I'm going to make every effort to go Saturday, I was planning on going to Atlanta for the Burns Dinner but with the BAD weather up there I'm not willing to take the trip.

I'm hoping my son David will come with me. But you know 13 year olds, I willsuggest everyone dress WARM, this might be Florida, but that Damn wind is COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! 31* here thismorning.

I will most definitely be at the games on Saturday. You may well find me hanging around wherever Rosie O'Grady's Highlanders are.

But ... should we also have a meet and greet somewhere?

May I suggest 10:30 a.m. Saturday, to the right of the Beer Tent as you face the Main Stage? (The "Main Stage" is the one where bands perform, NOT the one used in opening and closing ceremonies.) That would be east of Beer Tent, southeast of the stage, at the top of the slope leading down to the stage.

theres gonna be a beer tent? ROCK ON... this will actually be my first highland games... that sounds great i will be wearing a gordon thrifty kilt with a black t shirt, if its still cold then i will have an alpine cut black and red coat on.

You can find a map on the website:

I'll be in a Black-and-red Munro kilt, with either a gray herringbone jacket or a gray Inverness cape.

I'll probably be at the dunedin beer tent, wearing a stewart (red) kilt and most likely a grey fleece. Would be cool to meet some Xmarkers. Catch me early enough and you just might get a sample of some cask strength McCallan I've stashed away.

10:30 east side of the beer tent, top of the slope... roger that... like i said gordon, blue northface, black hose, if im not wearing my hat the guy with the mohawk lol look forward to meeting yall.

Will miss the games, but just found out I'll be in Orlando for a business conference Feb 2-6 at the Rosen Centre. Its the National Health Service Corps conference. Have to attend all their gigs since they're paying the bills.

Don't know what there is in the way of Celtic venues in Orlando but it looks like my Friday night 2/4 is free....if anyone wanted to gather kilted somewhere.

I'm headed out on a three day weekend, back Monday afternoon to see what, if anything, works.
