Victoriana to Close

It is always sad to hear of a major Steamlands region closing and the community of Victoriana will be doing so at the end of the month. Mayor LittleBlackDuck Lindsay cited many reasons, first and foremost being his frustration with Linden Labs and many of their recent policies, oversights and inaction. I do feel for Victoriana's residents, as one does become vested in their community and I am sorry to hear of this happening.

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...

Steelhead Town Mtg: 1st Chickening

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting. We are having a lantern festival on the 15th, and there is a call for folks to create their own. You can find out more about it here. And poor Mrs. P was Steelhead's first afk chickening of the year...For more Steelhead events and goings-on, please peruse the Sentinel.

Steelhead Town Meeting: Ferrets & Airships

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting. There were many "hoooos" regarding the arrival of St Helens. As I was still a ferret, I just got comfortable in the front of the room on the floor...
Afterwards, the Baron--who was a tiny critter himself--and I chatted...As Lunar rode on Tensai's airship, which was veering crazily around the room...For more information about events in Steelhead, please see HERE.

Steelhead Town Meeting: Steelhead Mt St Helen's Prebooking Available

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting. O'Toole had a very large drum to bang. You may find out more about local events HERE, but the big announcement of the evening is that Steelhead Mt St Helen will be arriving in December and is now available for prebooking!
What is that large mountain in the background? Oh, it's perfectly safe to live there...To summarize the info from Lunar:
Steelhead's sixth sim will be a rugged, frontier wilderness community in the Oregon Territories, tree-filled and more rural with unpaved roads. Steampunk is very much allowed as long as a western influence is present in the build. Think the wild Pacific Northwest and geothermal power. Industries such as logging, slaughterhouses, cattle ranching, shipfitting, and whaling are very welcome, and industry builds are allowed to spit out tons of smoke in the air as well as dump pollutants into the water (This was the era before the EPA).

If you are interested in living there, please contact TotalLunar Eclipse.

Town Meeting: Of Squiddies and Spookiness

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for the weekly town meeting, where it was announced that Miss Tibouchina Freschi won the trophy for Steelhead's Spookiest House...I was rather surprised to see the relatively reclusive Dr Alter present. It seems a John Doe was found in her pet squiddy thing last Friday and Sheriff Fuzz and Steelhead in general are to help solve the mystery of how he ended up there...

Steelhead Town Meeting 10/27: Fuzzwolf

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting. Sheriff Fuzz was a bit "fuzzier" than normal...Our spooky stories readings will continue on Sun., Nov 1 at the Steelhead Library Gardens at 11:30 SLT. You may check HERE for more events and goings-on in Steelhead.

Steelhead Town Meeting: A Hot Hat

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly meeting. As it has a section during which Tensai discusses the latest technological advances affecting our world, mention of a certain more "fluid" motion of one's bosom as recently implemented in a viewer was discussed. This of course led to a very Steelheadesque raucous discussion of certain floppy appendages. And to add further interest, O'Toole's hat was a bit hot for him and some sitting nearby took advantage of that fact...Many spooky events coming up, so do read more HERE about Steelhead's events and such.

Steelhead Town Meeting: Oct. 13

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting. We're having an upcoming hunt and our Annual Spookiest House Contest and Tour on the 24th.

And you would think the squirrel jokes would get old by now, but alas...no, they don't seem to.

Steelhead Town Meeting 10/6: Birthday Balloons

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting last night, where we were all given red balloons to celebrate Mrs Peterman's birthday.

Farewell to Ice Castle Xero

High in the skies above Caledon Morgaine, a beautiful castle of ice has been floating...
Owned by Xero Silverspar, many of us joined him and danced upon his ice crystal ballroom floor last night to bid it farewell...There he is behind me in the Strand cover with the Guvnah. I shall always remember being in my shop in Regency when it was new and seeing snow and knowing he was near...I stood in his crystal study, where I knew he had been trying to find a way back home...If the castle is leaving, then he must have succeeded in doing so then. If that is so, then I wish him much luck upon his journey home and he will be missed. It was always a bit warm for him here.

Steelhead Town Meeting: Sept. 22...Chickening

The citizens of Steelhead gathered for their weekly town meeting last night. Not all of us--like Mr Daines here--were alert during it however. We had not done a good chickening in quite a while. Such a Steelhead time-honored tradition...

Steelhead Town Meeting 9/8: Seagull Riding Hamsters

Last night's town meeting moved quickly enough, with upcoming events such as Steelhead's upcoming Steelhead Days Harvest Festival being announced. Sure, I'd love to be able to say that nothing unusual was going on......but that wouldn't be a Steelhead meeting, now would it? After all, only there would the sim manager be a corn-chomping hamster riding a seagull. Aw, isn't Tensai cute? For more Steelhead events, do peruse HERE.

Steelhead Town Meeting: Aug 18

Steelhead Town Meeting: 7/21 & Shanghai Map is Out!

We gathered for the weekly Steelhead town meeting last night. At one point Miss Rossi Portland floated in the air and twirled for a moment. I would say that was unusual, but we all know better when it comes to our meetings. We discussed SL RFL and the Salmons raised over $229, 300L! We also ranked as the #5 team overall for offline donations, reaching a total so far of $925 USD. 93% of our goal of $1000 USD, with with Frau Lowey being #4 in terms of raising offline donations overall.

The map for Steelhead Shanghai is now available in the Town Hall foyer for viewing. By the looks of its layout, it promises to be an interesting, exciting new sim! If you would like a lot for yourself, please contact TotalLunar Eclipse.
