    Oh yeah - One More Thing...

    Perhaps you recognized a familiar face or two in the crowd. Yes, our very own Wizard - Steve Ashton from Freedom Kilts braved customs to make the trip. Next our very own Kiltman from Spokane was there - heck he practically runs the thing! So you know what that means - right?


    Three XMarkers = a Rabble!








    And when the rabble show up - can a Hamish Mark II be far behind???


    You know it...




    Cheers!

    Wonderful photos Phil!

    I'm not sure if Hamish will give full marks for technical merit on this...

    Well, Jamie, I'll give 4½ out of 5 for the below-the-waist 'choreography', but: dear oh, dear, the above-the-waist positioning (especially the arms!) needs a lot of work! I can see that I might need to come over there pretty soon to give those fellows some one-to-one tuition.

    In case anyone is wondering what the Hamish Mark II pose really should look like, here it is:



    Superb photos from you there Phil, as always. Thank you for sharing them.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Hamish,
    I think you ought to do a West Coast USA tour. You could teach all of California, Oregon, Washington and BC how to properly execute the Hamish Mark II pose. Next year, maybe?
