@Thomas H: YES! All the rabble are invited to meet up at the Lamont tent at 1:00 following the close of the ceremonies which usually go off at noon. That'll let the pipers and drummers get their duties attended to and still make it for a meet up, cattle reivin', whiskey tastin', lie- tellin', tartan wearin'n, kilt comparin', photo takin' good time. You can put real faces with aliases and shake some very fine hands.

You are also cordially invited to the Tavern session on Friday evening in Conyers. (Not far from Stone Mountain.) We've met there before, and it'll be a very casual event. And, the place is extremely family-friendly, so you can being kids if you like.

I know that fargor and Turpin will be there, and I think Ben (Atlanta Kiltie), and Southern Scot with his crew (4-5 kids), and several others, so this will be a fine gathering in preparation for the games. I'm hopin' Tyger and a few others I've not met will make it over on Friday as well. It's much less rushed than meeting at the games on Saturday, and we really get a great chance to chat.
