I'd just like to point out that Poisoned Dwarf will be playing as well! And I'm sure my sister'll be dancing (Irish). Haha, I wish it were time for the festival already. I'm so good at being patient

Jerry, that is indeed a good lineup of musicians. I also enjoy the historian, David Ross. I'll be manning the MacCallum Malcolm Clan tent, it's first appearence there.

TKW, let's not rush things as there are a number of Scottish Festivals to enjoy before we get to October!

Fair enough, and I know Williamsburg isn't the biggest festival either, but I can pretty much bike to it; I love when they're so close! (I say "pretty much" because I've never biked in my kilt, so I'm not sure if I could manage it without being too indecent or ruining the kilt...

It depends on the bike. This'Townie' works well. And the sporran keeps the apron down.

Oh poop! I should have known not to say that!! They've moved it once again. It's not even in James City County. Granted, Lanexa is a pretty area by and large, but once the festival was maybe a quarter mile from my parents, then it was moved to a place a couple miles away and now into Lanexa? Soon it'll be the Charlottesville Scottish Festival. haha

Well, I for one see a silver lining in everything; it'll be a great excuse to stop by Pierce's Pitt BBQ (Yep, that's right-it's pit BBQ!) for a nice pulled pork sandwich either on the way up or back (or both!).

Pierce's Pit BBQ, have stopped there a few times traveling down I 64. I've spent a few hours this weekend working on a frame for my clan tent banner preparing for Williamsburg.

There's something about a place that revels in it's bright yellow-kitsch and good food (unless you only eat carolina bbq).

Make sure everyone in the clan knows about the location change. My sister's dance group was originally told it was going to be at the Jamestown campground area like it was last year (in case you went).
