On Wednesday September 17, the Spoonful of Sugar Festival held a fashion show to remember. Not only were some of Team Firestorm involved, but also some of the Lindens

 

At Noon today, Two teams from Firestorm and Three teams from @Second Life 's LDPW and Linden Lab will be dressed to impress and raise funds for Spoonful of Sugar Festivals charity - MSF/DWB.  

Come along support us and have a little fun

One of the two Firestorm teams was made up of  Pantera Północy, and the Firestorm Team manager Beq Janus. The second team would be "Wyatt and his entourage Jolie Serendipity and Sparkle Weatherwax." The three teams from Linden Lab were Kady and Madori Linden, the second Oatmael and Wendy Linden, and the third Dion Mole with Kit and Jade Linden.

 

Beq would comment, "I'll be dressed in a more Regency appropriate gown (of sorts) of my own design in an attempt to win the favour of the gathered mob." 

 

Pantera would send the Newser a few pictures of the event. 

 

The totals were  

 

Linden Team 1  L36,050
Linden Team 2  L$35,850

"A nice sum for charity."

Press Release: "Burnal Equinox 2018: H2O = Water but H2+O -> Fire"

Creative Burners near and far, we call you to sign up and participate in the next event to take place on the virtual playa on Deep Hole: Burnal Equinox.

"H2O = Water but H2+O = Fire"

What does this mean? It is in two parts. The first we all know, that H2O represents WATER. But...the second part is not a chemical formula; rather it is an attempt to describe the process of combustion that results in FIRE. Both utilise hydrogen and oxygen, but manifest in different ways.

This excerpt from The Urantia Revelation may inspire ideas for creativity in building, art, and music for this event:

"Mathematics, material science, is indispensable to the intelligent discussion of the material aspects of the universe, but such knowledge is not necessarily a part of the higher realization of truth or of the personal appreciation of spiritual realities. Not only in the realms of life but even in the world of physical energy, the sum of two or more things is very often something more than, or something different from, the predictable additive consequences of such unions. The entire science of mathematics, the whole domain of philosophy, the highest physics or chemistry, could not predict or know that the union of two gaseous hydrogen atoms with one gaseous oxygen atom would result in a new and qualitatively superadditive substance—liquid water. The understanding knowledge of this one physiochemical phenomenon should have prevented the development of materialistic philosophy and mechanistic cosmology.

"Technical analysis does not reveal what a person or a thing can do. For example: Water is used effectively to extinguish fire. That water will put out fire is a fact of everyday experience, but no analysis of water could ever be made to disclose such a property. Analysis determines that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen; a further study of these elements discloses that oxygen is the real supporter of combustion and that hydrogen will itself freely burn."

The event will officially open with a walk-on by the Lamplighters at 10:00am SLT on March 24th, and Burners are welcome join us in the fun. A fashion show will be featured at the stage during the event. A schedule of performances will be available closer to opening.

In the meantime, we come together as a community to prepare for this event. You are invited to PARTICIPATE, because no Burner is a mere bystander on the pixel dust of BURN2's Deep Hole playa that is our virtual Home. There are several ways in which you can do this.

Build on a Plot! 
Plots are free, but limited in number. Begin planning your creative build - plots on the playa will open for building starting the 27th of February. Placement will contact you starting then for you to choose your plot.

Sign up early! First come, first served get the plots!

Perform on the Stage!
The stage, a quarter circle, will be specially built for this event, where many can gather to listen, to dance and to enjoy this opportunity to celebrate the Equinox that brings the change of seasons and sunlight.

Sign up on this form and a member of the Performance Team will contact you to schedule your performance.

Become a Fashionista!
Sign up to be a model in the fashion show at Burnal Equinox!

Press Release: Burn2's "Conception 2016: All the Fun of the Fair July 2-3, 2016"

A long time ago, a world was conceived to let people stay in touch and interact with each other all year round, rather than just at one wonderful place once year.  The conception of this place went far beyond the original idea and its framework.

In this world we can conceive an idea, carry it out and share it with the most diverse community as can possibly be imagined.

What better way to celebrate our conception, than to show what we can create for the community at large with all the fun of the fair?  Food stands, games, rides, float parades, fireworks, let’s fill the Playa with fun and frivolity!

A Fun Twist for Builders!

This is a country fair themed event, and you get a choice of which type of build you would like to do. You can choose to build one of the following types of things:

• Large ride or interactive attraction
• Sideshow game of skill or chance
• Small food stand
• Ticket box
• Parade float
• Suggested build that fits Fair theme (must be discussed with organisers)

The number of plots is limited - first come, first served. Think about what you’d like to do and then apply for your plot. Be sure and read the guidelines at the top of the application form, select your choice of build type and write a description of what you have in mind.

You can sign up for your plot on the Conception 2016 Builder Application. We can't wait to see you!

Another Something New: Skin Burn Fashion Show

Every year after our October Burn we celebrate one more Burning of The Man, free of Lag. Skin Burn means we converge on the freshly cleared Playa to dance in the fire of the last burning of The Man without laggy clothing or accessories. Yes - NO hair either. Bald is beautiful in our world! Embrace it with open arms!

We are issuing an open call for skin designs as well as models. Come and model your own new skin if you like, as well. Your beautiful skin design may be just the one to make someone feel less self-conscious about being bald.  

All skins exhibited in the show will be gathered and distributed at this year's Skin Burn event, so they must be full permissions. Remember this is a gifting event, full of Color and Design. Go Crazy!

The Skin Burn Fashion show will take place on Sunday July 3rd, 2016 at 4pm - 5pm SLT. More information will be given to those added to the list of models and skin designers for the fashion show. Interested? Please IM Daark Gothly to be added to the list.

Don't be Shy ... Be Happy In Your Skin ... Lag Free doesn't mean dull!

All are welcome to come to the event, July 2-3, 2016.
