Farewell Steelhead

At tonight's Steelhead town meeting, Lunar announced that due to RL circumstances he will be closing all of Steelhead's sims by the end of this month...

I had seen this coming. Knew it. But it still didn't make hearing it any easier. I walked back to Harborside as I have done after meetings for years...

I have spoken so many times of the ephemerality of SL. This was my virtual home. This was where I came back to when I returned. So many years. So many memories. I took down everything and afterwards, just sat on a box at Laval Point with a pic of my original home on it. I just wanted to sit there for a while...

I know it was a very hard decision for Lunar to close down and by default, close a community. I stood and watched one of my most favorite things in Steelhead: the sun rising from off of the bridge.

Farewell Steelhead.

A Brush With the La-AW...

Here is the handsome werewolfie Sheriff Fuzzball Ortega of Steelhead (full name: Demetrius Ezekiel Fuzzball Ortegavich), stopping by the Loft pub. He was checking to make sure that I was being "good" (heh...good luck with that) and staying within the conditions of my probation. Hmph.
