Christmas - MD/VA/PA/WA

**kilted_brewer** · 9th October 07, 08:31 AM

I might be up for something like that, especially if it weren't on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day itself, (though I don't get too dressy, and my "best" is my current favorite, my blue hemp R-kilt). If I made it, it'd be my first kilt night in over a year of full-time kilting

As for places, I've had several people recommend the Royal Mile Pub in Silver Spring/Wheaton, MD. I've never been, but like I said, several (even one I trust on these matters) have said it's a good place. I'm more of a beer man, myself (see my forum name as to why), but here's their whiskey list. We might want to check their event calendar closer to whatever date you choose for the Kilt Night.

I'll watch this thread for developing details, but whoever drafts himself (not it!) for organizing, feel free to, um, rope me in if it looks like you need someone who could make an exploratory visit or introductory call to the establishment (no, that's not organizing

)

I would look for something early in the month.

I have a feeling that the 8th might work best for most? I stopped by O'Malleys in Gaithersburg at lunch and all it is is a small hotel bar.

This thread has been viewed 119 times but we have only about 6 people expressing interest. We have to know how many are interested, not committed, just interested so we can get an idea where and how large.

the 8th would work for me and I would attend. Looking forward to Oct 27th so far and another kilt night in Dec sounds outstanding!

Well I"m interested but can't commit to it right now. December is usually horrid for us. Several Christmas parties that we are obligated to as well as a pre-Christmas Christmas dinner with my family and then off to Canada for Christmas itself w/ my inlaws. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Thats why you should suffer a sever case of CRS and come to mass kilt night.

Alexandria, VA here. I'm interested.

I've used the Royal Mile as a regional gathering spot for other groups before. It's reasonably accessible from NoVA and from Maryland (even folks from Baltimore seem to be able to find it), it's Metro accessible, and it's a Scottish pub. Lots of tartan in the decor. Even has live music some nights.

Royal Mile Pub, December 8th is on my calendar!

Canceled because of general lack of interest - this will be covered by the December MD/VA/PA/WV kilt night.

bummer! I was looking forward to a closer-in location to DC than Frederick. Hope you all had fun last night, though. Keep us posted on the December MD/VA/PA/WV KN.
