Last night, I attended the farewell cocktail party for Mystery Manor in Second Life. Although some places on Info Island are moving to Imagination Island next month, many are closing for good. Unfortunately, unless someone steps forward to volunteer, Mystery Manor will be one of them. This is sad, but it's also quite common in SL. As the cocktail attendees agreed, it is very hard to maintain builds in SL because of the time and money involved in keeping them going. I remember Mystery Manor from when I joined SL nearly six years ago and did some work for it with Max Batra until we both left for other pursuits (Max for rl family reasons and me for Rainbow Gardens). That's why I had to attend last night, and I give credit to Hyacinth Cortes and others who have tried to keep MM going with programs and events after us. I know firsthard what it's like, and I only hope that Rainbow Gardens can continue in its new parcel on Mythica in March. Below are photos from the cocktail party, and some very old photos from when I worked at Mystery Manor.
