3rd Nor Cal Rabble Burns Night Supper (photos, videos, and text)

This thread is dedicated to the mighty Nor Cal Rabble's third annual Burns Night Supper.

Here shall be found a myriad of images, videos, and the text of speeches from a most memorable evening.



Members of the Nor Cal Rabble,

Please help me share our evening with the good Ladies and Gentlemen of X Marks the Scot, and show them how we celebrate the life and works of Robert Burns in our own unique style.

Cheers

Jamie

The Saltire has returned safely from its recent adventure. Remember to make your entry in the log book as it will be leaving very soon.



Table decorations are in place.



And the first of the refreshments have arrived.







More to come. Video seems to take forever to upload.

I just have to comment and say that I think making a photo-montage of various sporrans like this is an absolutely fantastic decorating idea! I may just have to try it out myself!

The whisky supply has grown considerably.



The good folks at Devil's Canyon Brewery were not able to attend this year but graciously sent some of their Full Boar Scotch Ale. All sing their praises!
