X MARKS CON II The Events

[Mr. Kilt]

I have been wondering what this is all about! Yes, if it IS a Las Vegas get-together next year, maybe, just maybe I could make that my 2007 overseas trip!

The prospect of spending a few days in brash, commercialised, Las Vegas is not really my cup of tea - nor have I ever knowingly set foot on a golf course (I lie! I have walked on the course at St.Andrews!) - but such an opportunity of meeting up with a phallanx of fellow X Markers on that side of the pond, might be too valuable to miss.

Sorry, I have obviously missed out on a lot here. Do we have dates confirmed?

Ham...it would be wonderful if you were able to come over for an event like this. I'm still sad that I missed you during the Vancouver get-together.

As for Vegas, yes it's very brash, but even for people who don't gamble the city and casinos can be fantastic places to visit. The noise and excitement is incredible, and the various hotels are incredible to tour. Also, there are tons of little museums and shops to wander about. There's considerably more to Vegas than one might think.

Golf? Hmmmmm...I've only played once, about 30 years ago when I was 12 or 13. As I recall I didn't call it "golf" after we finished. I think the name changed to "Whack-****".
It's would be great to see a rabble of kilties on a course, but I doubt that I'd be one of them.

I'm hoping if this event happens that it will fall sometime around the middle of April next year. Not too hot, and I should be able to get time off work for the trip.
