Burn2 Conception And The BBB SL20B Party

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

 

Besides greeting and attending a few Lab Gabs and stage parties at the SL20B, I made it to several events occurring at the Arboretum. Burn 2 held an informational meeting at the Performance stage . Each lead of the various departments explained what the department did at all the events during the year.

They also brought in their own video of past events at Deep Hole where most of the events are held .They explained the 10 Principles of Burning Man of which Burn2 is a regional member. It was most interesting to the audience and offered invites to join in at events as volunteers or creators of the installations on the Playa at Deep Hole.

The next event will be held this coming weekend .It is called Conception and is held in space! Come over to get acquainted and see all the builds and join the parties . http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Burning%20Man-%20Deep%20Hole/137/36/24

The Belllisseria Bureau of Bureaucracy ,known as BBB , held the largest gathering that I can recall at their Space ship high over the regions of the SL20B . Both the opening party and the closing party were terrific! Above is a shot of the Back to Earth party on July 11 taken by Martina Voxel.

It was barely large enough to fit all that attended and was great fun. Frank Atisso offered tunes the certainly fit the occasion . I felt like we were on our way to Mars. Several Moles dropped in as they have been doing at many events during this past two weeks. One thing that I have enjoyed enjoyed while greeting was the variety of avatars that came in to visit and explore . I took some photos of the array that I encountered.

Various Second Life Happenings In October

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

I have had several very busy weeks in sl. As a Ranger at the Burn2 event most of my time was spent on the playa helping. There was one final celebration that included anyone connected to the event in any way, Leads, artists, Dj’s, Rangers, Greeters, and visitors. It was great fun! 

 

One more event will take place and that is the Skin Burn. It will take place on October 29 at 12 and 6. “What is Skin Burn?The BURN2 Skin Burn is a decompression event that features an “encore” Man Burn, usually 1-2 weeks after the closing of the annual BURN2 event held in late October. We Burn the Man again, with everyone in their best low-lag form. We are challenged to get wildly creative with it, too!” More information will be sent before the day.

I managed to get away to attend the installation ceremony and ball for the newly appointed Ambassador for the Jeogeot Continent. Everyone in attendance sat on bleachers outside the Embassy to witness Abnor Mole hand over the key to Bel ,,,, Bel addressed the audience saying,

"Almost 3 years ago I found the BBB and with it came Boo, Sun, North, and then me. Boo setting up office in a houseboat.

Then it was Fi’s house and from there to a cabin and then to a stilts home. Then to where it is now. Lots of moving and lots of memories.I am more than a little bit excited at being given the opportunity to be a member of the BBB again...good old memories!I want to thank Everyone for allowing me to return as the Ambassador of Jeogeot. Lots of new faces and identities for me to get to know As Ambassador of Jeogeot I want to integrate the things that Jeogeot has to offer and is known for. And to integrate the things that Bellisseria has to offer to all of Second Life. I shall continually update new adventures and areas of interest, while bringing to Jeogeot the larger-than-life areas of interest of the rest of Second Life"

Everyone offered congratulations to Bel and we then adjourned to the party area that was set up next to the Embassy property and had a wonderful time dancing and chatting. The BBB (Bellisseria Bureau of Bureaucracy) is the sponsor of all the embassies and ambassadors across the continents of SL.

I did get to two pre-Halloween parties in Bellisseria also after the Burn2 closed. DJ Bela hosted one and DJ Far hosted another. My next project is to get to see some of the spooky places set up before Halloween is over.

Our dear Hammies have set up a wonderful Hammieween at the Bellisseria Fairgrounds. Stop over to check it out and see if you can attend a party there too! There are games and a hunt going on.

More Activities With The BBB

 
By Gemma Cleanslate

It has been a dizzying week with the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy. It is hard to keep up with all the activities going on! Tuesday There was a Meet and Greet in the Gallery where there was a showing art pieces in an exhibit called The Art of Travel. Amanda Tamatzui hosted with Dave (Lord Junibalya). There were many photos of travel places and ways to get there in the Gallery.

Michiel Bechir was the artist of the day. He spoke about his early life in art and his love of drawing from an early age and created some Comics in his teens and recently found some of them .They might appear somewhere in sl soon. He spoke of his love of travel and interacted with the audience answering questions.

I attended a party also at the Fairgrounds where Gιʂҽʅʅҽ Sƚɾҽҽƚҽɾ-LαƈσɱႦҽ (Giselle Lacombe) was the DJ and played great tunes for the attendees. Everyone is having such a good time . There is an ongoing attempt to get all the special visa stamps for this one week. As soon as people arrive at an event they start looking for the staff on the list I am doing well so far. It is not easy to capture a stamp from a dancer doing a stomping dance.

Wednesday The continent Sartori opened its embassy. Now all the continents have their own Embassy and Ambassador. It is similar in design but the Ambassador ,Bijoux Barr, art aficionado   has set her imprint on it . There is a marvelous Japanese garden outside the Embassy building. There was a meet and greet held there before the ceremony . Abnor Mole arrived and the ceremony was held on the porch of the Embassy. The Honorable Ambassador accepted the key and promised to bring the Continent residents and Bellisseria closer together .

After the doors opened we took a look at the office that reflected the Ambassador herself then teleported over to the Fairgrounds for another great party . This party had Bsukmet Stormcrow as the entertainment who gave us some beautiful haunting music of original composition. It was a delightful party with many in attendance. Everyone turned out in their best formal wear.

Thursday morning many of the staff were back on the Fairgrounds to give those still hunting for special stamps a chance to grab them. I was happy to get two more. I am still hunting for one more elusive staff member with only three more days to get it! There was to be balloon tour but it was postponed and replaced by another boat tour with Captain Cʅαɯ Sƚɾҽҽƚҽɾ-LαƈσɱႦҽ (Claw Streeter) taking out a large boat and Yuki following him with a smaller one taking passengers who still needed to do the tour. I skipped that since I had completed it already. On to the rest of the week!
