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.

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!!!

Nothing better in life than enjoying a pint amongst friends...Huzzah!

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.

I second that! Far too few kilts!

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!  ::)
