Do you love the idea of Burning Man, but can’t bring yourself to spend a week baking in the Black Rock Desert? Celebrate the spirit of collaborative art with a week-long Burning Life festival in Second Life!

The Burning Life festival grounds – two new regions, Mauve (PG) and Chartreuse (M), located just north of Blue – will come alive on Tuesday, August 26, at 5 pm. Second Life Residents will have the chance to buy a single 40m x 40m meter plot (at a fully refunded cost of L$1,600) on which to build their tribute to Black Rock City.

Participants will have five days, 300 objects, and one voting station to express their interpretation of Burning Life. As this is a collaborative project, participants will limit their use of scripts to insure that the festival grounds offer a level performance that allows visitors to enjoy all of the builds.

On Tuesday, September 2 at 5 pm Burning Life will disappear forever – objects and land ownership will be wiped, leaving participants and visitors with a lingering suspicion that it was all a dream…..

Mauve and Chartreuse will return the next day for normal settlement.

A couple of clarifications -

- you will need to pay tax on objects you build in Burning Life - that will help keep the region from maxing out on objects.

- you won't pay taxes on land, even though when you buy land it lists an amount of tax. Pay no attention to that!

- when the regions open at 5 pm Pac Time on Tuesday, August 26th - its first come, first serve.

Just when it seem like all the spaces were taken, magically a few more appeared as of Wednesday night at 9 pm.
