SL Burner Gets Her Build To Be Made At Burning Man

 

Burn2's summer event may be over. But the Burners haven't stopped their activities, far from it. There was an announcement about the Black Rock City Honoraria Program. As it turns out, one SL Burner would get this honorarium, and her build for the summer burn here would be planned to be constructed at the real life Burning Man.

Pictures From Burn2 Whimsy

 

Gemma Cleanslate was one of the Rangers at the Burn2 spinnoff event this weekend. The theme of this year's summer burn was "Whimsy." And some of the builds were more than a little on the whimsical side. She sent the Newser a few pictures.

Last week, the Newser reported on Burn ONe, an area built as a tribute to the early days of Burning Man that ended up becoming a temporary center of activity of many Burners as Deep Hole was temporarily closed. There have been a number of spontaneous events there, including one the Newser was a witness to, the burning of an egg-shaped effigy, or "Eggfigy" as it came to be called.

Burn2: The Burning of the Man

A week ago, the Burn2 art and music festival, this year's theme being "Carnival of Mirrors," they held their "Burning of the Man" on Saturday October 24. Bixyl Shuftan was there to get pictures of the occasion. This year though, things didn't go quite they way they had in previous burns.
