Interesting.
Anyone know if there's going to be a pipe band competition? It doesn't say so on the site, and it's not listed on the EUSPBA or SUSPBA pages, so I'm guessing there won't be.

Did you guys to the Tampa Bay Ren Fest this year? Always impressed with the falconeering demonstration there.

Iain, are you planing on a trip to the games at Penscola?
Where in Central Florida are you? I'm in Astatula out near Leesburg.
I will be making the trip up for sure.

Joly | Probably not. If there was a pipe band competition, it's more likely I would have gone, hitching a ride with my daughters, who are in a band (piper and swing tenor). But Pensacola is a good drive from Sanford, where I'm at.
I've also been a bit disappointed with Games so far this year. Vendors -- understandably -- are quite a bit fewer, and that's the second reason I go to games, after hearing the pipes. Seems like a bad year to start up Games, but I wish 'em luck.

It is a long ride. I hope they are not disappointment. Trying to talk the wife into going along for company, but she's not to interested in the long trip.
I get over to Sanford quite a bit, maybe we can have a coffee(tea) sometime.

Joly | That sounds good. Kilted, of course.
Second-to-last time I was kilted in downtown Sanford, my wife overheard one cop say to another, "Is he wearing a skirt?!" Didn't hear the reply.
Some old guy in the Goodwill shop made a disparaging comment that I ignored. (I thought, "Why on earth would a complete stranger comment negatively on someone else's clothing choice?" and figured even telling him to get a life was a waste of my breath.)
The folks in the bike shop appreciated the kilt.

Which bike shop were you in? I'm know in most of them, but haven't been in any Kilted. They know me well enough know to make any wrong comments about what I wear, though it wouldn't matter. My skin isn't that thin. And most know when they see this 6'4'' 250# Scotsman "let it lay" I may be 63 years ol but these wrinkles are a war map, not lines from age!
Sometimes you can measure a persons intelligents by what coming out of their mouths.
Od course KILTED. Lunch will be on me. If we are on for lunch.
