You can say that again! At our event last winter, their Majesties decided
to wait until one of our knights got back from taking a shower before
starting court. Not one of them had thought to tell the populace this
tho', so there we all were, sitting and waiting for court to start,
children getting bored and acting out of hand, parents considering
whether or not to leave and if so if they could get back in time when
court started (if indeed it was going to start - as time wore on, some of
us were beginning to wonder!), ect. Our poor feast stewart (he had other
problems that day, too, this was just the cherry on the cake, so to
speak) was trying to keep the feast from burning while the server in
charge of the tables was fuming because the tables were going to be set
up in the same space as court. To boot, we needed to leave the site at 9,
and court finally started around 6 - leaving us 3 hours to eat and clean
up.

The reason court even got started was a friend of mine who had been
helping in the kitchen (and even isn't part of our shire) went to the
queen, and told her that they really needed to start because of the time
restraints. For this, the Queen's Champion later found him (between court
and feast) and "executed" him on the spot, and told Franz that he was
dead for a month because of his impertinence. 
<sigh> never a dull moment around here!
