    If I see you, I'll say hello. I'll be there with the Glendale Pipes and Drums. We'll be wearing Black Watch.

    Well, I told David you said "Hi!". I think it kind of took him by surprise at first, until he realized I wasn't a crazy person (little does he know!) ha!

    Anyhow, it was great fun!

    You surprised him enough that he didn't remember to have you sign the guest book. LOL David is one of my volunteers for the clan tents and also the Treasurer of the Clan MacLea (Livingstone) Society International. He was happy to have everyone stop by and visit. One of the hardest thing to do is to sit/stand around a clan tent when it's your first time, not knowing what all the accepted things are and not have anyone to talk with. Gets VERY boring quickly so he was happy to have ANYONE stop and talk.

    @ Todd,
    No problem, thanks to you guys for involving my ears in the festivities! And yes, I did. I only found about 4 vendors, and it took my about 3 hours to pick one out, but I believe I got the best bang for my buck. Trust me; I was opening them, tugging them, smelling them. People probably thought me nuts, but I made sure it could take some wear before I bought it.

    @Greg,
    Haha yea, never having gone to a Celtic festival it was really neat being able to check out the different clan tents! And your representative was very welcoming! I thoroughly enjoyed the festival both Saturday and Sunday!


    I have some pictures, mostly of me and the people I was with, but I will post a couple including the amazing sunset!

    I'm pretty sure I'll be there this year (for the first time). It sounds like many of my co-workers will be there too (although none of them will be kilted).

    Who's up for a bit of a meetup at the Celtic Festival on Saturday, and maybe some food & drink at the Auld Dubliner afterward?
