.e. put out free merchandise...  Please read the bulletins, note cards, and join our GCG groups.


DJ Nox Darkness Looks after notices and events on GCG.  Friend him, keep in touch, read his notices to find out what is happening on the grid.  Events are plenty and well advertised on the GCG, you have places to go, entertainment and music of all genres.


GCG celebrated two years, and we intend to celebrate many more.  We (residents)give/ show appreciation, and thanks, not only to the owner, Roddie, but to each other, as often as we can.  Having been in several virtual worlds, this is where we live and our home.  



HAPPY NEW YEAR

November - news

 A semi-retired DJ. Regular gigs; Sunday 7-8 Frank's Elite, Thursday 6-8 Frank's Place.  Become 'Funalicious' join the DJ Allan Fun Club
This gentleman is a bit of a mystery, very professional delivery, very smooth and practiced at the microphone, and if you are paying attention, he slips in songs that  he himself has sung and recorded.  To know more about this delightful performer, join his club and attend his shows.  You won't be disappointed.
  Frank's Place Jazz Club - Second Life Premier Formal Venue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Stumbled by sheer accident to this performer's show last week.  We were expecting another entertainer, and when we found she was not on were going to leave... however, this singer, Jeffah  stopped us in our tracks.  What a range of songs he sings and might we add, very competently.  He not only sings but he knows how to capture your attention with his easy back and forth with the audience.


The young man is a professional singer in and out of sl, he is with a band when not in SL. From the sample demos of his work (that you will find on his profile) You can't help but be impressed.
In joining his group you will be notified of where his next show will be.

Jeffah's song list runs from Broadway music, Movies, Pop & Adult Contemporary, to Jazz and Swing. We stayed for all of his set, and had we the time we would have followed him to his next gig.
Go to search and type in jeffah24, find out where he is playing and get down there, see for yourself. what a gem he is.

Designer Circle #87 and more

Even on holidays, we shop, there is always something going on, and a need for a new outfit, or pair of shoes, new makeup, whatever.... shopping is what we do.  Designer Circle just started with their 87th round.  If you are a cat lover, then you know that the black cat is always there to greet you when you enter the shop.
Essenez is offering the Manhattan shoe, (slink).. we are showing you their vendor poster so you can see the variety available. There is a Demo offered, please try it before you buy.
Ladies it will soon be boot weather, there is no getting away from it if you live in a country where there are 4 seasons. MU-SHI DOLL is offering boots that are very chic @ a discounted price while they are at the Designer Circle


The Designer ZOZ is offering up a very nice set of nail polishes for the Slink hands and feet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*NB * if you are not wearing the Slink attachments, the items that are identified with the Slink icon, are NOT FOR YOU.  If you are frustrated with not finding products for your needs, Send the Design Shop a note card explaining that you would like that item for prim nails, they MIGHT be able to help you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We saw that there are new designers in this round, if they were there before, our apologies we missed them...  Check out their offerings and take a landmark to their shops.  In particular we liked what we saw from Ashmoot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a Designer that we have blogged over the years, she is very "today" and always gives you something that will give you a special look to turn heads.  blah BLAH blah

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** The designers spend a lot of time not only making their products, but in getting them ready for sale.  This means in the presentation. These days it can be a bit tricky, READ what they put on the vendor box.  Try the demo that is being offered.  If you see the shoes are included, look carefully on the box, make sure if the shoes are for the Slink foot that you know that prior to the purchase. If you don't have the Slink feet (and know what Slink foot attachment  you will need) then know that you will get the outfit and the shoes but the shoes will not work for your regular feet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DJ YUME  what is our rocking Asian DJ up to ... she  tells me that this Wednesday, she will be at Tango's between 7 pm -9 pm and the theme is
Blues Bash....  You know she has the sounds, she knows her music, and she won't let up until you are ready to drop.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us introduce you to an artist we met some time ago, who does some funky artwork.  He calls it visual Jazz.. you really need to look this artist up and check out his work.  Bonafide-Aries (bonafidenutts.aries).  He is affiliated with Nat's Jazz Club, Detroit City   this LM takes you to his art gallery.  BOna's Visual Jazz



For a list or schedule of what goes on at Nat's Jazz Club, check out their web page..   http://bit.ly/OotaA2  ..  This is the link to the NEW entrance... make note of it.. Nat's Jazz Club, Detroit City

Look at the line up for this evening.. The one and only Trowzer Boa will be on stage at 7 pm - 8 pm SL time, you won't want to miss that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rumor has it that DJ Kirt could be back sooner then expected, we have been unable to locate either DJ Kirt or Star to confirm this, we will keep you posted, last post card we got they were flying somewhere over some body of water, headed for heaven knows where.

Till next time... keep shopping and having fun! SL is yours to discover...
