Stone Mtn

Well, it has all come and gone too fast, enjoyed meeting some of the guys from this forum, Turpin, The Scott, Shriner, and others, sorry I missed the group photo, but this was definitely the best time I've had at the Highland Games, ( and my first time at Stone Mountain kilted.) Great weather, great fun, enjoyed my time at the MacLaren tent, so great to meet some fellow X-markers. Just a perfect day! Thank you all, can't wait to do a kilt night at Paddy's at Chateau Elan or the Burns supper in January in Conyers. To quote the McDonald's ad:...."I'm Lovin' It."
Thanks again,
David

I will second all of the above.

This was the best time at Stone Mountain I've ever had, and I've been going for 10-12 years. Next year I'll plan better and make the Sponsor's Reception again.

I met some of the finest guys around--some X-Markers--and even had dinner with a few. These guys are great: Turpin, SouthernScot, Shriner, Parthian MacGregor, Cawdorian, LiltedSawyer, and CavScout (who brought three of the nicest children one could ever meet). Ms. Parthian was quite charming as well, and it was worth the trip just to meet these fine folks, some of whom I'd not met previously.

I look forward to our next gathering, as we are already discussing a St. Andrews dinner quite soon.

It was great to meet the "out-of-state" contingent. Wish I could have joined the lads for dinner but it was great to meet each of you.

OK, OK

God bless me, I just got back to Florida. I left Atlanta this morning and eight hours later I am home. I tried to post the pics from the hotel but the speed was not there. So will post pics soon.

But this weekend was great, meeting the Xmark guy was like meeting old friends. I felt I had known these guys for years. We had fun at the Games and had something from Turpin sporran it was smokey and alittle salty, maybe he will remind me what it was....(you won't believe what he can fit in that thing)

The Dinner was a whole difference story and I will let one of the others tell you about it because I was sworn to silence..


Here's a tease, the meeting point..

It's good to put faces to names. thescot, I'd never've recognised you on the street, looking good though. Shriner love the tartan, Turpin, mkfarkus was right, you really do look like your sporran . Cavscout you look much younger than your avatar.
