(in my best Cliff Clavin voice) It’s a little known fact that in early mesapitania beer was invented at a bar called Sully’s.

Great article. I kept reading peoples feeling sad about that specific space removal. Now i understand why. It’s one thing to read: it was THE place back then. Another to feel you’ve been there.

Y’know, I never bothered with Sully’s bar. I was only in EU in those days and never really had anyone close enough in Home to stand and chat to. In fact finding anyone who spoke English was hard sometimes. But then Sodium came along, and that was my turning point in Home. That’s where I met all the friends I’d spend the next year with, I just didn’t see the drama coming, Home should have a label that reads

“OBJECTS ON YOUR TV MAY APPEAR CLOSER THAN THEY ARE”

Sorry about that wee outburst. I really, really liked that send off you just wrote for Sully’s Terra. You did it so much justice that I WISH I had my PS3 here at home right now so I can go there right now. Hey, maybe these condemned spaces just need someone passionate enough about them to talk them up! I know, I know! I’ll shurrup now.

When I returned to Home after being PS3-less for seven months, I figured “what the hell” and decided to check out the old bar. It had been going downhill even before then, but even that knowledge didn’t prepare me for how empty Sully’s was when I checked it out. Three people were there, and no one was talking; every avatar there was in idle.

It is far more sad (for me) to see the space that was once so vibrant to be so empty than it is to know it’s going to be deleted. It’s not unlike watching a loved one waste away before death.

Come on in Sully’s tonight for a final farewell. Hope to see you there.

Yea, it’s interesting how much fun Home was then… despite the lack of content.

Sully’s was always my haven in Home. I went there to be alone or to meet a like-minded user. I’m sad to see it go. I held a steampunkers ball at this space almost 2 years ago now (wow time flies).

Check it out here if you’re inclined. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezESo4C7syw&list=UU7WiQdHobjZYxvwvso0NZ0w&index=2&feature=plcp

I never hung out at Sullys all that much. I have been there a few times, but it wasn’t a place I frequented regularly. I have met many people who did though, and I am sure that it will be a big loss for them. I hope that it remains on the servers even though it is off the grid like some spaces have, we can only hope.

I made some great friends at this place. Friends that nicely taught me the fine art of the Home comeback. They are a great group of guys and a special gal. I am still their friends and that wont stop anytime soon (I hope) but that the bar itself is going is sad and yet there is a sense of “I’d rather see it go than sit as vacant and lonely as it’s been lately”. Please don’t mistake me, I am sad that it’s leaving, so here’s to you Sulley’s, and to my friends Nero, Duran and Silver G. Thanks for the fun there and I’ll see you someplace else. Cheers.
