    @Wil @Creag do you guys think meeting in town in the afternoon (2ish? 3ish?) is doable?

    I'm not sure what parking around that Limerick Junction would be like, but that might be a fun place in the early afternoon, hopefully before the main crowds turn out. Or there is always "The Pub at the Perimeter", or Mac McGees, or Meehan's, or any number of other places. I'm open to requests!

    Well, it looks like I may be marching with you for the Stone Mountain Games, @tripleblessed ! Our regent and her family had to back out for a family emergency, leaving only my wife and I to represent Clan Buchanan. I am not sure if she was in contact with your people or not, but her suggestion is to march with your group.

    Well, we got a little rain, but not for long. The two and a half blocks of forming up and a block or so of the parade route, and the
    sun came out. Wareyin and his lady wife walked with us, the Stone Mountain Games grounds volunteers, as we gave out beads
    and Games fliers. Maybe a mile and a half, ran out of beads before the end. The pipe band ahead of us asked if we knew where
    their meet-up pub was, a Scottish name, so we decided to try it. They were w/o power, transformer lost to an accident, so we
    walked on to the pub where the grounds crew were, good visits, food, and potables. With a three mile stroll there and back to the
    cars. Nice day.

    The only pictures my wife took were of the entire Stone Mountain Volunteer group, and you can't even see tripleblessed's face! But the parade was great fun. The restaurant after could have had much better service, but the food was good.

    Sounds like a grand time. Next year I'm helping out in the parade. @tripleblessed - hook me up with volunteering to market the games next year. I'm also going to try and have a MacPhail kilt by then.

    OK. Parade next St. Patrick's. Now, Games. October this year is next Games. Or did you mean Games of 2019? If you want to get in on
    this year's volunteering, April 7th is the kickoff get-together for BBQ, hotdogs, desserts, and a variety of interesting liquids with which
    to wash it all down. And meet the folk that make it happen.
