I was lucky enough to be invited to join the Burning Life Group before it was closed to new members so I have been visiting and watching the builds as they were completed.It has been fun listening to the trials and tribulations of the builders in the group chat who have had disappearing prims and textures and missing co-builders.
I visited the community Center which was built by my friend Joao Mastroianni. This is the place to go to find out information about the various sims and to find tp’s to them.
It is itself is a wonderful build, incorporating Burning Man symbols and pictures and is really the place to start your tour of the 22 sims filled with glorious imaginative art.
The theme of this year is "The American Dream" which seems to be a little out of context considering our universality here.
I have visited most of the sims briefly and what I have seen is so impressive it will be hard to describe it in words. The last minute rush was on Friday to finish the work as some frantic last minute additions for the opening on Saturday.
Some of the exhibits you must experience for yourself to make your own interpretation of their meaning. Grab a snack and a drink of your choosing and get going.
There are plenty of outhouses so don’t worry about that! I would highly recommend you prepare for your visit by finding the lowest prim hair and clothing you can and take off all your AO’s and scripts possible.
Those who attempted to go to the Hair Fair will know what I am talking about. The less baggage you carry with you the better off you will be!
You really have to make some time to visit this amazing event!
Those who envisioned their art and then prepared it have spent their last two weeks or longer working on their projects for your enjoyment as well as their own.
I will be writing about various builds that I found especially fascinating in the next week so watch for more about Burning Life.
To get to the Community Center and pick up your tour guide on your map go to Quad 85, 119, 24 and then roam!!!!!
