Town Meetings Like No Other...

As I have been away for reasons explained in this post, I thought the easiest way to catch up on the unusual things that happen at Steelhead town meetings was to show you the photos themselves. It seems the town hall chandeliers are infested with crows and chickens...Was it something Fuzz said? Pies were being thrown left and right by attendees...Beware of tiny kitties in fancy dresses...After one meeting there was a hair-raising airship ride through all of Steelhead's sims with Emperor SteelCobra that involved being underwater and landing on pagodas...And speaking of the blue gent himself, he seemed rather ready for St. Patrick's Day...

Leftovers Dance

I went to Steelhead's "Thanksgiving Leftovers" dance as turkey bones...It looks like I ended up as soup stock...Hope you all had a great holiday!

Remember...Remember...

I went to Steelhead for tonight's Guy Fawkes-inspired dance and found this note tacked to an underground room...As you can see, I was dressed in a tiny gunpowder keg. After making my way through the tunnels I found the revelers and joined their dancing...Afterwards, I thought I'd go home to Harborside and partake of a bit of fishing, as Lunar created a lovely area by the water to do so...I even managed to catch this pretty ultrarare fish!

Noodle's at Ho Ping's

I stopped by the Steelhead Shanghai pawnshop establishment of Mr Ho Ping the other night, where I joined siblings Lunar and Lady Christine MacAllister for some noodles and sake. All that I can say is that elves must have a rather high tolerance for sake. I took care not to spill any of the broth onto my satin dress, although a vegetable (or at least I think it was a vegetable) escaped my chopsticks at one point.

Bunnies Amok

Yesterday Lunar and I amused ourselves by running amok as tiny bunnies. There is something to be said for the "instant happy" that being a tiny bunny seems to create, although it has been rumored that I tend to be rather destructive and mischievous about town when I am one--getting myself into all sorts of hijinks and shenanigans. I wonder if Sheriff Fuzz ever got the pawprints off of his ceiling...

Steelhead Port Harbor was listed in the Linden Lab Search Showcase as a "Hot Spot" so there has been quite an influx of new folks coming to town. We popped over to the landing point where Tensai was setting things out and highly amused some new visitors. She put down something shiny. I licked it and passed out for a spell. Oh dear.

Steelhead's Harvest Festival Wraps Up

After the farewell party at Ice Castle Xero in Caledon Morgaine, I arrived back in Steelhead to find the Harvest Moon Dance--the culmination of the Steelhead Days Harvest Festival activities--in full swing. Afterwards, I went to see the steampunk livestock in the building contest...
There were some rather fantastic (and hilarious) ones...To see these wonderful animals for yourself, do visit the barn in Steelhead City!

Racing Through Steelhead

From elephants to snails to steampunked wheelchairs, we all gathered in Steelhead Harborside for the Steelhead Wrangler Cup Race last night. Mr Daines had a bit of a mishap with his shopping cart...
We lined up at the starting gate, awaiting the countdown to race through three sims for the coveted Wrangler Cup! My tiny pony Yin and I galloped quickly through Steelhead along with the others...Afterwards, in the Harborside Commons, we waited for Doc Wrangler to tell us the race results...
Second place was Frau Lowey, but the winner of the First Annual Steelhead Wrangler Cup Horse Race was VelesJaeger Munster!
I'm sure that everyone had a great time and couldn't stop laughing like I was, so it was only fitting for everyone to have fun dancing after all of the craziness! It really was a lot of fun.

The Emperor's New Things

"Ellie, can you come over and see my new toy?" was the message that I received from Steel, also known as the Mad Blue Emperor of Steeltopia. Only he and one other in this world can get away with calling me by that nickname, and when he says "new toy", I am admittedly always a little nervous. When I arrived, he showed off the latest vessel in his naval fleet...
I did enjoy the blasting of its cannons and guns very much, but its Steeltopia colors fireworks was quite a pleasant surprise!Afterwards, I braced myself as we rattled through the streets in what I can only describe as Steel's "Transport O'Doom"...And he showed me the latest structure in town...the new Pneumatic Club, which has a fantastic central floor and should be a nice place for his dances and such in the future.

Steelhead's Street Signs

As part of Lunar's ongoing civic beautification projects in Steelhead, he has placed street signs all over town...
He recruited me to make the signs themselves. Each sim has a different icon: the Steelhead flag for Capital City, Narrows Bridge for Harborside, a trout for Boomtown and the bridge arch for Port Harbor. The street that ends at my home in Harborside has one of the most unusual names in Steelhead...How did it get that name? I suggested it since Tensai set my seagull afire almost as soon as rental poles were put up in Harborside. I just never bothered to douse the flames. The gull does not seem to mind...

Happy Rez Day Mrs P!

It's a busy time in Steelhead for RL birthdays and rez days! Mrs Peterman (Nabila Nadir) threw a Rez Day bash on the boat moored at the pier in Steelhead Port Harbor, as she is turning three...
Now, I arrived a bit late due to being a bit under the weather in RL. Given my own tendencies to wear burlesque outfits upon occasion, I was feeling a bit overdressed at one point--as I was in a full naval uniform..especially when I saw the "Cookie Girls" Genie and Miss Weatherwax dancing with a rather scantily clad jager. I would have changed, but eh, it was no matter and we all were thoroughly enjoying ourselves!

Although, I will admit--in keeping with my earlier statement about occasionally being less than fully dressed myself--that *mutters in a low voice* I provided his spare garment...My...what was that doing in my inventory? I do believe Lunar tried to gouge his eyes out with a curious spoon-fork combination called a "spork", but being elven and possessing remarkable regenerative properties, found himself unable to do so effectively.

Fuzzday!

Today was Sheriff Fuzz's RL birthday, so he had a steampunk pirates-themed party at the docks in Steelhead City...Our fave lycan spinning the tunes...

RFL Purple Day

Today was Paint the Grid Purple Day for RFL, and all were asked to show support for it by wearing purple or decorating their lands/parcel in the color. I thought I'd stop by Dia's regular Monday night gig at Gearz in Boomtown.

I curled up on the nearby leather couch and enjoyed the company and music as I worked on some other projects. I've been a very busy brass kitty lately...

Steelhead Post Office

One of the buildings that I have been hard at work on is the Steelhead Post Office Harborside Station! It is based upon the historic Martinson Cabin Museum in Poulsbo, WA and I had a great time building and tweaking/creating whole new textures for it. Much of the signage is inspired by RL historic post office signage and visit if only to go inside and read the post office hours! Miss Genie and I were talking outside of it and she has claimed PO Box #36.
I really want folks to come by and actually have fun using it regularly. Anyone may send fun Steelhead postcards with the LM in it to their friends in SL, so they can come and visit Steelhead for themselves. There is a dropbox for Steelhead suggestions and ideas out from and Lunar will be adding one for himself. I'll be adding more things to the post office soon, such as a general drop box for everyone if they want to write letters to one another and have them delivered. Enjoy!

After I talked to Genie, I was riding my little pony around town and came across Lunar's demon brother Chronos. He promised not to eat my pony (or me!) and we had a rather amiable chat...

Capture the Flag

Playing a bit of catch-up here as I was away in Toronto recently for a history symposium...

Hotspur O'Toole held a charity RFL event in Port Merrimac, which was a lot of fun. Using Kandace Common's paddleboats and capture the flag system, we formed two teams and it was a blast! Literally. It's pretty simple. One gets situated in their paddleboat and after being assigned to/choosing your team (in this case, red or blue), you make your way to the opposite team's buoy where their flag is...And when you get it, like I had in the image below, you try to avoid your paddleboat being attacked by the other team and make your way back to touch your own team's buoy! That simple!
We all had a splendid time and I look forward to perhaps playing again in the future. O'Toole, is Steelhead Port Harbor big enough to do so? We should have a regular weekly game of it there!

Oz Dance in Steelhead

Last night's Friday dance had an Oz theme. I could not resist going as Elphaba.

Walpurgisnacht Revelry in Steelhead

The Europan Consulate's Walpurgisnacht 2-day celebration culminated in a big romp around the fire under an exploding volcano in Steelhead Boomtown!The water had turned to lava and everything was a whirl of horns and hooves and wings. The two demon Eclipse brothers danced...
And Sheriff Fuzz looked rather menacing as he provided the music...
And I do hope that it was just a matter of Mr Linus Lacombe only trying to warm himself up a bit...
