Odd synchronicity.  Bjornsborg 20th Year had one today; the baron
claimed it was the first one for the general populace for a decade.
(The MoP was the reason I went, in fact; Callisto was gracious enough
to let me help and kibbitz.) I'll report more on what was done and how
well it went *after* I write to the SCA Heralds' mailing list to ask
how other kingdoms do it.  Not that this one wasn't interesting and
fun, but it's not what I had thought a priori a "march of precedence"
would be.

BB20th was really fun in other ways.  I missed Ragnarok, since I was
off cruising the (relatively few) merchants, but I'm told it was good.
Who was that woman dressed as -- "Elizabeth De<something>"?  Gunnora
was in it up to her eyestalks; doubtless she'll report.
(Ppppplease?)  Even for someone who had to have the history explained,
it was hilarious to watch the longer-term members' reactions.
