500th Anniversary

[VIII]

We intend it to take about 15-20 minutes.  More than 20 minutes and the audience will start to wander away unless it is really spectacular.  Once we get though editing the script, we will give it a run-through and have a better idea of how long it will take.

On another note: Scarborough Faire owns one of 9 copies of the Crown Jewels.  They used to be on display at the Tower of York.  We will be utilising several of these for the Re-coronation.

I really do hope you can find part of that coronatoin speech, sorry I couldn't help. 

You've got to be the luckiest King alive... copies of the crown jewels!!!  TO DIE FOR!!!!  Gosh I wish I had unlimited funds to get those sorts of things for myself...

[Stalkwell]

I'm sure we will have a few photos *cough-STALKWELL-cough* of the event.
Now, if only we can have a few dedicated videos made...

That's a mighty bad cough, your maj... the plague, mayhaps?  I have just the leech for that malady.  I or one of my cronies will be in the area with a digital 'Flemish painter' to commemorate the occasion.

Stalk well...

Wouldn't miss it. We were planning on that weekend. 500 years, my how time flies!~

I'm still trying to wrangle a way to make this event. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Alas, we're going to be at a wedding in San Antonio on Saturday.  How long does it take to get to Waxahachie from there?  Going to try to twist m'lord's arm into getting there on Sunday just for the re-coronation and then heading back to Houston.  Really do not want to miss this!

[Clarendon]

I have friends that live in San Antonio and according to them it's about a 5 hour drive.

[DonaCatalina]

yay!
I got the day off on May 4 so we can come May 3 and see the Coronation.

[Queen Bonnie]

 I would love to be there too. I shall try to conjure up a ride for Sunday!!! ***Waves wand hopefully!***
Anyone in the Austin area going for the day? I'll help with gas!

Re-coronation?  I don't even remember the election!

[Queen Bonnie]

 You missed it, Tuckaram? VIII won!

For those who may not know, will re-post.

May 3rd, Sunday. At/around 1:30pm in the area where the knighting ceremony and evening Court Dance is held will be the re-coronation of King Henry the VIII in honor of the 500th anniversary of his orginal coronation in 1509.

Some of the village will be there prior to this time in Pecan Grove, prepping the crowd for the ceremony.

They'll be using our replicas of the Crown Jewels, so if you think the crown looks familiar, you're right!

[Al-Nimer]

Hopefully there will be plenty of time to get down there after the parade and find a good place to watch...we usually get back to BDT around 1:25, so it will be close.
