Thanxies to Mistress Midnight & Midnight City

Mis, I'd like to take this time to thank you for being so nice to me when I was a total n00b. I felt really welcome and I remembered when some sounds were played of someone laughing, and I was like "Who's that?" and you said it was Aimee. (I didn't actually meet her for another few weeks). I'm very happy Midnight City is still here after all this time, and it shows how weathering the storms of change not only builds character, but makes for wonderful fashion.

The first time I was ever in Midnight City, Mistress showed me a ride on the Spook House (as created by Sinatra Cartier) and explained to me what goes on in the city (then located in Umber). It was confusing to me because I was still getting aquainted but I know it was good stuff! I took a particular fondness to a certain dumpster, and the story went from there.

Mis helped me out with clothes and I got adjusted. There was also a skybar Aimee built but was contributed to by many Midnight City denizens in the forms of graffiti and online status indicators I think! I spent a lot of time there, often asking if it was okeydokey for me to come on in, and every time I felt welcome.

One of the first things Mistress Midnight ever said to me was, "We're not snobs" and I took her at face value. I didn't have any foreknowledge of what history (good or bad or inbetween) had gone on before, and I simply didn't care about that.

I've seen so many good things happen in Midnight City involving the whole group, including events for charity and fashion shows to promote up-and-coming talent, to just wacky having fun and racing around the streets. A test is time and so many places have fallen by the wayside for one reason or another, unfortunately, but to know that special things live on is a big inspiration to me.

And to think, Torley Torgeson Sr. once used to stare at MC's washing machines. The cycle continues in kind and it's part of the reason why I like to welcome new Residents to Second Life.

I wouldn't be here today without your early positive influence, so thanxies!

Ahh the good ol' days, I miss them. We seemed to have so much more fun when you were first around Torley and Midnight City was in Umber. Now it just seems like all we do is work, chat here and there, try to avoid drama, and end up in drama. I feel like Torrid is all but a sliver of her original goofy self. We've got our memories though right?

Every fond memory was at one time a projection of the future—I really have hope for the future, Tor. I really do... this is just a phase, another chapter in the book... and drama, heck, make the most of it, have a good laugh, just keep being you! What can I say? Oh, I just said it. I warn you, I'M COMING TO HANG OUT.

maybe it goes in waves? we get caught up in projects in SL and in RL and our windows for goofing off open and close... but they can always open again as long as we can laugh, and remember we want to laugh.

i have a picture in my head of a Torrid bouncing down the midnight city streets on a giant hop ball... that made me smile

I haven't been able to log in-world for a bit, but i'll be back later in sept. Miss ya'll. Stay goofy

more car races, grappling hooks, hoppy balls, and giant stilts! (thanks for that memory hosequeen )
more making fun of torley sleeping next to the whoreshack
more aimee hit n runs
more pub talks and introspective top-of-the-bridge discussions
more clio honking red noses
more chasing lady barnes biking through the park and other BINT craziness
more random encounters with francis and checking out the latest cooler-than-can-be gadget
more ezhar dropping pianos on si's head (and ho hoes)
more tiny-squirrel-rolling around the streets in an invisi-ball with launa
more wonderful encounters with such a talented, creative, quirky gang that makes up MC
more more more

Thank you for the sweet post Torley brightened up my night a bit

Recently we have some additions to Midnight City that have been absolute treasures. Having parties and playing soccer at the soccer stadium has been a blast for a lot of people in MC. Trinity and Nala have made Midnight City one of their home bases for their outrageous radio show. It seems like we laugh so hard at their parties. With folks like Ushu, Core, Armath, Iumi, Kanker, stpaulsub, joining our fold, I feel like there is more love to go around.

I like to look back at the good old days, but to be honest, I'm REALLY excited about the future.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful post Torley.

First of all, I suppose I need to explain myself...as it seems yet again my words are misunderstood and taken out of context. I am in no way stating that people don't have a good time in the current Midnight City, the parties are great and when I *can* attend trinity and nala are great fun. Some of us are more involved in things than others and when I spoke, I spoke for myself and a few others where I know it to be true. I am working a great deal and I get to chat here and there but i'm not always at functions nor am I around much of what Aimee mentioned. It's a progression over time that I've noticed with myself since Beta and not an insult to Midnight City in any way. What I was talking about was the easy going, less stressful period of time for some of us. Thank you Forseti and Torley for your wonderful posts. Sorry again for any misunderstanding..

im planning on introducing cheap knock off items available exclusively in the sketchy dock area of Midnight City. Shhh dont tell anyone.

I have been absent from MC for awhile too, i need to try and stop in more often. Been busy with other crump though.

aww thank you for including me AND makeing me feel welcome! and i wanna thank you all for all your support for my project it would not have been anything near as big without all of your support
it is one of my fav places to coem and even if not in the mood to be jumpin up and down..to be near those that are so talented and full of life

Midnight City has remained in my top 3 builds since I first found it. Being an Urban snob living in rural America for the last 4 years, I return to it often to for the view of virtual skyscrapers and the distinctively urban feel.

Might as well jump in and say a big giant huge thanks to Mistress and crew for letting me set up shop in MC. It's an awesome sim full of great people. I really need to hang out there more often. Thanks for being such great sisters.

Oh, and Torley... it's really great to see you back!!
