[Ponte Alto] Sapphire Joust info

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

As the previous (as in the last Sapphire) autocrat, I'd like to interject.

We have indeed invaded Ponte Alto, and have been here for about two and a
half weeks, so far, in our little apartment out here in Fairfax!  We are
tickled to be part of Ponte Alto and can't wait to become involved!

 If you have ANY questions about the event, feel free to drop a line to
autocrat, Baron William Cameron.  Friday afternoon is generally setup and I
know in the past, they have appreciated anyone who's willing to help.  Folks
who are generally willing to help with set-up generally get onsite earlier.


There CAN be fighting on Friday (pickups and an occasional torchlight
tourney has happened in the not too distant past)... again, contact the
autocrat or their Marshall in Charge for specifics.

There is generally ALL manner of fighting, fun and festivities on Saturday;
with a lot of it spilling over into Sunday.  The site IS open til Monday,
but is usually closed on Noon at Monday (and trust me on this, the autocrat
would love to have the site empty by then because home is a wonderful thing
by then).

There is A&S aplenty as well on Saturday and Sunday... I heard a rumor of
classes as well as competitions and displays, but I could be wrong; I'd
suggest you contact the autocrat on that, too (do you sense a theme here?)

(and no Gorm, *YOU* don't need to figure out how to make other than red and
blue tabards, I think that's generally my job :-)
