Yeah thats 3 of us, Dirkskene said he was coming way back when he joined. I was posting it for ya'll as I think we the only ones somewhat close to it. I've been to it for the past 3 years and this one will be my first to be kilted and I can't wait. I'll prolly be in a black dickies workshirt, my baird modern kilt and hopefully wearing my x-marks kiltpin if it ever gets here. My buddy is gonna be his brodie tartan.

I would love to come to your Burns night but I can't take off work any till after march, aint it grand to be "needed"

We had to work saturday just so we could be off monday.
