Tenative Nor-Cal Make a Kilt Weekend

[Alan H]

Last weekend in October.

**the first weekend in October is the Ben Lomond Games..out
**the second weekend is the Seaside Games in Ventura (hope to go, and compete and meet Yaish)...out
**I'm up in Portland for a conference the third weekend...out

...which leaves the fourth weekend, Saturday October 24th. Added Extra Benefit: If you come in for the weekend, you'll get to hang out with the Nor Cal Rabble at Beer and Kilts night at the Devils Canyon Brewery on Friday the 24th. You've seen the pics, you've salivated over the beer goddesses. Now, Live the Dream.

However, we could move the weekend into the first or second weekend in November. I'm easy.

Here's the plan. I will find a "place"...probably my church's fellowship hall. We set up tables and bring in sewing machines. We meet at 7:00 AM :eek: and start laying out fabric and sewing. The goal? By 7:00 PM you will have a machine-sewn casual kilt...tartan pleated to stripe, or solid or camouflage, done and ready to hit the town on Saturday night. You can make a casual, unlined lightweight knife-pleated kilt or an X-Kilt. If you don't quite finish, you'll be so close that you can finish it in one or two evenings when you get home.

We will have **cough** experts on hand to help. I think.... You gotta bring your own fabric and your own sewing machine, though I won't be making one that day so ONE person can borrow my old singer straight-stitch. I will provide coffee and rubber chicken floggings for motivation and of course, photographs to show to your grandchildren.

Plan now.

Pipe up if you have 'druthers about the dates.

Dearest Alan, how can we be at the Devil's Canyon on the 24th and also be sewing on the 24th?

By the way, the last Friday in October (Devil's Canyon Friday) is the 31st (Halloween). I still think that the 25th for sewing is a good idea, I'll try to be sure I don't work that day (which means I will have to work November 1st, so no heavy drinking on Halloween-I'm sure you're all breathing a sigh of relief, and somewhere Panache is cheering!).

Be well,

Did I mess up? It's NEVER happened before!

you are right, the last Friday in October is HALLOWEEN! Bad weekend for a sewing pahhhty. The 24th (or is it the 25th) Saturday is much better.

Nov is probably better for me. Hopefully it will work out with work

Depending on the drive, I may be able to head down from Oregon and join you.
Where exactly are we talking about?

<hijack> You are in Portland the 3rd weekend in October? As in, Portland Oregon? If so, I may be able to run up and meet you for a bite of lunch or something. Shoot me a PM and let me know.</hijack>
