We have received only a few Letters of Intent, and thisdistresses us greatly!  As we celebratethe 35th Anniversary of our fair lands, we are encouraging, letters of intentmore creative and beautiful than merely email, but we are eagerly awaitingletters in that medium, also.  Emailcopies can be sent to hsetrinity_at_aol.com. (Please note: If you plan on mailing or presenting a physical letter inwhatever medium, please send us an email note as well, so that we can ensure your entry.  If you know of someone who plans on fightingat the event, please remind them that a letter of intent and sponsorship by anartisan is required to be considered as one of our champions, and either aphysical or email copy must be received no later than October 12.)   Ouraddress is listed in the Black Star, or you can email us for more information. 
 
Also, please remember that we are asking that each combatantbe sponsored by an Artisan, who will give a token of their art to us.  It may be as humble as homemade bread or as exaltedas calligraphy or carving, but you may not sponsor yourself.
