Virginia Kilt Night in Richmond

[djweso]

Well for those who missed it (which was pretty much everyone but JayFilomena and I), a great time was had by all. We met up at the Capital Alehouse @ Innsbrook in Richmond, Va on last Saturday the 1st of March. If you have the chance to stop by this fine establishment, I would. If you like/love beer, this place is for you. I love beer. My wife accompanied me, in the Xskirt she made based on the Xkilt pattern (this was before the Xskirt pattern was available) and I was my grey cotton Xkilt (that she made for me ). I didn't take many pics because I left my camera in the car and was having too good a time to leave for it, also the pics we did take didn't come out very well, so no big loss. Hopefully Jay will be able to add a couple. On to the pics:

Check out the notes on Flickr
(all you have to do is point your mouse at the pic, the notes will show up and then point at the notes to read them).

My wife and I (sorry its out of focus, the camera had a hard time with the low light in the bar)

Check out the notes on this one too.

Hopefully there will be a few more of us next time. But even if not, I bet we'll have a good time.

I posted other pic of my trip to Richmond in a separate thread.

I'm very sorry to have missed it. I will have to not let the drive stop me next time (2hrs each way is a long haul for me).

Thanks for the sharing and the pix. Glad to see that you were able to enjoy a little more of the Capital City. I enjoyed living there a long time ago in another life.(Saw Star Wars the first time it was shown in Richmond!)

I feel you're pain, it would've been 50/50 if I had had to drive back the same night. Especially without my wife/navigator/co-pilot. We also took the long way back - down through Petersburg, over to Emporia on to Suffolk then down to Edenton, NC(we had to pick up my kids from the babysitter/my mom).

My wife and I both really like Richmond and look forward to going back again.

Nice pics, wish I could have made it. I sent Jay a Pm bout it that morning. My daughters decided to drive in from Roanoke that day to have a "surprise party" for my birthday. I felt somewhat obligated to attend. It was nice, but I would have rather been there sampling some of the brews at the ale house, and meeting a few of the rabble.

Happy belated Birthday! I hope you enjoyed the party. We'll see you next time ;)

DJ, it was a great time and I very much enjoyed meeting your wife. For my first kilt night, three kilties in the pub were a great start. It was Gordons first attempt at the kilt and he thinks he pulled it off rather well. he is talking about getting one of his own now. He borrowed my UK.
