yesh ...it WAS a good time! Vinnie and myself ended up visiting a few other pubs that night ...endedl up walking away with free drinks ,and about $100 at the end of the night!
as far as the Balmoral goes......its a "home made" one ...the Dicing should be bigger but ...work with what you have I guess!
it IS wool though ..I just soaked it in cold water, wrang(sp) it out and put it on till dry. I like having it hang on the right side basicly touching my right ear. I think it looks better all flopped over like that! on a "real" balmoral, the wool is alot thicker so it takes a little more to get it "floppy" but the end result is about the same,
interesting side note, I was told not long ago that the glenn is actually a bastardized Balmoral! they used to fold the balmoral in a way that it looked like the present day Glenn! I donno how much truth is in that, but it sounds plauseable

Went on Monday night - the food was good, the service less so. Hoping it was the opening night curse that did 'em in.
The waitress we ended up w/ was pleasant and competent enough, but the first one we encountered couldn't have been more snippy if she'd taken lessons. (She may well have).
I will say that the shepherd's pie and curry chips are tasty enough. The first pint o' Guinness I got tasted like a tall glass of bleach. When will bar-folk learn that there aren't enough hops in Guinness to cover up the sanitizer/rinse solution taste? Was replaced with a much better attempt at a pint forthwith.
I'll be assisting with the celebrating of Hotel Congress' 21st birthday this weekend... maybe a kilt night later in the month?
