5th Annual “Burning Life” Prepares for its “Burn”
Second Life, the virtual 3-D world, is about to launch their 5th annual Burning Life event.
There’s apparently a virtually giant virtual man effigy and virtual temple for your virtual self to strut about, staring blankly into the digital void of a virtual desert. There are some 63 plots of land set aside for users to build upon, only for the whole event to disappear after a brief period just like the “real thing.”
I wonder if participants are unable to get early passes to build their labors of love despite having huge cool art cars to give to the virtual community on the digital Playa, while at the same time getting a somewhat draconian edict that no art cars will be accepted without a written invitation though the organization cannot seem to overcome technical problems in sending said invitations… Just kiddin’! I know the DMV is up to their goggles in work and complications as the Playa grows ever larger each year.
What’s interesting though is that Burning Life event kind of qualifies as a regional burn. It’s yet another spinoff of the spirit of the Burn into new and different places.
[Author's Note: I have to eat my words now. Upon visiting the DMV for our license inspection, apparently our "ø" character in our "Ice-Flø" title mangled the system and the their invitation kept failing to send. It's all our fault for having a funky character! Sorry DMV folks. We loved you all along!]
