Farewell to Babylon

While RL just keeps getting crazier and crazier, many of us find solace in SL. We come to rely upon certain people and places that we can only reach by logging into this wonderful alternate reality.
Unfortunately, one of the long-standing institutions of SL passed quietly into the waves this week.
We sent Provincetown on its way in the same way it appeared so long ago, with a beach party.

Provincetown and Babylon had been a mainstay in SL for eleven years. The oldest gay sim in SL is now only a memory of friendly people, laughter, dancing, rogue trivia balls, true caring and people working together to make the world a better place.
We will miss it.

For many of us, going to Babylon to hang with friends was a weekly, if not daily habit. We've laughed together, cried together, become more politically aware, fought prejudice, hunger, cancer and other faceless terrors that impact people's lives and generally just felt at home in Provincetown. Thanks to Dill, Gettie, Krysis, Mirah and all the others who made it possible for the rest of us to enjoy the  Babylon lifestyle for so long. We wish you well and we'll see you around the grid because we know you'll find other ways of making the world a better place.
