AdMiRe is
back – in a new location and even better than ever – 12-14 September 2014
AdMiRe
(Adorable Mixed Realities) is a chance to join SL musicians for a weekend of
music, laughter and mayhem in a beautiful castle called De Berckt in Baarlo,
Limburg, Netherlands. Arrive on Friday
12 September around 3pm and enjoy the music-making that continues until the
early hours of Sunday 14 September!
The theme
of AdMiRe is “collaboration” – events and performances feature creativity,
exploration and support especially between musicians some of whom have never
played together before. What’s more,
large portions of the live music is simulcast into Second Life for the
enjoyment of those unfortunate people unable to attend in person.
Musicians
you may hear over the weekend include Kaycee Drayman & Wannahave Ferraris,
Xander Nichting & Allegra3/Sandra, Inchino Melson, Tim Anadyr, Kleio
Dagastino & Ian Bleac, Aminius Writer and many more. Join now and your name could be added to this
list!
WHERE IS
IT?
The new
venue is the castle De Berckt in Baarlo, province of Limburg in the
Netherlands. The castle used to be a
monastery so there is a chapel. We are hiring this wonderful chapel venue with
its own bar and 20 bedrooms, varying
from 1 bed to 4 beds. We will ask you in
the booking form to mention your preference.
The
castle has a vast garden with plenty of possibilities for artists to work
together on their upcoming performance.

Berckt

PD Baarlo
Baarlo has
4 airfields surrounding it, two in the Netherlands (Eindhoven and
Aken/Maastricht) and two in Germany. If
you come from abroad, the best airport to land is Düsseldorf. Rom there a train
to Venlo (Netherlands) and from there bus 77, stop De Berckt. From the busstop
it's a walk of about 1 kilometer to the castle. So, the castle is not in a
place that can easily be reached by public transport. Please make appropriate
travel plans (like being picked up at Venlo station).
WHO SHOULD
ATTEND?
You! Whether you are an avid fan or friend, a musician
or a builder – there is an opportunity for everyone to hang out with other
Second Life citizens in Real Life and have an enjoyable time.
Come and
take part and create magic moments together through listening to and creating
live music.
Bring your
RL friends, family or anyone you can think of.
There is enough at AdMiRe and nearby to keep everyone entertained and
busy for a (hopefully) Indian summer’s weekend.
WHEN SHOULD
YOU BOOK?
NOW!
We need you
to book now as the Admire foundation has to pay the venue part of the price we
owe them. Therefore we ask you to pay a part of your booking price AT BOOKING.
