<BR>
*Steppes 12th Night
*wInterkingdom: Lucet class
*I received my Grant in February in the form of an Iris at Kingdom A&S, held in Eldern Hills. It was definitely a surprise, and a welcome one at that. I'd almost talked myself out of going to the event but came back around when a caravan was assembled, and anyway, I had bearded hats to deliver to Adena before Company of Wolves the following weekend.
*Gulf War XXI: I ran the camp kitchen and was staff at Volunteer Point. (JP Land) Octavia sammich ninja'd!
*Triumphe VII - of the Apocalypse! Autocratting with Reis


'''2011'''

* [[Elsa's Event Write-Ups]]

'''2006'''
===Affiliations:===
*Gulf War XV: We took Thirsty the Magic Shed (the Bus) to War. (I think this is the year I helped Maggie with Land.)
* Married to THE Centurion [[Charles the Grey of Mooneschadowe]] of Mooneschadowe
*Triumphe I: Feast Steward with Aline as my Second. That was the inaugural year for the [['''Mooneschadowe Kitchen Party''']] because Charles loves me and wants me to be happy.
* Apprenticed to Master [[Beorhlic Folcwineson|Beorhtlic Folcwineson]]
*Blood of Heroes: The Damn Dirty Foreigners ride again. Magnus committed atrocities and Eirik got blamed for them.
*Winter War Maneuvers: Shannon and Sarah were allowed to go with us because we had a Certified Canadian caravan driver following the Bus.


'''2005'''
* Proteges:  
*Gulf War XIV: Cold War! Spent a lot of time at Troll. Green 6-person nylon from my parents. Charles was LDGC.
** [[Nalkah umm al-Jafnā]] 2019-ish and current
*Guardian XXV: Charles autocratted. I was M.Maggie's Second in the kitchen. This was the year with the white sausages. Ollj, AnneLyse, Kat, and a handful of others stayed up late to get this done after Maggie blacked out. This was also the year when we had surprise Calontiri coming out of the woods in such numbers that Rhiannon wrote a Treatise on Poo to account for the rest facilities.
** [[Castellana de Andalusia]] 2023-ish thru October 2026 pending elevation to Pelican
*Blood of Heroes: Return of the Damn Dirty Foreigners. I think this was the second year we brought the bus to this event. They'd told us the year before that we couldn't use the couches to block the goal post unless they had tabards, so we sewed couch covers with bulletholes so we'd be able to use the couches. They still argued that we weren't using the couches legally.
*Winter War Maneuvers


'''2004'''
* Former Protege:  
*Gulf War XIII: JP's Knighting! Did a lot of Waterbearing. Double-long Army half-shelter tent.
** [[Diana de Blyth]] 2021-ish thru May 2026; moved to Calontir
*Guardian XXIV: Helped Mark von Mainz in the kitchen
<BR>
*Blood of Heroes: Introduction of the Damn Dirty Foreigners. We had the bus and therefore List-Side couches, at the rural site with the tiny grocery store at the end of the road, and we bought steaks and kitchy Christmas mugs for the Feast of Meat.
*Winter War Maneuvers: Charles told me that girls don't go to this event. Shows what he knows. Bonnie went the previous year. I sammich ninja'd this year. I think we took the bus this year. Adena, Emmalina.


'''2002'''
===Mundane Information:===
*Gulf War XI: First War! Did a lot of wandering around and Waterbearing. Army half-shelters in the Mooneschadowe Ghetto. The highlight of the War was chatting with then-HL Maggie at the Ghetto campfire while I attempted to make grilled cheese sandwiches.
