FEATURE ARTICLES
HARBORSIDE IS HERE!
As a holiday "present" for all of us, Steelhead Harborside landed on Dec. 24! The sim was moved to the north of the City and opened to residents on the 27th. Residents quickly put up tents, caravans, small cabins, and tiny log homes and the silliness soon ensued with dogsled races and other fun. "We had a lot of people wanting residential land in Steelhead, yet we were only one sim. Desmond (Caledon's Guvnah), as well as other people, desired growth in Steelhead so hence the reason for us growing," said manager TotalLunar Eclipse. "I forsee Steelhead becoming quite the town. I will cap Steelhead so its not so big, but in general I have nigh hopes for growth."

It is not too late to be a Harborside resident as three 1024/six 512 lots are still available. Contact TotalLunar Eclipse for more information.

WATCH YOUR PRIMS AND LAND BORDERS
Residents are asked to please watch out for any prims extending outside of their land borders as they use the overall prim count of the sim. Also, make sure that items are set to the group as they will be returned otherwise.

FRIENDSHIPS EXTENDED TO OTHER SIMS
Steelhead has extended friendships and welcomes to the sims of Deadwood and Taupo. Deadwood is a historical Wild West RP sim with strict RP rules (such as no non-humans allowed), so please be mindful of this while visiting. In the past, the medieval, magical lands of Taupo and Steelhead have exchanged flags and made jewelry gifts for one of our events and Lunar has helped them with their cloak industry. His Majesty Dennis Albion visited the Jan. 8 town meeting and has invited Steelhead residents to participate in their upcoming fashion show.

MEQAL ON THE MENDSteelhead old-timers may remember resident MeQal Anna. Even though he is no longer in SL, Dr. Mason and Sheriff Ortega still communicate with him regularly through the Capper group (from where Darien invited the two over to SL in the first place). MeQal was in the hospital after having a stroke on New Year's Eve and doctors were also checking for an aneurysm. His real name and phone number to the hospital were provided so friends could check up on him. He arrived home the night of Jan. 3 and let everyone know that he was OK except for some numbness in his right hand, trouble kicking with his right foot, and difficulty swallowing. The doctors found no aneurysm. He was told to spend the week in bed, but insisted on sitting at the computer while on the mend.

He also had an interesting story to tell about comparing tattoos with his nurse. But that's not fit for publication in the Anvil ;)

THEATRE REBUILDING IN THE WORKS
By popular demand, Lunar is rebuilding the theatre. He will be basing its look upon that of the New York Theatre.

STEELHEAD FROM THE SKY
