What you don't believe the Nor Cal Rabble?

I have photographic evidence...

Here is a thread for the good Ladies and Gentlemen of the Nor Cal Rabble to post their pictures of the Livermore Highland Games!

Dances were danced, Cabers were tossed, and refreshing beverages (not to mention a lot of chocolate*) were consumed

More photos to come!

Cheers

Jamie :ootd:

When I saw the hat in the first picture I thought it must be Coemgen!

Here's the view from the X Marks Rabble hangout tent, kindly supplied by Bunchdescendent and family, looking out over the athletic field and the grounds.

The tent provided SHADE and was *quite* popular!!! Here, Demolay1310 hangs out with Bunchdescendent and the little celtic dancer, who I clearly caught by surprise with the camera.

Here are a few pics for the "Lasses Wear" thread, though certainly not all of our X Marks lasses would opt for what some of these ladies are wearing!

Shadylass!

When it's this hot, everybody needs a parasol! The woman in the white dress is part of one of our local SCD groups, and illustrates what her Association wears at the Games.

One of the things I love about the Games is seeing the re-enactors, and especially some of the to-die-for dresses and gowns that the women have made. I can't imagine how much work....

Tim C, Panache and the F-H.C.A.G.

Xena always wants to say Hi to TimC. For a big, shaved-head tattooe'd bruiser...OK, "mediumweight" bruiser, TimC is a favorite with the kids.

Just about to kick out for an Open Stone toss...

TimC on the "Lion" caber. BTW, Tim is wearing the Coast Guard tartan.

I think that Bunchdescendent got away without his family putting him in debt at the vendors tents!

And here's perennial X Mark lurker and party-attender, Casey, who is for sale for $50, if he can hear you make an offer to purchase!..... (actually it's his baldric that's for sale, and I got this shot as the Gatling gun was going off...)

Soon to come...video of TimC at the Weight over the Bar!
