Yeah, except for the fact that I was dressed in the period/culture of 
the event (Viking, though what I was wearing was actually 
Anglo-Saxon!)...seemed a little strange. Yes, it was very special...I 
didn't have a real ceremony when I received my Pel and they humored my 
wish (expressed to my lord) that I have vigil and the Four Worthies 
ceremony, done by 4 very dear, very old friends. And my vigil guards 
were members of my Barony. The really incredible thing was that they all 
had known about it since Pennsic, a couple of months earlier, and no one 
leaked the news.
