    I grow weary of the renfaire types turning the Games into a costume party. They have their own "faires". Why do they think a Scottish gathering is a place to dress up in costumes, instead of traditional Scottish wear? When did jousting and sword fighting become a part of the Scottish (and or Celtic) gatherings?
    But the thing that turned me off of the Bakersfield CA Games completely, is the appearance of the White Power, White Supremacist types who have decided to make the annual Scottish Gathering their annual Summer meeting place, removing their shirts and displaying their White Power neo-Nazi tatoos. There's a time and place for everything and everyone, I suppose, but leave our Gatherings as they used to be.

    Oh yeah? Someone ought to supply the local S.H.A.R.Ps, anarchos and Brown Beret chapters with kilts and tickets...
