The following message is printed by the Gazette at the request of Lord Martyn de Halliwell.

On Saturday, a reporter from BillyPenn.com, a local Philadelphia news-blog, attended part of East Kingdom Coronation. The reporter spent time speaking with several people before Court and through Last Court / Coronation Court.  Several people were instrumental in providing a wonderful experience for our guest.

I would like to thank Baroness Aneleda Falconbridge, the East Kingdom Media Liaison, who offered advice and guidance when I contacted her ahead of the event. For their work on the day of the event, thanks also go to Dueña Mercedes de Calafia, Baroness Ysmay de Lynn, Master Peter the Red, Lady Suba al-Hadid, and Lady Iseault of the Clews who sat with her during Court and explained what was going on.  Also a thank you to Lady Katrin Daans for loaning some accessories to complete our reporter’s outfit for the day.

These are the gentles I know who spoke to her, but I know several others did as well.  To anyone else who took a moment to speak to the reporter, thank you, you were all shining examples of “crazy, insane, wonderful people.”

Please take a moment to read the finished article, it is wonderfully done, and be sure to share it with all your friends and family:
