This is a wonderful event, to which I have been going for over 20 years. Before my kids were born, I'd go on Friday and stay until Monday. These days, it's a day trip. I'll be there on Saturday, when the headliner is "Enter the Haggis." Look for this guy:

OMG what a great post! You know I'll try and make it Bob!

Hope to see you there, Di. I'll be with two six-foot-tall women and a shorter Italian one.

That's how I roll.

Bumping this up because the festival is this weekend. Check the link in the initial post to see all the great musicians that will be there.

Went to the festival yesterday. "Enter the Haggis" was wonderful, as was "Greenwich Meantime," whom I had not heard of before. Also enjoyed "Shillealeagh Law," "Jameson's Revenge" and "Celtic Cross."

Wore my Irish National kilt. Saw two other tartan kilts and two black ones. That's not counting the Albany Police Pipe Band, who were kilted, of course.

I won't tell you how much Guinness I drank. You might think I'm a drunk. Let's just say you can drink quite a few pints over a 9-hour period and not be trashed.
