Greetings are sent to the good gentles of Brendoken,

The final countdown has started. Land grab day is so close that the Annual Pennsic Panic has officially started. There are only a few short days to finish those War projects, check out the stuff used last year, pack the tent, the garb, the food, the bed, the banners, the armor, the weapons, the bow, the arrows, the thrown weapons, the rapiers, the list of classes to be taught and taken, the drinking water, the cook stove, the propane, the extra blankets, sleeping bag and wool cloak, the hot water heater, the shower, the beer, and, oh, did I forget? The spending money. 

We SCAdians often refer to Pennsic as a party where you have invited 1300 of your favorite people. Well, if not 1300 favorite people, at least a whole bunch of good gentles who are focused on one dream: To recreate a place out of time, a small Camelot in the midst of a very mundane and crazy world. To those who are able to attend this event, may the Pennsic War XXXVII be this and more. On behalf of those who must stay home, we promise to bring back photos, stories, and memories to share!

For the Alexander and myself, this Pennsic will be tinged with the knowledge that this will be Our last Pennsic as the Baron and Baroness Brendoken. Forgive Us, should Our emotions be visible. We have had the privilege to watch this barony blossom into something magnificent. It is hard not to show Our gratefulness and delight.

TThere are many opportunities to participate at War. We hope you will take advantage of them. Please come and visit us all at the Baronial Encampment in NO3. The banners will be out so you can't miss us. Be sure to attend the Baronial Revel on Tuesday, August 5th, at Brendoken's camp. There will be a baronial court, food to eat and friends with whom to talk.

IBe safe, have fun… Draco Invictus!

Yours in Service to Brendoken and the Midrealm,
Alexander and Catriona
Baron and Baroness Brendoken
