Your Highness, from what I heard, you were *very* crowded last year
because of last-minute campers. Might I suggest a Kingdom-wide mailer
to all Seneschals asking folks to pre-register (and including a copy of
the pre-registration form)? Also, announcements in the next couple of
Black Stars would probably also help, if it isn't too late to arrange.

I know you've had at least one reply offering a fund-raiser. I would
encourage anyone else willing to coordinate such a thing to have at it.
Ansteorra has been a growing and impressive presence at Pennsic -- our
camp should reflect the glory of our Kingdom! I'll speak to Baron Alaric
and Baroness Kayleigh about trying to put something together for
Octavian, although it may be a little late as Octavian is this weekend!
If nothing else, perhaps we could at least "pass the helm." Everyone *is*
coming, right? ;-)

I get to go this year! I get to go this year! Please let Her Highness
know that I am at Her disposal, both at Pennsic and throughout Your
reign. And I *always* have fun at Pennsic -- I just seldom broadcast all
the reasons why!!
