The wife and I hope to attend, just depending on work schedule.

Wife and I will be there. We plan to attend the renewal of wedding vows event. Our Clan Douglas tent won't be there, so not sure where we'll hang out. I will be marching with SAMS, but won't hang out there with the wife who has little interest in listening to old veterans tell the same story for the sixth time this year, and cuss a lot. We'll look for you and Holly, Rich; hope to see you there. How can I recognize you Highlander?

I'll be around the Clan Mackintosh tent, at the games area, or near the music and food. I will have on a Mackintosh red kilt and a clan tee shirt.

Glad we were able to connect for a brief chat. Fun games, and hope to see the NorCal rabble at Woodland in April (if not sooner! Kilt night in Oakland or SF?)

Here are a few pictures from the games.

Yes, nice to meet you, and look forward to the Woodland (Sacramento) games. Kilt night out sounds like a good idea. Sacramento area works better for me, but I don't know how many of the rabble are in this area.
