I got to take a couple of the girls around Burning Life yesterday, on a mini-tour of some of my personal favorites so far. Why not share? If you haven't hit these yet, you're missing out!
Sekhmet's Serpentures - Madcow Cosmos & Lorin Tone
Be sure to pick up the Serpent Tooter Hat at the entrance & make your way up to the top, to join in on a snake jam session. Click on both the hat & the snakes to change sound loops & create your own music.
Cabaret of Flames - Poid Mahovlich
Beckoning you across the playa, waits this build from Poid. Overflowing with rhythmic percussion sound design, it's the perfect spot to dance in worship of a bit of fire.
The Invisible Dancer - Yoa Ogee
This stunning statue by artist Yoa Ogee stopped me in my tracks at the Sculpture Garden. So much form & movement, it had me waxing poetic and drooling like a fool. Yoa's got an art plot on the playa, as well, and it's not to be missed.
Straight Outta Compton - Anonymous Sorbet
Unicorns rising from a slit in the earth is a notion that makes me raise my fist in solitude with the artist. Oh yes, my friend. Oh yes.
Among Other Things - AM Radio
When you get to AM's build, be sure to enable your media and click the spray paint can on the table. Follow the link to the website and start painting.
Waiting for Pippin - Loki Eliot
This one stole my heart this year. When you start listening to the parcel music station, the full story of the build and it's characters unravels and come alive. Curl up in a donut, pop some popcorn and stay a while.
Berlin Stage - Kazuhiro Aridian
Ready to party yet? Like its counterpart, the Tokyo Stage, the Berlin Stage spans two sim boarders and enables two separate parties to run at the same time, and the parties never stop. And that's to say nothing of how unbelievably gorgeously crafted the stages are this year. Seriously - WOW!
Live, Explore, Grow, Evolve - Thend Destiny
Simple, elegant, warm and sweet. Grab some friends and give this one a spin ;D
Proud Flesh - Adam Ramona
As you run around inside this build you activate a jumble of sounds and release pods into the air. The pods then rain down and activate even more sounds, creating a chorus of music and sound clips that's hard to resist and even harder to stop.
Buddha - 2nd Magic
Sitting way down at the lonely far end of the playa sits this Buddha head that is so serene and profound, it begs you to take a picture of it in all of your favorite Windlight settings.
Transcendence - Sand Castle Studios
The art at this year's Burning Life is heavy on jaw droppers. This build is no exception.
Have fun exploring and be sure to see as much as you can before it all ends this weekend!
I've been wanting to show you guys some of the Freebies you can find down at Burning Life. But I gotta tell you, there's TOO MUCH good stuff!
Burning Life Main Gate
Literally my inventory has jumped by more than 1,000 items since Burning Life started. O.o I'm only half way through the sims and haven't even unpacked a fraction of what I've gotten so far. It's going to take me straight through to next year's festival to sort it all! I know this because I've still got a massive folder of unsorted items from last year's event XD
That said, what I can tell you is that Burning Life people are so generous it's insane! Everything at Burning Life is FREE. As you enter the Main Gate, there is a tent filled with gifts and Burning Life starter items, to get you into the spirit of the event. Then, nearly every one of the plots, on all 34 regions, is offering at least one gift. Some have piles of gifts. One has a hunt for 25 items within her build. Others are offering every single item on their plots! In addition to that, there is an entire camper down by the Art Department just bursting at the seams with sandbags filled with even more gifts! It is overwhelming to say the least!
Gift Tent
Don't feel like sorting for the rest of your SLife? How's about a ton of the most outlandish & imaginative personal art cars you'll ever see? The Burning Life DMV has stations all over the sim, plus a main depo, where you can rez out whichever one you like to ride around while you're visiting. And keep an eye out for the bike stands dotted all around; those, too, are all for the borrowing.
Burning Life DMV
And, let me just say, this is one event where the items are nearly unanimously unisex. I now own more T-shirts, avatars, accessories, furnishings, decorations, sculptures, art pieces, toys & vehicles than I ever could have imagined. The boys have nothing to complain about here. It's a freaking bonanza for them right now! So, get your greedy grubby booties on down to Burning Life pronto and watch your inventory EXPLODE!
Burning Life is open!
Sculpture Garden
The most incredible event in Second Life is finally here! It comes but once a year and its stay is always far too short. The lag is off the charts and you can expect to crash a million times. But it's soooooooooo worth it! XD
Temple
There are 34 regions and hundreds of camps to explore, each a world unto itself. There are absolute marvels of sculpture, painting, sound and video for you to explore. Some of SL's best artists have created pieces especially for this event that you won't get to see or experience ever again! Check the What & Where Page to find some of your favorite creators.
Gulliver's Travels - Ub Yifu
And the festivities are non-stop, 24 hours a day! There's live music, dancing, DJs & pyrotechnics. No matter what time-zone you are in, there is fun just waiting for you to show up. Check the Events Calendar to keep up to the minute on what's going on.
Vessel's Dream - Bryn Oh
Be patient this opening weekend. Crowds are pouring in everywhere, so expect to lag & crash. But it's all part of the fun. Most of the creators are hanging around their builds & are more than happy to show you all the little gems they've snuck into their little masterpieces. I caught up with Bryn Oh at her build and she clued me in on some of her secrets. In addition to it being largely a cam build (you have to cam through the passageways to see it all), click on just about everything to load a special machinima to learn more of the story. The woman is a freaking genius. This work is stunning! Put it on your Do Not Miss List.
fushion - four Yip
Know what else you're going to plotz over? Freebies from four Yip! Squeee! XD You get a chocolate skin and a ton of accessories, including strategically places butterflies, big blinky eyes and a teddy bear for your head. And that's just some of what you'll find in her media-rich chocolate fantasy world.
I hope to show you more of the awesomeness and the piles and piles of gifts from Burning Life as the event goes on. Keep an eye on the Burning Life Blog for loads more information. Till then, burn on! ;D
