    Minnesota Tartan Day

    I have a question for the Minnesota contingent of X markers.
    Are any of you planning to be at the Tartan Day events in St. Paul on March 31, 2007? If so, is anyone interested in meeting up for a pint or two ?

    Why hold it the week before? Seems strange to celebrate the day...on a different day.

    Because April 6, the actual Tartan Day, is Good Friday, and that weekend is Easter.

    I have/had successfully missed these festivities. Bad timing all the way around.
