Guy Fawkes Day in Second Life

Thursday November 5 was Guy Fawkes Day in England. Here in Second Life, there were a small number of parties around "Bonfire Night," as it's sometimes called. I wasn't able to find any still going, though did find this dummy of "The Guy" besides an unlit (or extinguished) bonfire.

Guy Fawkes had tried to blow up the English Parliament in 1605, but was discovered. A Wikipedia article describes "Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King's escape from assassination by lighting bonfires in the city ... beginning a tradition that has persisted across the UK ever since." After some time, people began throwing dummies of Guy Fawkes into the bonfiires, sometimes stuffed with fireworks after they became part of the festivities.
