Knowne World Costuming Symposium Thanks

Greetings unto the Populace of Jararvellir,
Northshield, and the Knowne World!

I would like to send a hearty thank you out to all of
you who made this past weekend’s Knowne World
Costuming Symposium such an enjoyable and memorable
experience. Thank you for sharing your holiday weekend
with us! And now for the round of thank yous
 (This
always gets long and yet is so very necessary!)

Thank you to all the Royals who traveled from near and
far to support the arts and sciences. We were happy to
host the entire Northshield Royal Family as well as
His Royal Majesty of Calontir and Her Royal Majesty of
the West.

Thank you to all the wonderful teachers who gave up
the opportunity to take classes in order to share
their knowledge with others. We were blessed with a
wide selection of classes from a variety of time
periods and cultures, ensuring that in every class
period there were multiple appealing options for every
attendee. All told, there were eighty-five hours of
classes offered in up to eleven class tracks! Vivant
for the teachers!

Thank you to my most excellent staff, whose tireless
efforts made this event possible. I would most
especially like to thank Marian Elizabeth
Wollenschlager, my excellent troll-lady and site
liaison. She made it possible to get our wonderful
site and then was there from site open to site close
to ensure that everything went smoothly, and still
found time to rescue attendees in need. Also deserving
of high praise is Iohanna Carracci, our class
scheduler, and Paul Wickenden of Thanet, our
proceedings editor. They took those dozens of classes
and organized them to produce a coherent schedule and
a most pleasing proceedings handout. Another special
thanks to Leona Talbot, my fantastic webmistress who
was so patient and prompt to comply with my multitude
of updates, changes, and assorted whims. It was a
blessing to have such a pleasing, complete and
up-to-date resource available to all the attendees
from across the Knowne World as they planned for the
event. Thanks also to Cassandra Antonelli, Josceline
Levesque, Yseult de Cherbourg, House Greyfeather and
Heregyth, Elizabeth Wren, Jose Sao Pacien, and
Reinholdt von Trollenhagen who provided instrumental
support throughout the event. Thanks also to the many,
many folks who stepped in to work at troll, sat a
shift as a royalty guard, or otherwise made themselves
useful wherever needed. It is often the unsung
multitude of hands who make the difference in an event
such as this, and you all have my thanks.

Once again, thank you to all who attended or otherwise
participated in the Known World Costuming Symposium. I
look forward to seeing you at the next one!

Yours in Stitching Service~
