<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had the great honor of organizing the bardic
competition at Wiesenfeuer this weekend. I would like to begin by saying that
each of the performers was outstanding. They did not make it at all easy on
those of us who had the agonizing task of choosing the winner.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let me be the first to say a heartfelt vivat
to the newest titled bard, H.E. Uriah Wolfstar. Uriah's piece in the final round
was Shakespeare's "Once more into the breach.." speech adapted for
Ansteorra and it was absolutely riveting. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The bardic fire led by H.E. Uriah last night ran
into the wee hours of the morning and boasted some amazing performances as well.
It was a good weekend for bardic in Wiesenfeuer. </FONT></DIV>
