The F-H.C.A.G. and I are really excited about the trip and the chance to meet so many X Markers!

Cheers

Jamie

I hope to be able to make the gathering, but it is getting to be that busy time of year around my office. Not to mention, my kilt still has not come in yet. So, that will likely put the kibosh on attending.

I think I just got a little bit of a late start with this rabble and probably should have purchased the kilt before an event like this got planned. I'll be ready for the next one though.

If anyone needs directions or has questions about the area, please don't hesitate to call.
The Wizard of BC has my number.

Gibbs, hate to see you beg off just for lack of a kilt! If it's work keeping you away, I can relate to that -- but I'll defend your right to join the party however you are clothed.

Better yet, if you're a common size, how about one of us coming up with a kilt he can borrow? Got a 40 waist / 21 length light grey FlamingoKilt available. . . if that doesn't work, maybe somebody else can chime in until we get it right?

Hey Gibbs, this thing is not all about owning Kilts. It's about having a chance to meet some of your Clan Members. To put a face to a screen name.
To meet and talk to other who share an interest in this thing we call the Kilt.

We understand that you don't have a Kilt yet and don't think that should stand in the way.

I don't care if you wear Burmuda Shorts, Black ankle socks with sandals, and a beenie cap.

Join us when you can. Friday night around the pool with a drink, Sat. during the day, or for dinner Sat. night with Hamish.

Wow...just saw THIS thread. Count me in, still. I'll be coming up Saturday afternoon.

**Regnifne** · 29th March 09, 11:05 AM

Sydnie, thanks! Yep, I plan on being there, with a lovely young lady in tow . . . Even got her to break out the tartan mini skirt!

**Regnifne** · 30th March 09, 07:11 PM

By the way, any pointers from the seasoned rabble about riding in a car for an hour or so in a SWK standard without completely trashing the pleats? And yes, the thought has crossed my mind on driving in just a shirt and hose . . .

**Gibbs** · 31st March 09, 12:03 AM

OK, count me in!!!! Looking forward to tossin' back a pint or three.

int: I don't think I can make it Friday night, gotta work till about midnight.

So, what is the schedule for Saturday? My kids have baseball games in the a.m., but I should be free to meet with the rabble after about 1:00 p.m. til . . . . .

Regnifne, Just because you own a Kilt and are going to a Kilt Night does not mean that you can't take the Kilt off for an hour or so to save it from wrinkles.

If you have a pair of sweat pants get dressed as you would normaly do with the Kilt. Then just before getting into the car slip the sweats on under the Kilt and take the Kilt off.
Then when you arrive you can put the Kilt on over the sweats and slide the sweats off.

For everyone else the Kilt Night at Lyons will start some time around 6:00pm.

Please look through the first posts of this thread to find all the details, address and everything else.

I have been collecting the cell phone no.s of many of those who will attend and offer my cell no. as a way to allow everyone to stay in contact.

When you arrive in Palm Springs give me a call. 1-250-889-0289.
