Well with Opening Weekend still fresh in our minds, we move on to thinking of weekend #2. Highland Fling!!!! And oh how I love Highland Weekend. Kilts, kilts and more kilts. I am a Wench after all. :)
Meet and Greet at 11 all weekend with court to follow at noon.
We'll be there! :)
Must. Finish. Sewing.
Men in kilts tossing large tree trunks. Nnow that's my idea of fun!
Kilts and Tartanic! Weeeeee! ;D
Hmm no kilt, looks like pirate for me.
Men in kilts!! Oh what could be better?!
I wish I had one of those sticks with a mirror on it that two of the cast members have. So jealous of them!! ;)
I did not think I was going this weekend, but one of the guys from work is going and asked me if i wanted to go so I will be there saturday at least.. not sure about sunday.. depends if i find a campground or hotel in the area thats not full, 1h 45min is too long to drive there and back both days.
*POUTS*
Take lots and lots of pictures of the kilts PLEASE!!!!! We won't be able to make it. *sniffle sniffle*
Hello all!
I will be there and hope to meet some of you there. I don't know anyone on here yet!
Reminder to self:
No climbing up on stumps while wearing my kilt. Just a bad idea to be that high, that close to the road.
Maybe i should just stick with my goatboy outfit.
lmao.. thats all i have for that.

Oh, come on... Give the ladies a peek at those legs ;) *giggle*
It's them seeing the legs thats the issue. It's all the people shorter then my kilt who might look upwards. I do nae wanna poke some poor girls eye out.
Suddenly Nancy is very grateful she is only five foot two. ;D

Thanks for the weather report. I was wondering about that. I REALLY don't want to get my new shoes wet tomorrow!
note to self.....bring extra blankie....
thanks for the weather update......
It's going to be FINE SCOTTISH weather!
Everyone be sure to check out the highland games being held in the special events area. They (for the most part) are all really great friends of Ivor and I. So stop by and cheer them on. Hopefully Ivor will be home in time to compeate there next year. Oh and if you see a guy named Jeremy McBain...eat a pickle seductivly (ok well maybe not all you guys) in front of him. Or just call him Pickles!
hehehe
It's going to be fine Scotish weather, and it's going to be a stupendous day!
Indeed, you can not miss the games... there is something for everyone. Oh, and you should see all the KILTS ;D
*giggle* Pickles! I forgot about that... thanks for reminding me. LMAO!
I had a great time during the Highland weekend! Tartanic was great (again)! Loved the Highland games and really loved all the men in kilts!!
I fell in love with one of the pickle guys (never got his name, oops). And I loved the Scottish Car Wash that I received from Tartanic!! lol!
here is a small video of Hob the Troll at his brige.. was taked with my camera so not the greatest. its in AVI format. the size is 26MB so its probably better to right click and 'save as' instead of just opening.

reformatted as a WMV file and uploaded.. its only 4.66MB now, so you can either click to open it or right click and 'save as' here is the new link

sent a message to his myspace so i can gethima copy of it.
A huge round of applause for all the acts that participated in the Pub sing on Sunday!!! The mix of guest acts to celebrate the Highland weekend added to the awesome regulars like Connor Savage and Bocca Musica (two of my personal favorites) was incredible! I wish I remembered all their names as it was totally awesome!!
The highlight was when Tartanic ended up shirtless thanks to the washing well wenches and our beloved Queen (as she stated, she is single after all!). Thanks again all for a great finish to a great weekend!!!
Personally, and it may have been the heat, but there were NOT enough men in kilts! and what men were in kilts all had ladies. I was most heartbroken.
Seriously, I had a blast, even in the blaring heat and sang so much, I can no longer speak.

Out of respect for the many ladies who enjoy the sight of handsome men in kilts, and wanting to be sure their pleasure was in no way diminished...I wore trousers! ::)
Hey I was in a kilt Sunday.
Men in Kilts... from Sunday August 24th.

Crannog was there and we where blessed with an appearance of Gibbon on Sunday too!
OMG! I second that... It was absolutely fantastic to see Gibbon on Sunday. What a wonderful surprise addition to Pub Sing!
I missed seeing him preform. I hope he'll make another surprise appearance.
Gibbon was awesome, he's the one I couldn't remember his name!
