Ditto - may have to bus it to the event as my NYC crew isnt too keen on making the journey -

Do you think its safe to try in hitchhike alongthe side of route 95 kilted to get there on the cheap???

KIDDING!!!!!

We'll be going Sunday...

And I'll send you a PM, dear- we should be able to give you a lift.

Looks like I'll be missing everyone, as I'm heading up on Saturday. Not sure what kilt I'll be wearing yet. Was gonna wear the UK Cord, but the wife wants to wear it. I'll have the X-Marks pin somewhere if anyone is heading over on Saturday.

Rocky, I'll be sure to stop by the booth and get properly measured. Thanks!

Might wanna be careful with that X-marks pin, Taper... 646guy is pretty hungry for one & might make it well worth my while to head over saturday and 'borrow' it from you ....

KIDDING!!!!!

We can't make it up this year.
But we are already looking at attending next year.
If you get a chance to see Greenwich Meantime take advantage of it.
I have their 1st cd and its great.
You single guys will not mind watching their Fiddle player, Shelly.
She is a hoot and easy on the eyes.

Didn't see any other X-Markers, but did stop by to say hi and get measured by Rocky (Thanks!)...

Having never been before I had no idea what to expect. A little dissapointed in the number of vendors, and no bagpipe paraphernalia. But the wife and I had a good time on Saturday!

i am hanging my head in shame as i write this but...

i didnt make it after all. missed my transportation connections so woudl have gotten there too late to explore the event to its fullest so ended up doing a lazy day in the neighborhood - unkilted & uncomfortable in jeans all day

.

hope to meet up with those i missed somewhere along the way at the NY Tartan Week Festivities

Apologies to one & all

I was there for most of the afternoon Sunday. I stopped and introduced myself to Rocky and Kelly, but I didn't notice any other Xmarks members (not that you weren't there, I just didn't see you

). Rocky showed me his products, so now I know first hand what they're like and I had never felt the PV material before, so I'm a little better informed.

I enjoyed the music, a good combination of traditional and modern. I did like Greenwich Meantime and will have to look into their music further.
