Hey Folks!
Enter the Haggis is coming to Skipper's Smokehouse on Friday, May 8. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, here is a brief blurb from Skipper's whebsite.
FRIDAY MAY 8
Enter The Haggis Since its conception in 1996, Enter the Haggis (ETH) has built an international touring and recording career based on its unique approach to Celtic-based music and high-energy performances. Catchy bluegrass-fusion as well as driving Celtic-rock instrumentals that showcase the group's arranging and performance talent keep the audience reeling (pun intentional.) www.enterthehaggis.com
w/The Beauvilles
8PM $12/15
I will definitely be there. Anyone else up for this?
Sounds right up my alley! Been missin' a bit of bluegrass since I left CO.
Where is Skippers?
In Tampa, on Skipper Rd and North Nebraska Ave.
Please allow myself to make an appointment with yourselves!
Oh, yeah!! Saw them last year..they were great!! I see a McCrack gatherin' in th' wurks...
I'll be there! :D
Wear your kilt, Jimmie!
Leinad and I think it sounds like fun. We'll be coming in straight from a lawyer's office and ready for some fun. We'll call someone if we're running late; if it looks like they're going to sell out, let us know.
Outstanding idea. Count me in.
If I am reading this right, tickets are general admission and the capacity is 800.
Seamus, sounds like an excellent Mcrack idea especially since they profess to have Guiness. And they have Shiner, so I am golden.
Sounds like an excellent night of entertainment. I'd say count us in!
Sounds like fun! Karen's otherwise occupied that evening, but I think I'm game....BTW, we don't get to Skipper's enough to know...what's the diff between $12 and $15??
I'd love to catch them. Have to see what I can work out though. I have family visiting that week.
If we were not leaving to go home on Sunday we would stay to catch this.... but we have a show on the 25th in MI.....hhmmmm dang it all

You know I hate math but my guess would be....three dollars?

Talk him into it!!!
Caroline.....I'm probably joining you for dinner...will send you PM on subject
Last minute family obligations may cause me to miss this. ???
Hope I can work it out.
If not, have a blast!
Squire Mickey, we hope you can join us but if not I am sure we can be convinced to have a beverage on your behalf.
I think TreeMan may be there as well. It is likely I will arrive in the 6 to 6:30 range as well.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We'd love to go but the Relay for Life my MIL helps out at is this weekend and FIL is out of town...so no sitter.
And, as much as I lvoe to bring the baby out in his "Who's your Paddy?" onesie, that's past his bedtime! Much less bad for his little ears! :-(
Yay! The hubby (David) and I have purchased our tickets. We will probably be there between 7:30-7:45 because I have to wait til he gets home from work. We don't want to drive separate cars. I can't wait to see everyone again!
*(&$%@(*$&@!!
Been up since 3am with a stomach virus...had to cancel a teaching gig for today...I'm going to miss the fun tonight after all.
Toss back a couple for me....I'll miss you all
:-\
Leinad and I will be there and we plan to have supper. Timing will just depend on traffic and how long our 4pm appt with the lawyer takes. See everyone that makes it there, then we'll lift a glass in honor of the rest!

Sounds like you've got the one that laid me low tarting LAST Friday and I'm STILL getting over it now! :-p
BRAT diet and a decent flavor of Powerade baby! (I don't recommend the red just for the "revisit taste" ick!)
Get well soon!

What is this "tarting"? Sounds like it needs to be avoided. ;)

I'm workin' on it.....feeling a little better, thanks.....but not great. Better NOT last a week... ;)
And a great time was had by all! Fun evening in a great venue with a great band and awesome people. Thank you everyone.
I must concur with Hector....what a great band and time it was. A special thanks to Madge for bringing the wonderful band to my attention. Only sorry we caught the second half of their show!
Woohoo!!! Had a WONDERFULtime. Eating oysters, drinking beer, :) laughing, drinking a little more beer, :D dancing, drinking even more beer, ;D posing for photos (gad, you people have a lot of cameras!)... and did I say drinking beer? :o Good food, rockin' music and great company! Thanks to all who showed up to make such a great evening. And especial thanks to Leinad for being DD... you guys didn't think I'd drive, did you? ;)

Who us .... never ... * looks over his shoulder *
And Thank You
Thank you all!
Saw the pictures from some of you all from the show on Friday. Man, I am BUMMED that I missed it. By the time I had gotten me family commitments addressed it was 9:45, and would have been almost 10:30 by the time I could have gotten there. Figured they would probably have been just about finished.
Hated to miss ye all though...
Aye, dog, ye missed one helluva good time! The band was great, the venue was awesome, and the company was the best!! It was great to see friends new and old, and see the Haggis again live.
Note to self: Avoid ...."Swamp Juice...." :-\
Oh Come'on. The Swamp Juice wasn't all that bad. ;) I had a great time out the other night. It was great meeting you all, although I'll admit it was a bit different seeing everyone outside of the element I was accustomed too. I enjoyed it immensely. ;D
Seamus -
There's a reason they call it Swamp Juice...
Apparently 'Swamp Juice' leads to 'Bog Head'...... ;)
Actually, I was kidding; it was tasty, cold, and a welcome alternative to beer....and no hangover.....
Gotta love the name!
And they're doing it again *grinning madly* shall we???
9/10 – Engine Room – Tallahassee, FL
9/11 – Skipper's Smokehouse – Tampa, FL
9/12 – The Social – Orlando, FL
Who's up for hitting Skipper's on the 11th? It's a Friday night and we had so much fun last time. But I'm going slow on the margaritas and eating some carbs this time. I want to remember the whole concert!
Esc, this is awesome -- thanks for posting. Count me in for Skippers and I'd be game for Orlando as well. Outstanding!
A second big helping of the Haggis....! Oh yeah!! ;D
*grinning* YAY! I'm looking forward to it.
I'm anxious to hear if Madge will feel up to it, I think that's her return week from Michigan.
Slight brain fade on my part, Michigan doesn't end for another month. Madge won't be with us.
Bumping this up, the Tampa concert is the 11th of September. Got our tickets today. Who's joining us?
They are in Chapel Hill tomorrow.
Esc, while I am not 100%, it is still my plan to attend! I may not be there too late however as I have to be in Gainesville at 7 AM for tailgating the next morning.
Alas, Lady Maud and I will be absent. Too much to do before we leave on the 13th for Ohio and Meghan's wedding!
No problem with the early night, Hector. We've got to drive to Ft Lauderdale the next day so, while the there will be alcohol involved, any drinking will be in moderation.
Ambios, I understand why you and Lady Maud won't be joining us. Know that you, and all those who can't attend, will be missed. Safe journey
really wishing I could figure out how to be in two places at once! Love y'all. Dance a jig or two for me!!! ;D

You know there's a group of us that dearly wish you could pull off that stunt (2 places at once) the NEXT weekend too ;) ! You will be sorely missed, but we know you'll be there in spirit ;D :'( ;D
Indeed Ambios! You know I'm there in love and thoughts. Give me girl a big squeeze and kiss for me, will you please? Safe travels!

Most assuredly (she'll get her first live hug Monday afternoon!)...and you know we'll share pictures just as soon as they're available! Hope you continue to have a great run!
