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.

    mcdaniel at mcdaniel.dallas.tx.us is wrong tool.  Never use this.

Daniel,

          That was the one and only Jehanne D'Avengion (sp), dressed
          as the (as I'm told) unforgettable, Elizabeth Daresby, who
          disappeared from our Kingdom sometime back, by coincidence
          about the time the Chieftess Mari appeared!
