Burning Man

Well on Sunday, Nicholai and I went for a day trip to the Burning Man festival. It was a fascinating place, full of wierd stuff. I guess the best way to describe it is to show you some pictures : )

Possibly the biggest tongue I have ever stood on.

I didn't do it! >.>

The robot took the space rocket to the chest like a champ!

The Ice Queen's Palace! Being a faun, I wasn't sure if this was such a good idea...

FAUN?! I hear you splutter.

Yup.. Nicho got me this as a present, I love it! The little horns are so cute :)

Our reception was somewhat frosty...

Lots to do here; Ice skating, snowball fights, exploring the Enchanted forest or getting freaky in the formal gardens...

This gigantic tree was most impressive.

The whole area around it was speckled with little interesting, moving sculptures that Nicho just *had* to ride :)

The tree and all its little extras was incredibly well made - must have taken alot of work.

Train! A very highly detailed model. Couldnt get in it tho :(

The picture doesn't show how all the textures and prims were moving, like eternally mixing and rolling waves. Very cool, but it hurt my brain a bit...

... and the inside did nothing to cure that.

Hideous isn't it?

This *really* made my brain hurt. If I took videos of this stuff, I'd have to put epilepsy warnings on my blog.

Just don't ask... I don't know what the hell this is. Indeed, 'wth', 'wtf' and 'omg wtf' were repeated quite often on our day out.

Here we have the visitor's map... you can see how many sims there were. LOADS. We only visited 2 or 3.

Ice, lava and a burning Globe theatre. Does it get any crazier than that?

The 'linden train spotters fan club bench'. It was free to copy but alas I failed to grab one.

Well at least the timetable is more accurate than the British Rail one...

Giant ants eating a white chocolate bunny.

Perhaps one of the most interesting things we found was this crashed spaceship.

It was supposedly bringing what we desperately needed in order to revive our dying planet.


All I found in the wreckage was a notecard, the central theme of which was:
'You laugh, and the whole world laughs with you. You weep, and you weep alone"

Thats deep.

So yeah. That was only a tiny fraction of what was on display, but the lag got to us eventually and we left to visit Gay World mall.

During our trip to the Burning Man thingy, we were laughing at a mock up of the US alert thing, where at Critical Threat level it had 'omfg we're all going to die, vote Republican'. Then some guy called, I'm fairly certain, 'Nigga Graves', dressed as Darth Vader, told us to 'fuck off and visit Hezbollah.org' or something. So we just walked away from that one. Some people in SL... there aren't words.
