I dont believe we have met, my name is Alrek and I have been at all of
the Gulf Wars but the first one.

Let's think together:
  Seeing your post I thought that I should take a piece of yarn with
gold and black beads to give out to every person in attendance at the
Ansteorran party, or just pat them on the back and tell them "welcome to
the party", or maybe locks of our fighters hair, but then all of the 300
people that attend would be looking for something to do so we could all
be quiet and listen to a bard scream their head off to get everyone to
hear.  We live in a real world and know that they would go away from
that party not with a positive outlook on Ansteorra but they would go
away to find another party.  There are dancing parties at Gulf Wars and
bardic circles, but after a day of fighting the fighters want to talk to
each other and feel companionship by sharing a drink.

I will be bringing alcohol to Gulf Wars because my King has asked me to,
and whoever would like to drink responsibly (as long as they are of age)
are more than welcome, including you mi'lady.

Come to the Ansteorran Party and drink some wolfsfire,
Alrek
