I went a bit different and wore my green camo UK. Got a few fun comments. Spent most of my time split between listening to The American Wake and helping the guys at the UK booth. Oh, and trying to keep warm.

Regarding the band... thought they were great. Mentioned that they play fairly regularly at... Gallagher's (?) in Huntington Beach. I don't really do bars, but wouldn't mind getting down there for an evening.

Yeah, I see them on a regular basis there - they rock the place!

Hey Zz, Cameron, which guys were you?

I stopped by the UK booth several times on Sat and Sun to talk to Scott and Wolf.

Saturday I was wearing my SWK Nightstalker (and usually a grey sweatshirt and booney hat)
Sunday I was in my Choc Workmans, with the green SAAA shirt for the LA Irish Fair and a brown sweater underneath it.

Anyone happen to run into The O'Brien, Lord Inchiquin? (one of my Chiefs).

I was wearing a green camo UK, dark green shirt, and light grey coat. Was only there Sunday. I do remember seeing someone hanging out in the area around the UK booth in a choc workman's, looked well worn. I only hung out at the booth for about an hour at a time.

You have a red goatee right? I remember you, you had to leave shortly after I got there. I wish I knew it was you then.

Well met, and nice to meet you. I'm sure we'll run into each other at another one of these shows. You had a good look going with your kilt too, keep it up.

I had a bright green Irish National, a black Ravens t-shirt and a black splint around my right hand (still do in fact).
I was around the stage in front of UK for Maria Butterly's 4pm-ish set (glad she forgot I owe her a dance) and she was playing with Patric from Skelpin (the long red-haired barefoot fiddler).

CT - around and about

My wife and I were there but mainly to walk around and see the sights and admire the crafts. I was the ONLY one wearing a Deerstalker hat at the entire fair, I almost pulled a muscle patting myself on the back...LOL!
