Anyone else going to Burns parties?

I'm going to a Burns party on Sunday. A Canadian friend of mine and his wife throw a Burns party every year where we drink scotch, eat haggis (I don't actually eat any) and recite poetry. I know, reciting poetry sounds a bit dull but not with this crowd. After a few rounds of scotch, the poetry gets a bit rowdy and downright vulgar!! Ah... that's the spirit.

Quite a few kilted guests each year but this will be my first year there wearing a kilt. It took me a while to catch the bug.

Anyhow, wondering who else has kilted festivities this wekend.

Our Scottish Society's Burns Night was on Saturday the 14th; I have two more to attend this year, both "stag" suppers which focus on the more "bawdy" side of Burns and his "Merry Muses of Caledonia".

Do your friends really call it a "Burns Party?"

Cheers,
