Torsdagen var den stora pressdagen på årets Burn2 som öppnar officiellt nu på lördag. Utrustad med ett laminerat presskort och en välfylld Burn2Kit begav sig Apmel dit.
Bland det första han såg var Free Tutus av alla ting...
Området känns gigantiskt men här finns olika fortskaffningsmedel att tillgå.
Det smidigaste var varmluftballongen.
Den följde automatiskt en utstakad visningsrunda.
Under tiden hittade han till Trill Zapateros Grail Quest som inte går att missa!

På guidebussen fick Apmel sällskap av Quan. En mycket fullödigare info än här om detta event finns i hennes Quan's Travelogues .
Quan Lavender: oberons work
DMom2K Darwin: Four scripted avatars meet a fifth in the center of a balanced yet austere setting for a ritual "suggesting that it is the solemn responsibility of elders to pass on their knowledge, and the solemn responsibility of those younger to learn it and respect it," according to the artist. This fits into the Burn2 theme "Rites of Passage" in that Oberon feels that passing on knowledge from one generation to the next, whether thru ritual or not, "is less important than the mutual recognition of everyone in a community that it is required for the community to survive." If you feel a bit uncomfortable viewing this installation, that is by design. Oberon wants one to sense a bit of mystery for having observed what might otherwise be a private event.
DMom2K Darwin: Rebecca Bashly to our left
DMom2K Darwin: Look carefully at the hourglass and think of the Burn2 theme, Rites of Passage. The faceless woman with the luggage at the start of the sand's journey through time leading to a broken receiver bulb on a never ending journey is an excellent metaphor.
DMom2K Darwin: ..the MAn
Quan Lavender: yea
DMom2K Darwin: he is patterned after this year's man at Burning Man
Quan Lavender: ah the temple
DMom2K Darwin: yes by Daminos
DMom2K Darwin: you are able to leave a notecard with your thoughts in here and they will be released just before the temple burns
Templet var slutstationen för guidningen. Apmel missade mycket pga av krånglande voice och att han ramlade av även bussen vid något tillfälle.
Burn2 öppnar 21:00 svensk tid på lördag och pågår hela nästa vecka tom helgen. Här finns mycket att upptäcka, mycket kommer säkert också att skrivas i olika bloggar och mycken info finns att få på plats.

Burn2 Background Information
BURN2 is an extension of the Burning Man festival and community into the world of Second Life. It is an officially sanctioned Burning Man regional event, and the only virtual world event out of more than 100 real world Regional groups, and the only Regional to burn the Man!
The BURN2 organization spreads Burning Culture and the Burning Man Ten Principles (http://burn2.org/ten-principles) year round in Second Life, culminating in an annual festival of community, art and fire in the fall - a virtual echo of Burning Man itself...so BURN2.
Burn2 2011 Theme
The 2011 theme for BURN2 in Second Life mirrors the 2011 Burning Man theme: Rites of Passage. There are moments of crisis and frisson in our lives which inform us that we've somehow crossed an inner threshold and are changed. Thus moving from one state of being into an unknown other obliges us to face our innermost insecurities, and it requires faith, a willingness to leap off the ladder of ordered existence. Our theme this year invites participants to join with others in creating rites of passage.
