The upcoming GT show is called Illumination and our first promo shot is here! April 2nd at noon pst on Events C we'll perform a show about light for all. Come celebrate the 7th birthday of the place we call home: Inworldz with The Golden Touch!

We at Golden Touch are always stressing the importance of the proper settings to enjoy our shows. We all understand the virtual world is sometimes not perfect. However, we wanted to send advance notice about our upcoming show ***April 2nd at noon IWT.****

We are doing some things that will REQUIRE certain settings in order to be able to even see the effects we're deploying. So separately from the invite we wanted to send you a clear list of things that, should you choose to do them, will vastly enhance your viewing of the show.

1. *MOST IMPORTANT*: You cannot be using Inworldz Viewer 1 nor Viewer 2 and be able to see this show. From the opening number all the way to the end, the sets and numbers as we've planned them, will not make sense if you cannot see the effects. Firestorm is a great alternative viewer, as is CoolVL viewer. IW3 will also work. Pick your poison as we say, but please do not use Viewer 2; we'd hate for you to not see all the things we have in store for you! After the show, you can go back to Viewer 2 again if you wish.

2. As always, be sure your sun is set to midnight. Our stage setups and lighting are crafted at this setting to best capture the mood or ambiance for each song.

3. Turn off nametags. We all love to see who's dancing but sometimes those name tags can be more of a distraction than a benefit. To turn this off in most viewers you can go to:
a. IW3: Me>Preferences>General> Name tags (Click off or show briefly if preferred)
b. Firestorm: Avatar>preferences>general>turn off name tags (or show briefly)
c. CoolVL: Edit>Preferences>General> Avatar Names> switch to never or Show temporarily

4. Make sure your draw distance is set to a minimum of: 96 and a maximum of: 128
Particles should be at : 8192

5. Advanced lighting model should be set to ON. You can find this setting:
a. IW3: Me>Preferences> Graphics> set quality and performance to High or Ultra (if your computer allows), Then tick advanced Lighting Model
b. Firestorm: Avatar> Preferences> Graphics> set Quality and performance to High or Ultra ( if your computer allows) Then tick Advanced Lighting model
c. CoolVL: Edit>preferences> Graphics> set Quality and performance to High or Ultra ( if your computer allows) Then tick Advanced Lighting model

6. Be sure that in your outfit of choice you wear as little scripted items as possible, and that you remove any scripted items before arriving on the region.

7. Try to arrive 15 minutes early to the event. As everyone arrives, the sims tend to get a bit overwhelmed. We are ready for people to arrive up to one hour early if they have the time to do so (and it gives us a chance to say hello!)

We do so hope to see everyone for this show. It's sure to be illuminating! (Keepsake invites will be going out soon!)

April 2nd at noon IWT The Golden Touch will lend its creative efforts in celebration of 7 years of InWorldz! Our show is called "Illumination" and speaks of how this place we call home has illuminated our Virtual world, our lives and even our hearts. Come share in the celebration with us, one show only at noon! Come early

**** YOU MUST NOT BE ON VIEWER 1 OR 2 OR YOU WONT SEE THE SHOW PROPERLY****

Come celebrate with us!

Today's the day!! Illumination is here! Noon IWT come early and get best seats

Thanks everyone for an amazing evening/afternoon! Despite the problems on the events region when too many people were trying to get to the region ( the sim crashed at 61 I think, with more people trying to tp), we quickly decided to move it to the GT region and to have 2 shows instead of 1. First show had 53 people on the region, the second 25 people. We would not be able to do this show in any place other than Inworldz.

Here are some pictures Teal put on her page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tealfreen ... 8907/page3

Videos will be coming soon.

We will have an encore performance on april 30th, and we'll do a special extra number for this occasion. I know some people really wanted to see the show and couldn't because they had to log off when we did our shows yesterday, but you'll be able to on the 30th.

Happy birthday Inworldz, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our creativity in a way that is not possible anywhere else!

First video, unfortunately some rezzing problems, all avatars were meant to look like being in a black orb with rainbowz avatar:

"She,
In the dark,
Found light
Brighter than many ever see.
She,
Within herself,
Found loveliness,
Through the soul's own mastery.
And now the world receives
From her dower;
The message of the strength
of Inner Power"
~Langston Hughes

Second video, Inner peace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5HsxPYcAt4

"Go inwards,
Find your inner peace
And suddenly you
Will find an
Explosion of Light,
Of Beauty,
Of Ecstasy."
~OSHO

Third video: this world of wonders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glslHpuhh28

"One of the oldest
and most generous tricks
that the universe plays
on human beings
is to bury
Strange jewels within us all,
and then stand back
to see if we
can ever find them."
~Elizabeth Gilbert

Fourth number of the GT show Illumination, Compass:

When in doubt,
be still.
The compass of your soul
will tell you
the way to go.
~Alice in Wonderland

Final number of the Golden Touch show Illumination:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl65mIuDDOc

Seek for illumination of self,
and then the world,
through the simple,
humble, almighty, supreme virtue of love
~Bryant McGill

This saturday April 30th at 11am IWT and 2pm IWT an encore performance of "Illumination" featuring an all new number called "My World" offered as our tribute to InWorldz. Come celebrate the closing of the month long IW7 birthday bash events with The Golden Touch. Please remember you cannot see the show if you're in Viewer 1 or 2. We recommend Firestorm, CoolVL, Singularity, or the IW3 viewer AND we recommend you come early. Seats are limited! If you receive an error message, it means the region is full, you can try to make the next show.
