Bruce and Galen saying Aloha from Hawaii to our dear local friends.
We want to share with you our wondrous life-transforming experiences at
Burning Man 99 two weeks ago. We made pages of images and words for you at:
http://www.damer.com/pictures/events/burningman99/index.html
with Galen's insightful and very personal story at:
http://www.damer.com/pictures/events/burningman99/galen.html
Right now we are at an amazing conference organized by Terence McKenna here
in Kona Hawaii. The subject is: the effect of Hallucinogens and the
Creative Process in the life and works of artists from around the world.
Tomorrow (Thursday morning at 1pm Pacific Time) Galen and I will present a
session that will feature a virtual art gallery online built for the event.
If you want to join us virtually "in avatar" inside this 3D gallery we
would love to have you. The way to "get in on this trip" are below.
We look forward to seeing you back in Boulder Creek soon!

(join us in the galleries now, and hang your works!)
Share in the experience of the ALLChemical Arts Conference being held right
now in Hawaii by joining us in 3D virtual worlds filled with the works and
concepts of artists at this event. We and a dedicated group of volunteers
are building this world for you right now and you can visit today and hang
your works in the galleries. On Thursday Sept 16 at 1pm Pacific Standard
Time we will present the world and you live to the audience here in Kona.
We hope to see you there!
We will gather "in avatar" inside the multi-user 3D virtual worlds online.
To get there, download and install Active Worlds from:
http://www.activeworlds.com
(this is Windows-only but runs well on Mac-based Windows emulators like
soft windows or virtualPC)
Start Active Worlds and wait for the 3D scene and views of other people to
stream in. To get to the event center called Hyperborea (the gateway to the
AllChemical Virtual Conference), click on the Teleport pulldown at the top
of the screen and select "To..". Next click on World and replace the world
name in that field with the name "theu" (no quotes), that is the letters
THEU. You will teleport to the landing point for TheU virtual university.
Before you will appear a gateway called "Hyperboreal Gate". Walk up to it
(use the forward arrow on your keyboard to move forward) and go thru it..
and JOIN THE GATHERING and help us celebrate the ALLChemical Arts
Conference, and support Terence McKenna's virtual world cyberspace
communities. In this event we will be visiting psychadelically inspired
galleries in the worlds Nsideout and Pollen (thanks Jupytr, Thorus and
Facter).
You can also click on the teleporter URL at the bottom of the event page at:
http://www.digitalspace.com/worlds/fan-terencem/allchem.html
and Open \Active Worlds\AWORLD to get to the event site.
If you are looking for me, I am named Digigardener and will be hanging out
in the world called Nsideout.
See you at the event!
