Reign I

The Reign of Unity & Pride

The United Court of Austin, Inc. was born in 1994 as a result of many community minded individuals coming together bound by the mutual desire to help our brothers & sisters less fortunate than ourselves.  The seeds to start an Empire in Austin began in 1992, sprouted in 1993, and soon withered.  New life was breathed into that ominous beginning as a labor of love from all over the State of Texas when all of the existing Empires came to our rescue.  Once back on our feet and ready to go again, five members of the original cast set out to "make it happen" in Austin.  We incorporated, wrote and adopted bylaws, and got our 501(c)3 status.  Two sets of Monarchs were put in place for Reign I to reflect the "United" Court – Emperors I, Colton Courville & Garry Holley and Empresses I Jackie O'Dare & DeShannon.  The Reign was flying high with maximum exposure across the state, however, due to a conflict of interest, DeShannon resigned from her position as Empress I.  The remaining three continued and stepped down with "Masks Around the World" June 17, 1995.

Reign II

The Reign of Faith, Hope & Charity

Reign II began with Empress I, Jose, The Widow Norton crowning Emperor Garry Holley & Empress Billie T –the first elected Monarchs of the United Court of Austin, Inc. The first official act was Investitures which was an all day event beginning at M.C.C. followed by several mini shows at three clubs.

The main goal of this Reign was community awareness, interaction and acceptance of UCA as a viable 501(c)3 vehicle for improving the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS or breast cancer.  We were rolling along smoothly with many inroads being made as planned and lots of money being raised.  Unfortunately, Billie T decided that her resignation was in her best interest.  Garry continued on to finish the Reign as Absolute Emperor II.  The idea of commercial memberships was born and became a reality with clubs and organizations joining our efforts, thus achieving the interaction dream.  The awareness goal was evidenced by UCA being awarded with the "Col. Bob Collins Humanitarian Award" for the year.  The acceptance was obvious through the tremendous amount of money we gave back to our community.  The reign was extended two months due to hotel availability.  "An Imperial Evening at the Palace of the Pharaoh" brought Reign II to an end.

Reign IV

The Reign of Mythical Dreams & Legendary Futures

Reign IV began with the crowning of Emperor John Cummings & Empress Alix Courtnie.  The first order of business was investing the Line of Succession for Reign IV.  The year was filled with many fundraisers and charitable events.  The United Court of Austin attended every Texas Coronation, receiving "Best In-State Walk" in both Corpus Christi and Dallas.  Austin was also represented at several out of state coronations including Toronto, San Francisco, Reno and Denver, just to name a few.

After a long hard year of fundraising, the fruits of our labor had paid off.   The primary beneficiaries for the Reign were Pediatric AIDS League, Breast Cancer Resource Center & The HIV Wellness Center, who received the proceeds from Coronation V and the balance of account funds.

Coronation V, "A Night of Mythical Dreams & Legendary Futures," was held August 15, 1998 at the Airport Hilton.  After a wonderful evening of entertainment and court walks, the community had made its choice among 6 candidates, the largest number of contenders for one year in Austin's history.

Reign V

The Reign of Love & Courage

Reign V, being dubbed The Reign of Love and Courage, named so to represent each of the new monarchs, got off to a fast start after the crowning of Emperor Bob Hemby & Empress Cecilia Martay.  They were the first monarchs to present to their line of succession a membership handbook at the organizational meeting, which included line responsibilities, protocol, a history of The United Court of Austin, and a calendar of events planned for the upcoming year. 

The monarchs had several goals which were of great importance to them.  They first wanted to increase the visibility of The United Court of Austin in our community, throughout the State of Texas, and within the International Imperial Court System.  Collectively, the monarchs attended over 25 coronations. Also, wanting to be a very active force in raising funds for Austin charities, many fundraising events were conducted including two weekly and one bi-weekly fundraising events.  Finally, the monarchs wished to bring together various aspects of the Austin GLBT community and were very visible within the City of Austin within the bars & organizations, as well as attending charity functions other than those produced by the United Court of Austin. 

The monarchs also brought Club Skirt, a monthly fundraiser by women, for women, which was one of the largest regular fundraising events in the City of Austin to the corporate membership of UCA.  By bringing Club Skirt under our umbrella, the presence of gender females within the Court was raised. 

In August, 1999, Emperor Bob & Empress Cecilia presented Coronation VI "The Greatest Show on Earth" as an end to the Reign.  Coronation VI saw one of the largest crowds ever of an Austin Coronation.  Several local businesses and organizations walked in Austin for the first time, the perfect cap to a successful year.  The monarchs made it a point to thank and recognize all of those who helped make Reign V a success, from an outstanding line led by Female Line Member of the Year, Bebe Hughes, and Male Line Member of the Year, Bobby Birchmier and to the very active College of Monarchs led by Monarch of the Year, Alix Courtnie.

Proclamation:

HMRIM Bob: 15 % of all monies raised during the official functions of The United Court of Austin will remain in the general fund to produce the annual event known as Coronation.  Remaining funds will then be distributed to the charities chosen as beneficiaries of Coronation.

Reign VI

The Reign of Dedication, Love and Unity

Reign VI began with the crowning of Emperor David Pearson & Empress Dee Dee Davis.  From their step-up David and Dee Dee wanted their Reign to be different from any other, one that included all court members in the fundraising process.  The idea was to concentrate on one large fundraising event each month, instead of lots of small ones each week.  With the one event, we were able to incorporate the many talents of our line members and College of Monarchs, from large production numbers that everyone could be in, to being a host/hostess seating our guests, to helping in the building of sets, and the preparation of the food buffets. The events were a huge success, and Austin received recognition throughout the State of Texas.  These shows would not have been possible without the support of our Home Bar - Dicks Déjà Disco.  The owners, management, and staff of Dicks were extremely supportive. They allowed us to rehearse every weekend, they gave us a budget for our set expense every month to help with the costs (allowing us to give back more to our community), they allowed us to set up our stage a week in advance so that patrons would see it and be curious as to what was coming up, they prepared all of the food for our buffets, they placed full page color ads for the shows, they rented tables and chairs so that our guests could sit and enjoy the show, they even provided a wait staff!  We only wish that all of our Brother and Sister Courts in the Circuit could experience this level of support.

Our line members were amazing through the entire year.  As stated before we rehearsed almost every weekend.  The shows were usually on Monday nights, and the fact that we all worked so closely together for such long periods of time shows just how United this Court truly is.  This could also be witnessed at any one of the numerous Club Skirt events, during which Reign VI worked diligently helping in any way that we could.  Club Skirt is an organization of women from our Community that have a large social event each month to raise money for various charities.  We usually helped with bartending the events, and then break down and cleanup of the functions to wrap up the evening.  This tradition still carries to this day.  Even though it is a lot of work, it is a social gathering time for a lot of us also – time away from rehearsals, sets, and meetings, allowing us to have fun and help out our sisters.  If you get a chance to go to a Club Skirt event, great food, beer, wine, music and wonderful people make for an evening to remember.  

Reign VI ended with Coronation VII, “A Twisted Texas Ho-Down,” another of the largest and most successful Coronations in Austin than ever before.  David and Dee Dee will forever be grateful to The United Court of Austin and our community for all of the hard work, which allowed us to raise the most money raised in one year within the Austin Court than ever before.

Reign VII

The Reign of Growth & Devotion

Reign VII got off to an interesting start with the crowning of Empress Bebe Hughes at Coronation and Emperor Bobby Birchmier stepping up the next morning at brunch.  This interesting unfolding was due to the hospitalization of Bobby with appendicitis.  This truly would be an interesting year as the Empress threatened to make all the decisions at brunch, prompting the speedy release of the newly elected Emperor from the hospital to make his grand entrance that very morning.

We were off to a running start with Ft. Worth Investiture and Club Skirt Fundraisers within two weeks of Coronation.  After the success of Reign VI, there was a big challenge.  The monarchs were very proud to invest eighteen new line members at Investiture.

November brought even more light to the Reign with the addition of even more new members and shows at Dick's Déjà Disco.  The court also brought home "Best Production" from the Dallas Coronation.  The monarchs were intent on making their goal somehow.  They decided to add 3 awards for Coronation that would be determined throughout the year: Most Creative Benefit, Most Innovative Benefit and Most Fundraising Benefit.

During this reign, we suffered the loss of Empress I and Co-Founder of the United Court of Austin, Jackie O'Dare, which was a very sad time for those that were close to her.  We celebrated her life with a memorial service and show at Rainbow Cattle Company which brought in visitors from around the state.

Reign VIII

The Reign of Unification, Determination to an Unlimited Destination

Reign VIII began in August 2001 with the crowning of the seventh elected monarchs of The United Court of Austin, Emperor Dwight Arnold & Empress Ima Hoot.  The monarchs were very busy throughout the year.  Highlighting the Reign were The Austin Babtist Women's annual signature shows, The Disco Ball, Emperor Dwight's annual Hard Candy Christmas Show, The USO Cabaret Show, and many other unique and fun events.  The UCA made a splash by appearing in Austin's First Gay Pride Parade in many years.  We raised our visibility within the State of Texas and throughout the International Imperial Court System by attending many Coronations and events.

The UCA received several recognitions during the Reign including Brother Court to Colorado Springs where we also took home the awards for Best Production and Best Person in Theme.  From Houston, we received Best In Theme, From Dallas, Best Production.  We continued the tradition by reaching out to other organizations.  Empress Ima spoke at the AIDS Candlelight Vigil, and personally worked with Interfaith Care Alliance to produce Dinner with David.  Emperor Dwight was also very visible by producing several events and performing in most of the UCA shows. 

During Reign VIII, The Austin Babtist Women were honored with Entertainer of The Year by Ambush magazine, and were presented with the prestigious Jose Honors Award. 

Reign VIII came to a close with Coronation IX, “The Crystal Ball, A Frozen Fantasy.”  The monarchs created a frozen fantasy land complete with cool colors and red hot entertainment from throughout the International Court System.  Unique entrances were a hallmark at this event.  The monarchs were thrilled to welcome such a large crowd to Coronation IX.

Reign IX

The Dream of Diversity, The Power of The Promise

United Court of Austin Empire residents cast their ballots electing the first lesbian Emperor and first African American Empress to serve as the monarchs of Reign IX.  Longtime members Leigh Bray Rockhopper and Topaz began their monarch duties with an organization meeting wherein the first fundraiser of the reign as well as Investiture plans were solidified.  Dick's Deja Disco was dubbed the court's Home Bar with the Emperor naming the Rainbow Cattle Company as the Emperor's Corral and Chain Drive as the Emperor's Garage (Where He Hangs His Tool Belt).  Empress Topaz named 'Bout Time as her Imperial Palace.

Emperor Leigh and Empress Topaz selected Wright House Wellness Center, Project Transitions and Women Rising as recipients of their charity benefits.  Member unity was at the forefront of the reign with members planning and executing a float entry in the annual Austin Pride Parade, efforts rewarded with recognition by the Pride Parade Committee awarding the United Court of Austin winners of the BEST FLOAT award.  This reign was also first to enjoy corporate sponsorship provided by the Stoli Corporation which donated prizes and money as official sponsors of such court events as the monthly Court Jester contests, pool tournaments plus donating the ingredients for Mona's Notorious Jell-O Shots.

During the Coronation of the Central Texas Empire UCA Reign IX was presented the President's Award.  The monarchs traveled to various out-of-state coronations and were delighted their Imperial Crown Prince Gregg Dodson and Imperial Crown Princess GiGi LaRouge also attended out-of-state coronations expanding overall coverage of the circuit.  Emperor Leigh with the Imperial Blessing of Empress José I, created Castle Rockhopper and Empress Topaz created the House of Stix.  Both would provide vehicles for additional fundraising efforts on behalf of UCA.

Reign IX came to a close with the production of Coronation X THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT:  A Celebration of the Arts, An Evening to Dream on August 16th in the ballroom of the Red Lion Hotel.  Official sponsors for Coronation X were Rainbow Cattle Company and the Stoli Corporation.

Reign X

The Reign of Xcellence, Xcitement, and Xpansion

Where “X” Marks the Spot!

Reign X began with the crowning of Emperor Gregg Dodson and Empress GiGi LaRouge.  In keeping with the traditions of excellence of The United Court of Austin, Reign X set out to expand the membership and expand the venues to conduct fundraisers.  We were very fortunate to have the support of many of the local bar establishments: ‘Bout Time, Charlie’s, Chain Drive, Dicks Déjà Disco, The Forum, The Rainbow Cattle Company, and Xtreme/Sidekicks; which allowed us the opportunity to fundraise and further our goals of helping our local community; and representing the International Court System.

The Monarchs traveled the International Court System Circuit to a combined total of 29 Coronations. As Reign X traveled around the circuit, they were able to win best production numbers in Colorado Springs, Dallas, Houston, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio.

On August 13, 2004, Emperor Gregg and Empress GiGi presented “Coronation XI – An Evening at the White House: A Royal Affair, Where American Bandstand Rocks the Kennedy’s.” The backdrop of the ballroom was a replica of the White House; ensuring all guests the feel they were actually in Washington DC for a formal State affair. The Coronation was very well attended; as 19 Courts from around the Country; as well as many local business and organizations were represented. Gregg and GiGi thanked the line members for their dedication to their community and named Jamie Coley as Best Male line member of the year; and  Cori Sansoucy as Best Female line member of the year.  The proceeds from Coronation XI were distributed to two beneficiaries: Project Transitions and The Wright House Wellness Center.

Reign XI

The Reign of Reverence, Honor and Compassion

Ten years of service as members of UCA certainly influenced the decision of the voters with their election of Robert Evanson and Infiniti St. James as monarchs of Reign XI.  During Investiture, Mel Mills was dubbed Imperial Crown Prince with Diane Benjamin as Imperial Crown Princess.  Their Majesties appointed Emperor IX Leigh Bray Rockhopper as King Father and Empress IX Topaz as Queen Mother.

Reign XI brought about the resurrection of the fundraiser known as Chocolates for Charity which was created during Reign III by UCA members Ric Talbert, Topaz and Shayne James who would years later evolve as Infiniti St. James.

Chocolates for Charity (C4C) is the longest ongoing project in the history of UCA.  The event concept is one of members donating home baked (or commercial) desserts which are then sold at a host bar once a month on the night of the host bar’s Steak Night.  Over the years C4C has generated in excess of $11,000.00 for Austin area charities.

Emperor and Empress XI appointed Emperor X Gregg Dodson and Empress X GiGi LaRouge as Coronation XII Coordinators who produced an outstanding event at the Red Lion Hotel.  Emperor III Bobby Barnett and Empress VI DeeDee Davis created and constructed a set beyond Robert or Infiniti’s imagination.  The set of A Night On Mount Olympus Where Superheroes Clash with the God’s revealed to a standing ovation from the audience at the beginning of Coronation XII.  Another first for UCA was Empress Infiniti’s Command Performance by the Empress’s of the College of Monarchs.  The Royal Sovereign and Imperial Court of the Central Texas Empire was awarded Best Court Production with Tina Tawdré being recognized as Reign XI Outstanding Female Line Member with Jamie Cooley as Outstanding Male Line Member.

Reign XII

The Regency Reign

Visiting courtiers and dignitaries witnessed the crowning of Talor Barin as the elected Empress at the conclusion of Coronation XII held at the Red Lion Hotel on Saturday, August 13, 2005. There being no candidates for Emperor, the Board of Directors and the College of Monarchs jointly agreed to allow Empress Talor to reign as a sole Monarch for three months at which time they would address the possibility of appointing a Regent Emperor. At the Investiture XII, Empress Talor appointed Jamie Coley and Diane Benjamin to serve as her Imperial Crown Prince and Princess.

Empress Talor committed the court to the weekly production of the ongoing event known as Chocolates for Charity; an event normally conducted on a monthly basis. In November, the Board of Directors decided to appoint a Regent Emperor to assist Empress Talor. After letters of interest were submitted, the Board chose past Emperor IX, Leigh Bray Rockhopper, to be installed as Regent Emperor XII during the Regent’s Investiture held at Charlie’s Club on November 26, 2005. His Majesty appointed Mel Mills as his Imperial Crown Prince to serve along side the ICP’s appointed by Empress Talor. Regent Emperor Leigh assumed responsibility for the weekly production of Chocolates for Charity which by the end of Reign XII generated in excess of $6,400.00 for local charities.

In February 2006 a motion was brought to the General Membership from the Board of Directors for removal of Empress Talor. The motion carried and The Board of Directors requested Letters of Interest for a Regent Empress, resulting in Empress IX Topaz being appointed as Regent Empress XII. The new Regency Reign decided to forgo any new investitures; instead, focusing on moving the Reign forward.

The theme of Coronation XIII became: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACKS, Let the Music of the Movies, BLOW OUR MINDS.

Coronation XIII was held at The Woodward Hotel; which proved to be a tremendous asset in the production of Coronation. Visiting courtiers enjoyed our poolside Hospitality Suite which was solely for the use of our guests. Coronation Set Designers Emperor Bobby Barnett and Empress Dee Dee Davis received a standing ovation with the “Reveal” of the set with our stepping down Regent’s standing before their thrones at the opening of Coronation XIII. The male line member for Reign 12 was Buddy Allen and the female line member for Reign 12 was Saffire Trinity-Barin.

The Regents of Reign XII were elevated to full monarch status in a recrowning ceremony during Coronation. Their Majesties shall be known as Emperor IX and XII Leigh Bray Rockhopper and Empress IX and XII Topaz.

Back to Basics: The Reign of FUNdamentals

The ABC's of FUNdraising:

Angel | Bianca | Community

At the end of Coronation XIII visiting dignitaries witnessed the crowning of Empress XIII Bianca Fairchild and Regent Emperor XIII Angel, marking a history making event for the United Court of Austin. Being there were no candidates for Emperor, the Board of Directors appointed a Regent. This was the first time in UCA history a Regent was crowned at the same time as the duly elected Monarch. At Investitures the monarchs appointed Jake Dean Stone as Imperial Crown Prince and Simone Riviera as Imperial Crown Princess.

Regent Emperor Angel, Empress Bianca and all of Reign XIII were off to a fast start with several fundraisers. Keeping the momentum going of raising money for their community, with support from Charlie’s, Chain Drive and ‘Bout Time, the UCA continued with the weekly Chocolates for Charity as well as monthly cookouts at Chain Drive and several other shows and events.

Angel and Bianca were very grateful and fortunate to have a very active line of succession as well as a very active College of Monarchs. Especially one monarch in particular, Empress Mona littleMore who has either produced or co-produced events that generated in excess of 7,000 dollars for the Austin community.

The Monarchs represented Austin in a total of 18 coronations nationwide within the International Court System winning “Best State Walk” in both Corpus Christi and San Antonio respectively.

On August 11, 2007 Angel and Bianca saw the fruits of their labor at CORONATION XIV: "An Evening at the USO -- Where the Soldier Meets the Geisha: A Salute to War-time Glam." From the beautiful dais done by Emperor Bobby Barnett and Empress DeeDee Davis to the wonderful production numbers and other entertainment, Coronation XIV was a hit with 20 visiting courts from the International Court System in attendance along with numerous representatives from our local charities. Angel and Bianca thanked their line for all their hard work and recognized Crown Prince Royale Dr. Earle Lewis as Male Line Member of the year and Crown Princess Royale Rachael St. James as Female Line Member of the Year.
