Calling SoCal Kilties!

How'd things go last night? Sorry I couldn't be there; I was studying for a math test I'm taking today.

Any plans for tonight?

It turned out to just be mkmound and myself, but it was a pretty cool time.

I picked him up at his hotel around 6:45 and we went down to the pub. We didnt have a real solid idea on how many might attend, but we sat down, ordered a beverage and some food and talked for a bit.

Mr. Mound is a real nice gentleman, and his USA Semi-Trad was very nice looking. (first I have seen in person to my knowledge)

I was pretty uneventful, just a small dinner, drinks, and some conversation. We did get a picture and hopefully technical details allowing, he can post it.

Indeed, I'm a bad kiltie too. I made the critical mistake of sitting down for a minute after work, awakening at 5 minutes to 7. Another long week of finish grading awaits, two days the following week then it's off on Jetblue to JFK and my connecting flight the Shannon (10 days in Ireland !!!!)

Coolest news of the week : Steve has sent my dress model FK X Marks kilt, soon as Canada Post kicks it around a while I may get it just before my trip.
You Rock Steve !

CT - and he does.

Sorry I misssed you guys Josh. I came down with a severe case of Diverticulitis and was not much up for going out (or walking for that matter).

Josh,

Quite belated, but very sincere thanks for your hospitality!!

I enjoyed getting to know you! Once I figure out how to transfer the pictures from my daughter's camera to the computer, I'll post.

We missed the rest of you! Deolain, very sorry to hear about your illness -- hope you're feeling better now. Hope tests and grading are now caught up for Iolaus and CT. I'm sure I'll be back in SoCal on another trip in the future, so I hope I'll be able to meet the rest then.
