On Fire at Burning Life 2008

Another Burning Life has ended in Second Life.  I’ve been to all of them. One thing I’ve learned is, take pictures, and this year I learned how to take video so I did that too. I wish I had more pictures of the earlier Burning Life events, but I am not a time traveler and the moments are gone. This year Torley and I wandered and explored the 22 regions, I took bits of video and some snapshots to make a grand Burning Life 2008 video.

There was so much to explore that we surely didn’t get a chance to see everything and I look forward to browsing everyone’s pictures that they can share from their Burning Life experiences. I really appreciate all the work everyone from the organizers, to the artisans, who made our Second Life, Burning Life this year interesting and full of great creations to indulge our senses with.

I think my jaw hit the floor when I saw all the people at the Burning Man event, I heard tales of over 200 people being there. Whoa- that’s a lot.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well my performance was during the event, however Torley had the opposite experience and kept getting smartheap errors.  Normally our performance is the other way around, where I am the crasher and he waits to welcome me back. The upside was that since we were both running video and snapshots between the two of us we were not going to miss anything.

There were dancers, and tinies, furries, children, Lindens, aliens, humans and fairies, in all shapes and colors from all over the world. There was a handful of people on fire, copious amounts of particles here and there, expressive gesture sounds, and overall it was just really a festive time.
