Burning Life: Sept 24 - Oct 1, 2007



by Rezago Kokorin

On a vast plain of white desert, the Burning Man stands alone. Soon this will change as the Burning Life grid officially opens on August 24th at 6pm SL.

I wasn't in SL for last year's event and I'm eager to see what will happen, and to dive in and participate. The VAA didn't exist this time last year and many of it's members were not yet inworld. So lets get out there and create some awesome builds! The theme for this year is "the Green Man."

News and information about the event is at the Burning Life Wiki HomePage. Below, I've copied and pasted from the Wiki but be sure to visit the site for more.

There will be three sizes of camps, the largest of which requires the submission of a proposal. The others may be had by finding an empty site and claiming it by clicking on the terminal. Art installments won't be on plots but on any of the sims with the name "playa". "Art installs will be limited to a max of 50 prims per art install with a max of 5 art pieces per account."

There Is No Registration Process For Art Installments So Go Build Something!

In addition to the camps and art installs there will be Mutant Vehicles.....
What are Mutant Vehicles?
At burning man, a collection of strange and extreme vehicles cross around the terrain. Their basic function is to serve basically as 'taxis' between the different parcels and art objects.
In burning life. The Mutant Vehicles will basically offer the same function as they do at Burning Man. Allow people to go from one spot to the other AND be a sight and experience to enjoy.

woot! getting increasingly excited about Burning Life... the VAA will most certainly have a camp site there, even if the result is my trampled and battered avatar!
