Two points... funny you should mention Her Excellency... we happened to be in the same cabin at John Barleycorn, and by sheer coincidence, it was she singing the 4000 verses of the Moose song. I actually went out at around 11PM looking for Puck, discovered he was asleep (seems his Master works him to death or something) and realized that it was fortunately impossible for us to get lost in the dark; we could just follow the sound.


The other... I hear a rumor that the restaurant had more SCAdians dining
with Isabella and Andreas than stayed to eat onboard at that Coronation
(neither a joke nor an exaggeration, apparently) although this may
simply be inaccurate. Let's say I heard head counts from both sites.
