Okay, here goes...

Would there be some interest in getting together for a kilt night on Tartan Day in Washington, DC? It could be a gathering point for DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia (and possibly further afield, it's up to those kilties to make the call for themselves), and as it's Tartan Day in the seat of the government who proclaimed it thus in Congress Assembled, it seems appropriate.

Please keep in mind: I've never attended a kilt night, I've never organized a kilt night, if there's someone who has in the DC-area, let's discuss here. My (possibly naive) impression of a kilt night is people get invited, a location is determined, a night is set, and people show up in kilts. What am I missing?

Possible gathering points include: the Flying Scotsman, or the Brickskeller or RFD (yes, it's all about the beer for me), and others I know not of: suggestions welcome.

Show me your interest, and I may see you on Friday night, April 6, at a location to be determined!

About the Flying Scotsman: I've never been, but it's apparently one of Capitol Hill's best-kept secrets, and it's just a few blocks away from Union Station, so travelling by Metro should be easy (and advisable after a wee dram or two). I've sent them an e-mail to investigate, and may stop by sometime soon to see what it's like. If you know of it, reply to this thread to let us all in on it. I used to live on Capitol Hill, and passed Flying Scotsman's location often, but moved out of the city (and consequently changed my commute) before its current incarnation in 2003.
