Consider them one and the same. It will be right behind the field where they have the opening ceremony, massed bands. etc. You can't miss it. Just look for a bunch of people in kilts.

That's like finding my wife (Taiwanese) at H-Mart. Just look for the petite lady with black hair.

I thought I was going to miss the games this year, and therefor did not purchase tickets and parking pass in advance. Alas, my plans changed. Well, not 'alas'. It's a good thing! I'll be at the games and will see you guys around. If nowhere else, at the Tartans Museum tent at 1pm.

I always have a hard time uploading photos to this site from my phone so I'll have to add the photo of the group meetup from my PC. I promise I will get it done, though.

Missed meeting you folks as I arrived late; picked up my wife's boy at the airport a bit after 11 then stopped at the vortex for lunch before heading over. Blairsville is touted as the largest gathering in the south, but I believe Stone Mountain was noticeably more well attended. Had a grand time. Taking the Coca Cola plant tour tomorrow so will probably miss seeing you this time, but will he back next year.

Did join clan campbell NA while I was there today, sobthat completes a bit of unfinished business.

Cheers all

Finally, as promised, a couple of my pictures from the weekend.
Here's me and hubby, excited before heading out to the Celtic Tavern:

And here we are with a very dashing group of kilted gentlemen! Mattie and Jim (TheScot) didn't make it. Left to right: Wareyin, TripleBlessed, RebelRouser, Creag, my husband Will, any myself.

Yeah, weird; almost never happens, but time was more important than what I was wearing. In my defense, I
had planned on volunteering for the games, which covers your entrance and your park pass. Had to spend
the week looking for a replacement car, so didn't get to do that. Dashed out early to take care of pass/ticket
before the lines got long, then back to house to get Mary Helen out the door for a wedding.

Very weird to be the guy in Levi's with so many kilts, usually the opposite.
