Cartoon of The Day: Why The Blocks

 

 Taken at the Winter Burn. Of this couple dancing, the girl was much shorter than the guy, and was wearing wooden blocks under her shoes. 

 

Hopefully it helps with conversations in which they're trying to see each other's viewpoints.

Cartoon of The Day: Driven Batty

 

 Taken at the Winter Burn. Not sure why he was wearing bat wings, but given the dumpster fire real-life news can sometime be, I could think of one reason.

A Busy Weekend

 

Quite a bit happened this weekend. The Winter Burn took place (picture above). So did the last events of the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy's Second Anniversary celebration. There was also the monthly benefit concert at Veterans Isle for Homes For Our Troops. And more.

Press Release: Signups Open For Burn2 Winter Burn

 

Burn2 Burning Man Regional Winter Burn 2022

We kick off the new year with a new outlook with a lot of frosty fun for you.

Winter Burn will take place January 28th through 30th, and we have a delightful theme for this one: Gingerbread Houses (with Jack Frost Effigy).

Twas the winter of 2022…
Gingerbread Man was heading home for the winter after the holidays. Oh, how much he missed his village home, with gingerbread houses and treats scattered every which way! He said to himself, “I will run just as fast as I can” then sang, “You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!”

At last he arrived - what could it be? There was much more than he expected to see!

Jack Frost had nipped! Home was in drifts! Blankets of snow soft as whipped cream! Oh, what a dream! Icy sculptures and frosted art on the ground, gifts from creators the whole world around. Candy lined paths ensured that no one got lost. And in the midst of it all…
the beloved Jack Frost!

And so this is how Burn2 brings you a Winter Burn
[00:24] Mrs. Mia Wallace (Mia Quinote):  theme with “Gingerbread Houses” and a Jack Frost Effigy. Let’s dare to dream, after a couple of trying years. It’s now a time for hope - dry each other’s tears. Hope for a better 2022 and build a fresh start all shiny and new. Come join us, and welcome this new year, new snow, new chance for new things to happen, and celebrate together - us and you!

BURNER BUS: Burning Man- Deep Hole (166,33,24)
 

Scenes From The 2021 Winter Burn

 

It's been a little more than a week since the Winter Burn in Second Life. For three days, four if one counts the music event "Burn2 Unplugged," people went about the Burning Man Deep Hole sim. They both danced to the music and checked out the exhibits. The Newser was there, and took a few pictures.

See the pictures in Design.

A Busy Weekend

 

It was a busy time this weekend in Second Life. From Friday to Sunday was Burn2's spinnoff event, the Winter Burn, themed "Bubblegun and Duct Tape." Veterans Isle had it's monthly fundraising concert for Homes For Our Troops on Sunday. Among other happenings, the Urban Furry club closed down following it's final event Saturday.

More on these events later.

Scenes From Burn2

The main Burn2 event is in October. But for fans of the Second Life reflection of the Burning Man festival, just once a year isn't enough. So there are a few spinoff events, at other times in the year. Last weekend was the "Winter Burn." The theme for this year, "Magic." Bixyl Shuftan dropped by, along with Gemma Cleanslate, and got a few pictures of the art and music festival.
