Burn 2 Santalarity Dec. 12-13

The Burn 2 press release states:

"Like a fable borne upon a mist of time, a magical, mysterious transformation is wrought upon the
ancient dry lake bed we know as the playa. When the mist clears you see an alpine wonderland of
mountains, hills and valleys.

Oh, but that is not all! As you draw in for a closer look, you notice something incredible: everything is small in size. You are surrounded by miniature villages and diminutive trains, with LIlliputian creatures and beings populating the scene. But don't let their small sizes fool you things
are rarely as they appear.

Great Things Come in Small Packages

This is the theme and vision for our next adventure at BURN2 Santalarity, taking place
December 12-13,2015 . Doesn't that just stir all sorts of things in your mind? Petites, Tinies,
Micros...miniature camps and minimutant
vehicles, the world goes small! And of course we
will have a fun little Burn! And you are invited to participate!
We especially invite creatives of the petite, Tiny and other small avatar communities around
the Second Life grid to come build, DJ and perform.
BURN2 2015"



"BURN2 is the virtual extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of

Burn 2 October 20-28th, 2012 -Fertility

Burn 2 is coming October 20-28th, 2012.  "This year's theme is "Fertility." Echoing the theme of the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City (http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm12_theme.html), this year's theme explores fertility within the lens of our virtual event."

 I was lucky to get in early for the press day and grab a few pics and play around a little.  This is always a fun event and I could see this year will be great.

Their press release states in part  ..."BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of Second Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups.

The BURN2 Team operates events year around, culminating in an annual major festival of community, art and fire in the fall - a virtual echo of Burning Man itself.

This year's theme is "Fertility." Echoing the theme of the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City (http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm12_theme.html), this year's theme explores fertility within the lens of our virtual event."

Their official web site can be found here: http://burn2.org

Additional press info. states, "  - This is the third year for the BURN2 event, carrying on the traditions of Burning Man (and the former Burning Life event) within a virtual space as its own own entity.

 - It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups, and the ONLY Regional to burn the Man.

 - The 2012 event has expanded to six regions, growing beyond the four available regions in 2010 and 2011.

 - We have more than 100 builders and artists that have created this years community event."

There is also always a lot of fun and dance and about the entertainment they note: "We will be offering entertainment from over 40 Live acts and 50 DJs from across SL. We even have a literary camp for spoken word events!"

*taken from BURN2 site : http://www.burn2.org/

SL virtual Burning Life began in 2003 with SL residents taking more involvement in 2007. This year is the first year the event is completely sponsored and run by the SL community. Ownership of Burning Life was transformed from a partnership between Burning Man and Linden Lab into an entirely regional Burning Man event in the metaverse and the name has evolved with the changes this year to BURN2. The BURN2 parties run through October 24th with the sims closing Oct.30. This is an annual event not to be missed.

I'll try to add some good direct links later to some of the invited artist's exhibits that I especially like. I just didn't have time before work today.
