[Western] Coronation Thank You

[Pam Rabb]

Greetings to all of my Fellow Ansteorrans,

Coronation was a big success.  I have so many people to thank that it is 
going to take a while.

First, a huge thank you to Aaron and Britta for trusting me to be Their 
Auotocrat for this most important event.  It was an honor and a privilege. I 
hope I served you well.  I poored my heart and soul into it for three 
months.  I love you both.

Second, I couldn't have done this without the four people who held me up:
My Co-Autocrat Mistress Marthe de Blenkinsop: I'm sure I tried your patience 
more than once.  Thanks for sticking with me.
Event Reservations and Merchant steward Behiye bint Kismet:  My rock.  
Thanks for wiping away all those tears and keeping me on track. And your the 
pregnant one!!  You got some awesome merchants for us. Thanks,
Hotel coordinator Lady Muirghein MacKeirnan: Thanks for the countless hours 
you spent everyday keeping up with all of those hotel reservations.  I know 
the rest of the kingdom appriciates you as well.  Good job.
Head of gate Nikaia:  This wasn't an easy job.  You did great.  Now keep 
those color coded folders.  You'll be needing them.
Now we can rest for a couple of days.... until we start planning Day in 
Ireland.

Lady Isoulde.  George, What can I say?  You did it again.  Feast was as your 
usual....wonderful.  Everyone loved it.  You did great and made it look so 
easy.  Thanks!

Baron Kainin thanks for a wonderful King's Champion tounament.  That was a 
lot of work and it was a lot of fun.  I only wish I could have seen more of 
it.  Such is the life of the autocrat.

Crossrode Keep for the etched plate gate tokens.  They were great.  It was a 
hard job but they turned out beautiful.  Thanks!

Thanks to Lanta of Bonwicke and Katherine of Blacklake for the Children's 
events, Lady Elizabeth Blackthorn for waterbearing, Lady Genevieve del Gamba 
for Chiurgeon, all the Heralds, Marshalls, Lyst Mistresses, Feast Servers, 
those who came out Friday night to decorate and Sunday afternoon to clean 
up.  And so many others.  I thank you all.

Master Modius for putting up with my tardiness on....well almost everything.

And Ryah.....the keeper of my focus.  Thanks.

A huge and special thanks to my Amazon sisters for a most beautiful Hafla.  
Khadija and Yamina did a great job coordinating everything.  I can't tell 
you how much I enjoyed it and I know everyone else did.  The pavilions, the 
drums, the dancing, the food.  It was over the top. THANKS!!!

If I have forgotten anyone, my appologies.  There were so many my brain has 
begun to leak.   I know so very many made this possible and you are all 
appreciated.

It's going to be a great reign!!!!!

Vivat Aaron!!!  Vivat  Britta!!!!!
Vivat Ansteorra!!!!!

In Service,
*Lady Caitrionag inghen Dhomhnaill*
