*Carnavatar 2008 * Welcome to the Carnavatar 2008 at the Bradesco Cultural Center in Second Life! Next Tuesday, we are holding the metaphantasies contest with prizes offered by Livraria Cultura. The Bradesco Cultural Center has been selected by Brazilian newspaper "O Estado de S.Paulo" as one of the best destinations in SL and highlightes as an educational area. Please spread the word and help us turn this celebration into a truly universal sharing of the carnavatarian spirit! A global, open and anthropofagic carnival 3.0! Bring your avatars and run for best "metaphantasy" in 3 genres: originality, luxury and humour. The University Lounge of the Bradesco Island will be open for dancing and sharing from 8 P.M., São Paulo time but other performances may run anywhere in the island - even the glassy circling planet may host carnavataric encounters. Thanks for partying with us!
