Requiem for a Disco

I'm going to miss the Disco in DaBoom, although I never attended a single event there.

I can usually only use the computer late at night. My first time in SL I saw some impressive architecture (like the Japanese town in Dore) but no people. Trying to guess where the residents might head late at night, I opened Landmarks and found the Disco.

I went there and found several players just outside who immediately introduced themselves and helped me get acclimated. I had to logout soon and I still didn't quite "get" SL, however, and thought my next visit might be my last.

The next night I reappeared at the same place and they were there again to answer more questions, and they showed me how to build things. I spent more time and discovered some of the social aspects of SL before logging (I befriended a demoness, a fairy-vampire-thing, and what appeared to be a couple of bikers -- Darque, Taessa, Leonardoe and Nica, if you're curious).

All through the following day, I kept thinking of things I might be able to build. My third visit, I bought a plot of land next to the Disco and started working on my little chapel-in-the-sky. I was hooked.

In the months that followed, I kept an eye on the Disco, and whenever I saw a single blip in it I'd head over to see if it were another new resident and introduce myself.

I was happy when I heard that the Disco was under new management, but saddened when I learned that the new owner was (understandably) moving it to a less-laggy sim.

It's gone now and the land is already being reused. I'm sure the new Disco will be superiour in every way, but I just wanted to publically say goodbye to the old one.

It was ugly and usually empty, but it will be missed.

Sadly I never got around to going to see the disco. I heard it was going to be blown up the first week I started I think. Same went for Open Flame which I take it was another disco type place Always meant to see 'em but never did. I'll have to wait for the rebuild.

Heck, Ill rebuild it for you. I have half of all the parts since I never empty trash, and if Disco Linden still has his, it's a matter of rezzing every prim and shouting "undo" to make them all go back to their original places
Special thanks to Christopher Omega for this wonderful bit of scripting

Yes, Madox, I really tried to be there for the demolition but it didn't work out. I saw some practice runs so I know how it looked (pretty nice scripting!).

Having missed the official event, I just thought I'd say goodbye here.

Hmm isnt the open flame that campfire with benches in native american village, where events are held?

The Open Flame is still there. It's Thai's place in Perry, I think, and we have a lot of parties there. You can't miss it as it's just next the Amphitheatre and has a BIG rainbow flag on the wall.
