| | | April Nor Cal Kilt Night
Even though some of our friends couldn't make our kilt kilt (in preparation of the upcoming Woodland Games) it was a warm evening in Belmont and the Nor Cal Rabble did meet for good company and lovely refreshing beverages.
Here are a few pictures of our exploits
Farlander showing off the St David Tartan USA Kilt he bought from Tattoo Bradley: 
The Flame-Haired Amazon Goddess showing off one of her new corsets:  
The F-H.C.A.G. and Farlander with the lovely Damaris 
The ever colorful Bill and his lovely wife joined us. Bill is dealing with a few technical difficulties with his computer but hopes to join X Marks the Scot soon. 
Following Alan H's design Bill made his son an X Kilt as well as a sporran equipped with a bottle opener! 
More to come...

Sadly the Devil's Canyon Brewery is getting very popular and very crowded, Tim could barely get to his beer 
He was persistent though! 
Lots of X Marks the Scot Tartan on display this evening 
Bill and I gave the crowd reading material 
Bill's grandson and two lovely young lasses  "Exactly what are smoking there Bill?" 
More to come...

Bill brought a wooden toy duck on a stick with a curious mirror attachment.
The Flame-Haired celtic Amazon Goddess put it to use... 
But was she ready for what she saw? 
After an especially gruelling day at work Alan H. staggered in (wearing pants still so you know it was a rough day!  )  
It is always a pleasure to share an evening with the good people of the Nor Cal Rabble. Sadly we are begining to think that perhaps we need to find another venue for our kilt nights. We love the DCB and the wonderful people there but the place is just crazy from 5 till almost 9!
Most of us will be meeting up at the Woodland Games on Sunday so keep an eye out for more picture from the Nor Cal Rabble's kilted weekend.
Cheers
Jamie

Thanks so much for sharing your photos with us! Looks like you had a wonderful time  And WOW... that does look crowded... eek! Good luck finding another place to meet at, what a shame about the crowds 
Love your jacket, too... very cool! Do you get a lot of questions about it?

The X Marks the Scot clan patches are available from Steve Ashton (The Wizard of BC) in two sizes. This jacket has the large one while my lovely wife's cheerleader skirt sports the small one.
Cheers
Jamie

Great pictures! I'm glad to see the St. David's casual has found a good home.  I'm digging the jacket too, Jamie. VERY cool.

Glad you had a good time though must've been worth it.
