There's a bed on the second floor. There's plumbing in the bathroom. There's a vanity in the second bedroom. There's an Elvis clock on the wall. There's a map of Steelhead City next to it. There's a cabinet thing below that. In the study, there's a desk, a chair, and a lamp (I'm usually sitting in there, if I'm not in my secret hiding place to get away from people). Front yard, there's a Steelhead flag, Edward's Fuzzball Scarecrow, and two lamps.
The big empty floor that some of you keep harping about......I rez several objects to check them out and do some editing to them, sometimes fiddle with building. I like it like that. May add a rug, but other than that, it stays as it is.
Now......ENOUGH of the comments about the lack of furniture. My house, I can do what I damn well please with it.

BOOMTOWN
At last nights town meeting, TotalLunar Eclipse unvieled plans for Steelhead's newest expansion sim, Steelhead Boomtown. Naturally, several residents kept thinking of the historical aspect of the term "Boomtown", and there's nothing wrong with that. Me, however, because of my warped way of thinking, I'm using the Gaslamp Fantasy approach with Boomtown and the lot that I'm renting there.
All I can say about it is:
There will be dancing.
There will be music
It'll have an awesome looking interior
And as soon as Lunar and I find the right exterior look, that too will be awesome looking.
To show you how much Lunar has been learning from Desmond.......he's already got a waiting list. Boomtown may be filling up fast. If you miss out, don't fret. As long as it doesn't cause any conflict with us being a quiet little community, Steelhead will be, hopefully, a total of 14 sims. So, you may get your chance to live in the best damned community across The Grid (No offense towards our friends in Caledon, Deadwood, or our other friends)

And Then There Were None
No more available plots in either Steelhead City or Steelhead Harborside. What an amazing year it's been. For some of us, this has been a real long time coming.
Only one original build from the old Steelhead City left. Miss Katt's home. She has given Lunar the go ahead to build her a new home on Lighthouse Island. She's already got a new bridge. Which is a good thing, too. The old bridge didn't look very sturdy.
Tuesday's town meeting, Lunar should be ready to reveal plans for Steelhead Boomtown. It'll be a mining community located to the south of Steelhead City. It'll have mountains, underground tunnels, and a few other really cool stuff for us to have fun in (and NO, it's not going to be a theme park). Some time after Lunar unveils his plans, I'll mention what I'll be doing with a lot in Boomtown. Other residents interested in lots in Boomtown are Nabila Nadir, Dominic Roffo, and Christine McAllister, so if you know anyone interested in a plot, best tell them to be at the meeting on Tuesday and stake their claim. There's a possibility that Boomtown will be filling up fast.
This year is going to be real fun.

Because We Could All Use A Laugh.....
Due to some residents getting really tense (which we will not go into, that's not what this post is about), I've decided that it's time to start a monthly comedy night. Basically, once a month, we all head down to the Kokopelli, and I play all the wacky and crazy songs that I've got stored. These will include comedy songs that I've played in the past, as well as songs that I haven't had the chance to play yet. So, if you love the goofy songs, this'll be the night for you. And maybe, maybe, just maybe, I'll actually break down and talk into the microphone.......maybe........
Also, I'm close......reeeeeeeeal close.......in obtaining the song that's a follow up to an old Steelhead favorite.

Few Things Here, There, And Yonder
One lot left in Harborside. Lunar may leave it empty, not rent it out, use it for something for himself. Not sure. There WAS talk of the Steelhead Church returning. Perhaps that would be a perfect spot for it?
Plans for Boomtown will be announced shortly. More details on that as they develop. Yes, I know, I dangle that carrot in front of you and then yank it back just as you get close to taste it.
Lunar is currently building the Steelhead Library. After which he'll finish up on the Steelhead Movie Theater (I hope they show cartoons, again. Sat in the old theater for an hour one night watching Popeye cartoons). After that.....dunno what's on his building agenda. I know he's waiting for Katt's approval to rebuild her house and lighthouse. I've requested a special build, but won't be rushing him at present. There may be someone else who has commissioned him for a build. I'm not sure, really, this isn't his blog. You'll have to ask him, yourself.
boB Ballyhoo, aka oldboB, will be returning to Oregon. He's........well........he ain't right in the head. Used to be a resident of Ambertown, until the flood had swept him out to sea. He had drifted out there for a week until he was found. He was never the same, since then. Spent alot of time babbling and such. Had been in the care of doctors back East, who are releasing him into the care of the residents of Steelhead. Perfectly harmless, I assure you.
Jobias Barthelmess sightings: January 15th, Tanglewood, near the Tiny Village. January 21st, New Babbage. January 28th: the Silver Mines of Vulgaria.
Aaaaaaand that's all for this post.

Steelhead And Flags
Somehow, Darien Mason, back when he ran the town meetings, thought it would be nice to have an official flag. Finally, we got one. Then Lunar wanted a flag for the Steelhead Navy.....wait a minute....we got a Navy?!?!....whatever....so, a flag for the Navy is in the works. I would comment on the fact that some Steelheaders seem to have a flag fetish, but I have to remember that the below pic of Charisma Carpenter is my desktop wallpaper, so I really shouldn't criticize.
(After staring at the pic for five minutes)
Hmmm? Oh.....Couple of plots left in Steelhead Harborside. Plans for Steelhead Boomtown is currently in the works. Ummm...Steelhead was founded in 1854.......ummmm.....

A Whole Year....
January 27th and January 28th. I remember those dates.......
First a little backstory......
November of 2006, Darien Mason, then Sheriff of Steelhead, called the first of our weekly town meetings. During that time, Steelhead City was.....well......it was empty. Just me in my, then, little home, Lumina in her skybox, and Katt in her home on Lighthouse Island. Darien felt that it was time to turn things around and make Steelhead a popular place to visit. Before that meeting, he had heard me DJ for the first time (after weeks of fighting for a chance to DJ in different places). One of his ideas was to have a night for me to DJ, figuring it would be one of the things to get people to visit. Of course, there was the management that was around then.......and led to more weeks of me fighting for a chance to DJ.
I'm not sure what to say about previous management. Seemed that every idea we tried to give to help Steelhead had been shot down. One time, Lunar and Tensai were told that they couldn't build on the lot they were renting without management's permission. Previous management tried to weasel out of an argument by giving some cock and bull story about being able to showcase their builds. I thought it was bullshit, Lunar thought it was bullshit. So, in the end.....it was bullshit. As for other ideas, turned down with no reasons, or reason being money needed to spend for it to happen.....again, more bullshit.
Everyone was aggravated. Everyone wanted to make Steelhead a place that was special. During this time, Caledon had alot of respect for Steelhead and what it could become. Amazing, when you consider that this was during what I referred to as "The Dark Times" (majority of which I will not discuss, it deals with dishonesty and a broken heart. Those involved would rather leave it in the past). The aggravation, the stress, the lack of communication....unfortunately, it all led to Darien being removed from the sheriff's position. Dark Times....in the past.
The night it all came down, Steelwolf Pascal and I were standing in the old town hall. He was in several IM's with the parties involved, I waited, figuring someone had to stand in for the townfolks. It was then that everything was brought into light (remember the lack of communication? There were things that we citizens didn't know until I found out what was what). The way things are running now, pretty much is how it was set up then.....only now, it's more organized and run better. Hardest thing for me that night was knowing that Darien had stepped on too many toes, and hearing Steelwolf say that he had to tell Darien to turn in his badge.
January 27th of last year. I come onto The Grid, and there's an IM waiting for me from previous management. The position of Sheriff was open and Katt, Steelwolf, and management wanted me for that position. A friend that I had known long before coming to Steelhead had been fired as sheriff, and it was being offered to me. It was a hard decision to make, seriously, it was. But, I did accept it. But, that day, I was very uncomfortable with it. Even after Darien came and spoke with me, letting me know it was ok and he had to accept his fate, I was uncomfortable. Truth be told, I had a sneaking suspicion that previous management was going to look over my shoulder at everything I did and keep me on a tight leash. It never came to that. The next day, the Dark Times started to come to a close....
January 28th of last year. I receive word that previous management had resigned. "One less thing for me to worry about" I thought. About....oh, I'd say, thirty minutes later (actually, I think it was less), word came that TotalLunar Eclipse and Tensai Hilra had been appointed the position of Steelhead managers. From there things started to change.
With Katt's permission, Lunar began changing the look of the town. The new hotel/ballroom. Silver Rose's new store. My home. Town hall. We were getting a unique look. There were two bubble brained pea headed residents who were complete doody heads, but they were gone soon after (one left on her own accord, the other Tensai told to leave and never come back.....I'll tell those stories another time, looooove talking about stupid people). Katt had started walking around Steelhead more often, talking to the citizens who enjoyed visiting her town. There was better communication between the citizens and Steelhead officials. Steelhead town meetings are the highlight of a lot of people's weeks.
We went from "Weird Wild West" to "Gaslamp Fantasy". 1850's to 1890. More Caledonians came to visit more often. The Steelhead/Caledon Harvest Festival. Steelhead Harborside came open. On Real Life Calender Date of January 28, 2007, The Dark Times ended, and Steelhead's new age began.
On a side note, Darien returned to medicine. He became a Steelhead councilor at my request. He tried to start on what we succeeded in accomplishing (who knows, if Lunar and Tensai were managers when he was still sheriff.....he might still be sheriff). In a way, I felt.....and still feel....that Steelhead's new age was due in part to that first meeting he called in November of 2006. The man loves Steelhead and he deserves some recognition for that.
It's been an amazing year. And this coming year should be fruitful, too. Steelhead will continue to grow with Steelhead Boomtown. We've got more events with Caledon. Good Lord, I have no idea what's comin', but it's gonna be good.
I hope you're proud of what we've done our first year, Katt.
