Req: Gleann Abhann Crown Lyst Schedule

Jean Richard Malcolmson · Fri May 20, 2005 2:34 pm

Can anyone tell me a rough schedule for the Gleann Abhann Crown Tourney, aside from "at the pleasure of Their Highnesses." I am driving in from East Texas to witness this historic event and I have local obligations Friday evening, thus plan to leave home very early Saturday morning. I would like to be there before morning Court, but I would also like to get some small amount of sleep tonight. If anyone could give me some guidence at to when things will be starting, I would appreciate it. For most Crown Tournies, I would just ask what was typical, but "typical" doesn't exist in this case.

Regards,
Duke Jean Richard Malcolmson, KSCA
Ansteorra

Wow - I'm glad I decided to check my email before leaving home.

Armor inspection 7:00-8:30 (you read that right). Procession to begin promptly thereafter. Fighting starts after they mange to get 30 or so combattants introduced to the crown (9:30?).

Then it's going to be fight, fight, fight until it's done. There is a tenative schedule for court and feast, but it's subject to change at very little notice (or none at all).

So am I. You're just the fish that I was hoping to catch in this net, in that I seem to recall that your better half is the Autocrat. I was hoping that you would do like I tend to do and check your e-mail (and the archive) before leaving for the weekend.

Thanks a bunch,
Richard

Yep that's my short squire checking everything. Yes his better half is Auto-crat which is why Marvin no longer has any hair

Someone please post the results when you here as I have two squires and a bunch of friends in the list.

It would be cool if one of our fellow Archivers won it!

Well I know Rey, Radu (Moose), Brandr, Marvin, Lachlan all are in the list and post on the AA. Not sure if Camric (Greenshield) is fighting or not and who else is on the list.

I know who I'm bettin' on. LOL Best of fortune to all, honorable fights all around, and the ABSOLUTE BEST to whomever the winners are. I'm very excited to have "new" neighbors to Ansteorra's east.

Coming soon! A new, improved Gleann Abhann with all new Royalty!!!

Maybe I should hope for the only ones I personally know. ;-)

I've met him personally and he's very cool, even if his wife thinks I'm an internet apparition (my tendency to _not_ make events) If Marvin would win, I could honestly say there's SCA royalty I've had a couple of double-kills with! (It was off-hand single sweord, ir he;d have waxed me in short order)

Well wishes to all our Archivers!
