I managed to pull in several different social circles and they all seemed to get along. There were some brethren from the OTO, some local members of the poly community, some SCA people, some old and new friends, and of course my darling Heather who put up with me as I dragged this behemoth into our house. Despite fighting off the last vestiges of flu which had taken her out since last weekend. (She smiles, nods, and coughs)<\/p>\n<p>So first off I&#8217;m going to try to thank everyone who came and made this celebration so enjoyable.
