Bowling for Donations @ BURN2
Saturday & Sunday, March 18-19, 2017
BURN2 in Deep Hole, Second Life
Our next fundraiser event calls to Burners from every corner of the virtual grid and the ‘net, to come and gather with the community for fun, fellowship, and fundraising through bowling.
BOWLING?? Didn’t think we could do it? Anything you can imagine, is possible. Come and see how – get your bowling shirts and shoes on, we’ll provide the alleys and bowling balls.
Why fundraising? We depend on the generous support of the community during the year, to be able to acquire additional sims for the annual “Big Burn” called Octoburn. Without your help, this would not be possible. And, as you know, the more sims we have, the better!
More Sims = Less Crowding, Less Lag, More Fun and More Space for Camps!
Music and shamrocks will fill the air, in honour of St. Patrick, the patron saint of virtual green beer everywhere. There’ll be plenty of that to go round, too!
And, as if that weren’t enough – remember Cuga’s (in)famous Thunderdome from the last Octoburn event? He will bring it back for this weekend as well.
Bring your friends and lindens, score a strike or three, play as many games as you like. Call out for players to come for tournaments! There’s never a dull moment on the playa when a few Burners get together!
TWO DAYS: SATURDAY MARCH 18 THRU SUNDAY MARCH 19, 2017
On the Playa, Deep Hole sim

ALSO… WE NEED YOUR CREATIVE GENIUS, BURNERS…AND YOUR VOTES!
A Poster contest is coming for Burnal Equinox, read on!
BURNAL EQUINOX 2017 POSTER CONTEST
Lately we’ve seen some great posters contributed for events at BURN2, and we’re continuing this tradition of Burner participation.
Get your creative juices flowing! We’ve got another event coming up April 28-30, 2017: Burnal Equiniox! The theme for this event is “Sacred and Profane” – that’s sure to get you inspired in all sorts of ways!
We gave the description out when we announced the theme. You can read it here:https://www.burn2.org/burnalequinox2017theme
And now here’s a bit of clarification with a vision for the event:
The sacred represents the interests of the group, especially unity, which is embodied in sacred group symbols, or totems. The profane, on the other hand, involved mundane individual concerns.
As you enter the playa you will see individuals here and there, alone, moving further in, pairs and couples, until finally at the far corner you reach the stage, a hive for activity and community. Paths leading in, are symbolic of heading to a sort of place/person of worship… yellow brick road. It is just an iconic path most would know and in terms of sacred, it went to the Emerald City to the home of the wizard who was like a spiritual leader, high-powered spiritual leader that was in the end, a mundane man.
Now, your artistic genius minds are no doubt brimming with ideas! Here are just a few guidelines:
What’s Required on the Poster Texture?
- Name of the event (Burnal Equinox)
- The theme (Sacred and Profane)
- Dates of the event (including the year!)
- BURN2 Logo somewhere on the poster (need one? Hit the one on the wall in HQ at Deep Hole inworld)
- Preferred poster resolutions are 512×512 or 1024×512 or 512×1024.
