Steelhead Goes Tiny for the Dogfights!

Tinies took to the air in Steelhead for two dogfights held in Port Harbor!Many, like Miss Krystine Qinan here, had never flown before and had a great time learning how. I was so tickled to see folks flying who had not done it before!Some of us posed for a photo on the runway after the 1 pm SLT dogfight...
The later one, held at 7, was also very popular and is was a lot of fun seeing Steelheaders as their tiny selves...
But the big surprise was Mrs Peterman, who despite an appendectomy the evening before, came inworld anyway to cheer us all on. Feel better and get well soon!
I'd like to thank Cornelius, Zoe, Phin and Lunar for helping me to organize it! It was tremendously fun. Thank you!

Town Meeting: 6/30/09

I love Steelhead's town meetings. There really is something about a whole community coming together once a week like this.

Caledon Project: Day Five, Caledon Primverness

Her Grace CoyoteAngel Dimsum has been, to me, one of the more "reclusive" of Caledon's peerage. One of the original "First Four" duchesses, she is a private soul, but do not let that fool you. She has a fantastic sense of humor, loves to help the Caledon community and is generous to a fault. For two years, she has walked with me around the SL RFL track and also forgave yours truly for accidentally running her over with a mining cart once *coughs* Her duchy, Caledon Primverness and Lovelace Over the Sea, with its structures tucked in among the quiet, wild beauty below and with its floating airships above, is well worth the visit. You might even discover her burning tree--a vestige of the burning that took place across many of Caledon's sims in protest of the openspace policy that caused a lot of pain within the Caledon community--forcing some of the longtime duchy owners to decide to go elsewhere. To many longtime Caledon residents like me, that was quite a blow to our community to see it being uprooted so, but it is nice to see that many--like her--are still here.

Caledon Project: Day Four--Caledon Victoria City

All roads lead to Rome, they say. Well, in Caledon they all seem to start here in Caledon Victoria City. I know they did for me. For many,Vic City is their first exposure to Caledon. I remember that when I arrived there after putting "Victorian" into Search, I was awed by the buildings and intrigued by the shops and Guvnah's Mansion. While in the central yard, I met Miss Babs Zuta, whose RL aunt introduced her to SL. She told me that she liked how the buildings seemed so real and how she loved the clothing here. She was charming and as she is a relatively new resident and told me that she likes purple, she should find a gift from my shop delivered to her soon. I do hope that she enjoys it and wears it during her own Victorian explorations...

Tinies Dogfighting in Steelhead!

Oh, the huge manatees! As you can see, my flying was a bit rusty!

In conjunction with the "Summer of Flight" aviation exhibit at the Steelhead Public Library organized by Miss Riven Homewood and Mr Nichus Bermann, planes of all eras are out on display at the Ballroom and there will be a Tinies Dogfight in Steelhead Port Harbor on Wednesday, July 1!

The main dogfight will be at 7 pm SLT, but there will be an overseas-friendly one at 1pm SLT as well. Free tiny aircraft by Cornelius Fanshaw will be provided and everyone is welcome. Just bring your bravery and your tiny self!
