Hi everyone,

The Blind Pig in Athol, MA (https://www.facebook.com/BlindPig.Athol, right downtown at 98 Exchange street) has been having a kilt night every Tuesday for the last month or so, and it seems to have gained some traction! There's been a bit of renewed interest in the town's Scottish roots this year between its 250th anniversary and the two-week visit by his Grace the Duke of Atholl and the Highlanders earlier this year. I went a couple of weeks ago and there were a couple of younger guys sporting kilts, and heard reports of more earlier that evening.

It's just far enough away from me to prevent me from going *every* week, but I hope to make it at least once a month or so. If you've never been, they have good food and a great selection of local craft beer.

Maybe the 16th?

I'll have to play next week by ear, as it's going to be a busy one for me. There's a chance I'll be there with my better half tonight.
