Does this make the visitors, "vigilantes"? :-)

*Two* class tents? Wow, this will be a big affair. And considering how 
much you have done for the A&S classes at Pennsic, I think having it 
there is totally appropriate.

I've often thought that if some king were to make me a Pelican (hey, a 
Laurel or a Knight is even more unlikely! :-) ) and I couldn't have the 
ceremony done at Pennsic, I'd want to do something like this at Pennsic 
simply because only part of what I do with the Florilegium is for my 
kingdom and I'd want to celebrate it with more of the folks I do it 
for. Of course recreating some of a period knighting ceremony would be 
neat, too.

Then again, I might simply say "Okay. Let's do the ceremony next 
event". Before the king changes his mind. :-)

Hmmm. Anyone know if anyone has been offered a Peerage, but had the 
offer withdrawn before it actually happened?
