Woodland CA Highland Games April 28-29

[way2fractious]

I'm in for Saturday, and likely Sunday, as well. But there are only two weeks left to plan my outfits!?

Let's see... one camo kilt for traveling and wearing in the hot sun on Saturday while cheering on the combatants (...er, competitors...), another in wool for a festive outing Saturday night, a third for sleeping in, a fresh fourth tartan for a cool Sunday morning, then back to the ever-useful traveling camo. OK, that's four... oh, maybe get by with three... unless I sleep in the camo kilt (...been done before)...

Then the decisions on daywear and eveningwear sporrans and belts, shoes and hose vs. sandals (no place for sgian dubh), a jacket(?), sun-blocking headwear, and on and on, oh my! (These are such extreme exercises in coordination!)

And musn't forget the lawn chairs and ice chest for the spectators' area by the athletic field.

GO FOR IT Tim, Bill, and Alan! See you there.

w2f,

Is the camo kilt easily washable? Remember we will likely be facing a lot of blood as we are dealing with the injuries sustained by the Nor Cal crew as they compete in the Heavy Athletics. The F-H.C.A.G. will bring the Defibulator, I've got a stretcher and bandages, how are you coming with with the oxygen mask?

We still need to work on our fan signs. I'm thinking on one side it should read:

"GO NOR CAL KILTED CREW!"

and on the other

"DON'T DIE!"

Cheers

Jamie

(I am so dead next kilt night... )

All well and good....but who's bringing the beer, man? The Beer???

The F-H.C.A.G. and I will be driving up to Woodland early Saturday morning
(after all it is Kilt/Beer Friday the day before and the Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess needs to dance).

The Athletics start at 9:00

Tim and Alan, do you know when you will be competing? Also what events?

I thought the competition area would be a good place to meet.

Cheers

Is that what the St. Bernards carry in those little casks around their necks? If so, then our triage plans are complete; if not, we still have time to restock.

[Salute] Yes, sir! This is genuine USMC MARPAT (desert digital camo), sir! Designed specifically for combat uses, and used to getting dirty, sweaty, bloody, or whatever, sir! [/salute]

[Definitely NOT at ease] Uh... oxygen? Is that the little red cylinder with the "A-B-C" rating and spray nozzle? or the one that says "Highly Flammable"? or the one stamped "NOX"? [Even more uneasy...] Wouldn't it be better if we just let nature take it's course? (with videocams and cameras at hand, of course.)
