Their site states :  "The first New Moon of 2017 will be on the 27th of January, which coincides with teh Chinese New Year on the 28th, bringing in teh Year of the Fire Rooster.  And thuse we arrive at the theme for our next event at BURN2: Fire Moon"


I've taken a few pics and captured some of the schedule of events for Sunday, their last day for this particular episode of their event.   You can also view the schedule and other related info on the web site. I've blogged the SL Burning man events many times so you can use the search to find out more about this SL event with periodic art/community involvement and displays that mimic the RL event in many ways.  They have a great sense of community at these events with lots of music, art, and playfulness, and a bunch of free gifts too as usual.

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"

Burn 2, October 19-27 Cargo Cult

Visit the official Burn 2 website here: http://www.burn2.org/

I was privileged enough to gain entry into Burn 2 press day today.  I'm super tired right now and need to get to bed but wanted to at least get a little info. out about it. Burn 2 opens Saturday 10-19 and will run through the 27th. The theme this year is "Cargo Cult". 

(A few of the pics I took during press day at Burn 2, 2013)

First I recommend just going to the Burn 2 official site (link at top) as it provides a list of builders and direct links to their exhibits. They give the history of the RL Burning Man event, as well as how Second Life became involved in this annual event. There will be many events and the exhibits are always very fun to see.  

Highlights are always of course, the man, who literally gets burned at the end, and this year they have a pretty impressive temple. The Temple was built by Midori Rotaru and Zorch Voom, with scripter Cammi Hudson helping with the censer. Skye Silverweb said, " the censer will be in place starting that day, to collect the messages left for friends, loved ones, estranged ones and those gone beyond. These are filled with surprisingly powerful emotions ranging from grief to anger to discovery to love and hope, and just before the Temple is burned on the last night of the festival, these messages are read out in local chat. Incredibly spiritual - and healing - when the Burn commences." There is so much to see and do it's almost overwhelming, in a good way : ).  Check it out Saturday and the following week.

 

It seems there are a lot of pigs around this year. I saw fun vehicles as usual, freebies, and it's always a great time hanging out, dancing and socializing with the builders and attendees at Burn 2.
