Anyone can claim a "camp site" at Second Life's Burning Life '09, regardless of what sort of account you have. "Radical Inclusion" is (after all) one of those 10 Principles of RL's Burning Man Festival. This land is a gift to the community, so does not cost you anything or increase your Tier.
Among the options obtaining a sit, 52 "Theme Camps" will encourage interaction or host events designed to involve other people. To be accepted for one of these reserved spots, just write a compelling description of what your camp will be, include links to any other things you've built, and describe what sort of activity you will provide for your neighbors to enjoy.
Here's my entry on the application form:
Name: Arth Karas
Group: White Magic
Camp Name: Visible Man
Description: What is a desert without skeletons?
Last year we won a large plot in the general drawing. Using "entirely local materials", we constructed a display comparing DaVinci's Virtruvian Man with the SL avatar.
We placed a very large prim "avatar" skeleton in the sand the sim, with "canvases" on the ground covered with these images and other anatomical drawings. A few large invisibility prims helped demonstrate how attachments relate to the avatar physiology. During the festival, we held a few improptu demonstrations on avatar construction emphasizing skeletal structure and templates. We gave away hundreds of advanced pose stands, template sets and avatars and the original "joint kit avatar".
Comments ranged from "WOW" and "AWESOME" to unsolicited chat paragraphs complimenting the quality of the build, experience and freebies.
We'd like to do it again!
This year, we want to reinstall the above, AND complete and give away a freebie "skeleton avatar" in several sizes and shapes.
Love, Arth
