There are now 5 days until the official opening of BURN2 2012 in Second Life at 12pm SLT on Saturday 20th October 2012. The countdown continues to tick down and it’s building up excitement for this year’s event. I have added a countdown widget on my blog on the right hand side of my blog. Are you excited about BURN2 2012 ?
Over 40 live performers have signed up and with more than 50 DJs for BURN2 2012. Greeters and new 2012 rangers have finished training. Preparations are still taking place to get everything ready on time. We now know that the BURN2 Press/Bloggers Day 2012 will take place on Thursday 18th October 2012 which is going to very interesting to preview many awesome builds.
What is BURN2?
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, and the only Regional to burn the Man!
The BURN2 Team spreads Burning Culture and Burning Man Ten Principles year round in Second Life, culminating in an annual major festival of community, art and fire in the fall – a virtual echo of Burning Man itself.
To access BURN2 in Second Life, you will need a Second Life viewer installed on a computer that meets software and hardware requirements, and we suggest a broadband Internet connection of 2Mbps or better. To find BURN2 once you’re logged in, do a map search for Burning Man. You can’t miss us!
