Wonderful attire and smiles to match, thank you for sharing!

As an outsider of CA I am jealous of all your kilt nights n Cali!!!

Great photos, but they look like they were taken after the first or second dram, just a wee bit shaky.

[Alan H]

I notice that the bottles are empty!!! LOL

A few more photos of the evening.

On the way, we passed a window display with several of the numerous Mr. Peanut heads used over the years in the San Francisco musical revue Beach Blanket Babylon. (http://www.beachblanketbabylon.com) Besides Mr. Peanut, the show is famous for outrageously large and ornate hats. Here's a link to more about the display: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/...entry_id=39968





Arriving at the shop. Tartan stuff in the front; lots of whisky in the back.



Our hosts from the Whisky Shop




This tasting was different from others as, besides whisky, sample materials were placed on each table: a small piece of cask wood and a slice of peat. Jake and flammable objects is not always a good idea.




Demolay1310 & daughter. Robert looked sharp in his jacket and waistcoat.



Monkey@Arms with the evening's presenter, Steve Beale. Jake is holding his glass above eye level - a special "Toast to the English" Steve told us about.



Finished up the evening with a stroll down the street to Eddie Rickenbacker's. Overall, a fine evening with friends.

Calling the Mod Moving Service! I thinks this thread was meant to be posted in the "Show Us Your Pics" area (must be the residual cigar and whisky fumes.)

As to the photo of me trying to smoke the peat, I was just trying to cut out the middleman in my enjoyment of the Islay whisky experience.

Best regards,

Jake

Thread enjoyed and moved (to suit his Monkey-ness)

Looks like a swell evening folks

Me too, especially since I moved away from Nor Cal two months before my first kilted experience. I could have been at those events!
