Alright, guys. The Haggis meal at Thos. O'Reilly's was good. They played pipe music when the haggis was done and the plates came out. I don't know if anyone but me had it, honestly.

I spoke with...

So they are actually preparing a traditional Burns Night meal here. There will be neeps and tatties and haggis. I think if we coordinate we might could do a proper Burns night here at Thomas...

But if anyone's interested there's this. I am very likely to drive down and have dinner, a pint, and a wee dram.

EDIT: I'm definitely...

I reckon that's a bust. Maybe we get an earlier start next year we can work something out.

How about Mac Mcgee in the Battery at Smyrna on Saturday the 27th at 6PM. If we can get a headcount by the 22nd I'll make a reservation. I'm asking for a count that far in advance because if there's...

Coordinating an official Burns Night is a big task and I don't know if any of the Atlanta area regulars have the time or desire to take it on. That said, we could easily have a less formal gathering...

Becky - sorry for the late reply and sorry we missed you guys at the game Saturday. Maybe next year we'll be a bit more organized about it. I think next year I'll bring my hiking shoes and walk to...

No worries. Michael and I had a good time catching up. And I did have to suffer a little admiration while waiting for him.

Also no one else saying they'll be there. I am most flexible on time so I'd rely on folks coming in from out of town to say when they'd be there. But if there's no further reply I'll be there around...

Iron Horse in Duluth Friday night? Kilts or nae?

Alright, lasses and lads - are we an Aye for Iron Horse Tavern in Duluth for Friday night?

Also, meeting up at the Tartans Museum tent between 1ish and 2ish on Saturday?

Iron Horse Tavern in historic downtown Norcross looks good for Friday night.

I plan to be there Saturday and I'm up for meeting Friday night. Maybe we can find an alternative to Celtic Tavern that is nearer where you might be staying, and nearer for us natives (Conyers is...

i'm going to continue keeping a low social profile for now, as much as I miss Burns Night and y'all.

I'm out of town from 6/18 to 7/4, but don't let that stop you guys.

Definitely.

Yep, I realize there are challenges, especially around finding someone willing and able to source the right haggis and to prepare it well and properly. Jim likely knows how to get the haggis and...

That matches my recollection. I think the Tavern is out going forward.

I'm not feeling comfortable being in a pub or restaurant right now, so I might have to abide until 2022.

If the folks who...

I trust all of you guys ... but not most of the rest of Georgia. I don't feel comfortable with a crowded pub just yet. Perhaps we schedule a video call for anyone interested, chat for an hour or so...

Awesome photos! I can now reassure Mrs. Jones that I wasn't at the Clermont.

This jacket and vest are in perfect condition, and have only been worn a few times (and none of those times involved drunkenness or debauchery ). Selling simply because I don't get a lot of use out...

I did the toast (poorly and too quietly) last time around. I'll be happy to do the Selkirk Grace and Closing Remarks, and fill the role of prompting the other speakers to come up. So, to summarize...

Just to be clear where we are, The formal parts that we need folks to take on:



Welcome & Selkirk Grace
Address to the Haggis - Tripleblessed?
The Immortal Memory
A Toast to the Lassies...

Past suppers began at 6 PM. With the Rabble straggling in starting at 5 PM
