Just to let you know...I spoke with the autocrat last night. It's her 
first time out, so she's still learning. At any rate, things are in 
motion to make everyone aware of the event and how great we think it 
will be. We sent messages out to the Kingdom list, Seneschals, 
Chroniclers and Kingdom Orders. We are also sending special written 
invitations to the Barons and Royalty. We are taking copies of the flyer 
to Coronation and other events that our folk are attending. And I'm 
making noises about the event on this list...hoping Atlantians here will 
spread the word in their local groups. I also suggested that she call 
the Kingdom Web Minister and, sounding really humble and sweet (which 
she can do to a "fare-thee-well"), tell him that she didn't realize when 
the deadline was, so that's why it was late getting in and would he 
please be kind enough to put it on the Kingdom calendar with a link to 
our Web page. Hopefully it will work, though he has proven to be less 
than cooperative in the past.

Unfortunately, lately there seems to be a perception that we are here to 
serve the rules rather than the other way 'round.
