Hey, I resemble that remark. ;)

I just found out today that I'll be able to make it into The City in time for the parade, but I'll be sure to let out a proud "CRAIG DUBH!" as you pass by...

Speaking with my buddy who's heading in with me for the Parade and Tattoo, he pointed out that it'll be in the 50's if we're lucky during the afternoon, but by the time we're trying to find our way...

Thanks for your input. I was planning on wearing either my wool 5 yard casual kilt from Burnetts & Struth or my PV semi-trad from USA Kilts along with a tattersall shirt. I don't have a proper kilt...

I'll be attending the NYC Tattoo this weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any idea what level of dress would be appropriate.
Cheers!

Now THAT'S a kilt night I'd be able to make it to. It'd be great to have some place nearby with some traditional live music as well.

Hope the event thus weekend goes well. I had a great time when...

I'll do my best to be there by 10:30. It'll be my second time at these Games and my first XMarks meet-up.

Wow. I don't I've ever seen that tartan fully done up as a kilt before. As others have said, both the kilt and the tartan look superb. Enjoy!

Today I'm wearing a bowtie as well as a charcoal grey waistcoat and matching jacket...and I'm afraid the dark colors, white shirt and black and orange striped tie makes me look a bit like a magician....

One of my most recent bowties comes from The Tie Bar and I believe it cost me just about $15.

The gentlemen on the faculty at the school at which I teach have a wee tradition of "Bowtie Fridays." I've just joined in (having started up my personal "Waistcoat Wednesdays" last year) and I have...

In a fit of foolishness (ie we had been at the pub next to the package store for too many rounds) I bought a bottle of BrewDog's Tactical Nuclear Penguin. I've blocked out how much I spent on it. I...

Thanks for the OxyClean tip. I've got quite the stockpile of label-free 12oz bottles, but I'm trying acquire more and more 22oz bombers. I haven't had the ability to move over to kegging yet, but...

I've never seen or tried that brew before, but a local brewery has put their imperial smoked porter in red wine, apple brandy and rum barrels and sold a 3-pack of the varieties under the name "Smoke...

wow. do you make labels for all of your brews? the most i do is scrawl something in sharpie on the cap. it makes going to through the beer closet a bit of an adventure at times. i just cracked...

and don't forget "Scotland's Funny Bits" from BBC Scotland!

I actually stopped listening to NPR's "Wait, Wait..." from here in the States. The questions were so pathetically simple...and the...

I was disappointed I missed the games there this year. You had a great weekend for them! I hope to be back again next year. Did they have the sheepherding demo this year? And any sign of a beer...

Wow! I can't wait until I have a chance to get over and visit again myself. Looking forward to more updates.

There's a possibility that I'll be there. I went for the first time last year and had the honor to march in with my clan. Nice pipe competition, heavy games and even a sheepherding demo. No beer...

email sent...looking forward to placing an order again soon!

*** Looking forward to the new logo and a new order...

I"m glad to be in town this weekend. I'll stop by to say hello!

Heh. Hardly our natural habitat. Looks a bit dry, brown and elevated for my liking. :wink:

But Ron, you're looking good in the tartan! Creag Dubh!

Very cool to see the Philmont belt. My old man still talks about his time there.

looking good! as a craft beer geek and homebrewer i have to ask, what brewery do you work for?

The real question is, did Jamie have that pic handy already or did he leap into action (and/or costume, I mean, wardrobe) just for the photo-op?
