| | | Soon to be visiting Victoria, BC
My wife and I are driving out to Victoria in a week-and-a-bit to visit her family out there.
We'll be in town from around Sept 6 to perhaps the 16th.
I'll definitely have to drop into Freedom Kilts while I'm out there and see Steve's shop, and be amazed by the intravenous coffee connection everyone mentions <grin>
Any chance of getting some local kilties together one evening for a few pints? Is there anything good going on during this period?
Chris...

Chrissss,
Thank you for the advance warning. I'll go book my plane tickets now to insure that I am far out of town for your visit.
Seriously, I'm sure we can get a couple of the rabble together and show you our fair city.
Do you know where you will be staying?

That's great, Chris! We'll be around, and we're always up for a pint or two.

Do you know where you will be staying? | We'll be staying with my wife's sister and her husband in Esquimalt, somewhere near the Tudor House (ah, memories from my old college days... that and the 6 Mile House and the Colwood Inn)

Chris... | The Tudor? Ha, ha, you could have found me down the road at the Halfway House (where/when the pool tables cost the same as a beer - two bits)!

Well, in town now. I met up with Steve today to get measured for one of his kilt jacket/waistcoat sets. What a great store, and Steve's a great guy to talk to. And he was mobile, drinking coffee from a mug instead of the IV drip hooked to his veins!
Anyone up for a couple pints Friday night?
Chris...

I'm volunteering at the Great Canadian Beer Festival Friday night, but if I know where you'll be I can come by afterwards (around 8:30 or so).

Chris,
Please give me a call at the shop so we can arrange a Kilt Night for you.

Probably a little late to set up something, but my wife and I will be at the 6 Mile House in Colwood around 7:30 tonight if anyone wants to drop in.
