SC - Grande Feast

[Huette von Ahrens]

Hmmm!  I too am seriously tempted to do another
pilgrimage to Ansteorra, just for such an event.
How about you and I going together?  I'll spring for
the plane tickets and lodging, if you could afford the
car rental?  Or better yet motorcycle and sidecar
rental?  [Two Fat Mistresses Visit Papa Gunthar.]

So, exactly where in Ansteorra will this be and what
time frame?

Huette [this is a serious offer]
