Burn2 Festival Ends, Sims Still Up For Now

 
 
 This weekend was the high point, and the final two days of the Burn2 art and music festival. Saturday was the burning of "The Man," which took place just after Noon SL time. The wooden build burned, and collapsed to the ground, followed by the Burners going over and dancing over the embers. 


This was followed on Sunday with the Temple Burn. Starting at Noon, various prayers were read as they burned in the censor, "Peace & Love for the World, which we live in." After a half hour, it too began going up in flames. Like "The Man," once the temple's ashes started to cool, the Burners paraded and danced around the remains. Someone would post a short video of the burn (link).
 
 
But Burn2 is about much more than the burning of it's two most important structures. The twelve sims have numerous builds, some quaint, some very well done, and some that show a lot of imagination. 

The sims should be up for a few more days, though some of the camps will likely be taken up early, allowing more people to see them before most of the sims fade back into the virtual nether, leaving only the permanent Burning Man - Deep Hole. But for those who missed it, there are a few spinoff events across the year.

A "Bat-Tacular" Birthday Party

 
It was my birthday a little over a week ago. In real-life, it's usually a small dinner with a few friends on a day close to it. In Second Life, it's a little fun at a club. But this time, my wife Charlee was determined to make it one to remember. She got together with her friend and club owner Gwen Winchester, and they came up with a very different birthday party that can only be described as "bat-tacular."

At The Happy Vixen

 
 
 Yours truly has been a little busy lately. And I don't have the time I used to for dropping by some of the clubs I did. But Thursday night I had a break, and I was able to drop by the Happy Vixen. DJ Charlee was spinning the tunes from 6-8 PM. Besides here, there was a crowd of several.
 
The Happy Vixen has several events per week, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesdays and Saturdays are covered by sister clubs.

It Came From Fantasy Faire Chat: Halloween Decorating

 
 
A few days ago in Second Life, chatter started up in the Fantasy Faire group. Topics went to someone playing hide and seek with his pet snow leopard, "he's not very good at hide-and-seek, but I pretend I can't find him sometimes." Then eventually Milisandre Sarleon (Milisandre Resident)
then eventually talked about her pet "helping me spook the place up a bit for Halloween." It was quickly complimented, "That looks delightfully cozy." "Wow!" Milisandre thanked them, "Thank you. I made a couple modifications to it from stock, like redoing the interior surfaces to a cleaner stucco, and adding an upper floor and mezzanine reading spot; outside vines and trellis etc."


Delain (Delain Canucci): would add, "finished up my place too and is ready for Halloween. "That's amazing!" "Thank you *smile* It's open for public so if anyone wants to visit let me know, I toss the LM" She would later give the SURL, which was for a house in Color Alchemists.
