My Fellows,

 I have to admit, I seem to handle heckling better than praise.
I am astonished at the enthusiastic response I've gotten since Their Majesties offered me this job. I guess I'm doing something right.

 Thank you, all of you. The audience is the master I serve, but I have always hoped for the admiration of my fellow entertainers more than anything else. Those of you who descibe me as an inspiration or an example, I'm sorry, I don't know how to respond but to say thank you. 
Thank you - feels so simple and pat, especially since so many of you were my examples, my inspiration, my standards and markers to improvement. 
It's an honor to know all of you and to be counted as one of you.

 A number of you have asked if there was anything you could do to help with my elevation. Well, there is, and this goes for everyone on this list and any performers you may know that might be coming to Steppes.

You can stop by my vigil, take a mug of good brew from the Honorable Brotherhood of Brewers, eat from my tables and tell me what you expect in a performing laurel, what you expect of me.
You can come to the bardic circle Saturday night after court and support the finalists for the Steppes title, and stay to get a good ol' fashioned circle running.
I have no doubt I'll be emotionally and physically exhausted and I'm likely leaving Sunday morning (I have some Monday obligations, despite the holiday), but you can bet your boots I'll be at the circle Saturday night.
