Applications Open For Halloween Shop And Hop (Until Aug 24)

 

It's only August, but already Linden Lab is making plans for the spooky season.  On Friday August 15, Linden Lab announced they were accepting applications from merchants interested in taking part in the 2025 Halloween Shop and Hop. 

 

The Halloween season is creeping up on us once again, and so is one of Second Life’s biggest shopping events! If you’re a Content Creator, now’s your chance to conjure up your best items and reach thousands of shoppers across multiple regions.  

 

The shopping event is scheduled to take place Friday October 3 to Sunday November 2. Those interested in taking part need to fill out a form on Google docs (here). Those signing up will need to agree to their items at the store being offered with at least a 20 percent discount, and one free gift to anyone regardless of whether they're in the store's group or not. The gift must be a new one as well. If a gift card is offered instead, it must be at least 300L. 

 

No items rated adult can be offered, and nothing with political themes, or politicians, is permitted. The store cannot also be used to promote items at other events. And for those wanting to take part, signing up does not guarantee a spot.

 

The deadline for signing up is Sunday August 24.

 

For more information, check the Linden blog post (here).

EOTB: Applications Open For Valentine "Shop and Hop"

 

 

 For those who are already missing the Christmas "Shop and Hop," or looking forward to Valentine's Day, good news. On the Linden Blog yesterday, the Lab announced they were accepting applications for the Valentine Shop and Hop, though just for a few days.

While many of us are still recovering from the winter holidays, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and our shopping itch just won’t go away! 

Linden Lab is winding up for a Valentine’s Day inworld shopping event - and we’re now looking for Merchants who would like to participate.

Merchants wanting to take part need to fill out this Google Docs form. Among the guidelines are having to provide at least a twenty percent discount on their items, and at least one free gift that anyone shopping at the store can take whether or not they're in the store group. There can also be nothing political or any adult-rated items (sorry, no adult beds either). 

Interested merchants will need to be quick. They have until Monday January 9 to sign up. Applying does not guarantee one will be given a space, and those who are have until Thursday January 26 to Sunday January 29 to set up their stores.

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!

Performer Signup Ready NOW

We are always delighted welcome new and experienced artists, live musicians, DJs and performers all working to an interesting theme.

We have an exciting and diverse stage show in the works and will announce the lineup very soon. Watch for an announcement in the next few days. Some performance slots will be available for self-sign up beginning next week. If you have any questions, contact Cuga Rajal in world

UPDATE: Performance self-signup is now OPEN!

A few performance slots are still available - grab them while you can!

Be careful not to over-write in spaces where another performer is signed up.

We have a diverse lineup of live performances this year!

Fire dancing

Poetry

Skin Burn fashion show

And of course live music and DJs.

Sing up to be part of the Fun of the Fair! See link "Performance Signup" under Conception 2016 in the menu at left.

Please contact Cuga Rajal in world with any questions.

Greeter Signup Open

BURN2's Greeters are a fun bunch of people who enjoy welcoming visitors to the playa at events. Signup for Greeter duty is now open!  Here is the link: http://bit.ly/1U0llTw .

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.
