Portland area kilt night, next Tuesday the 26th!

**ratspike** · 20th November 13, 10:58 AM

I thought I'd make an official post with the date for our meetup. Here's the scoop.

Next Tuesday, November 26th at 7:30pm we're meeting at The Highland Stillhouse in Oregon City. It looks like we've got a small handful of folks planning to come, but out little gathering will be even better if YOU are there too! Bring a friend or three if you'd like. All are welcome, even those wearing trousers.

I sent an invite to the Stumptown Kilts boys as well, so hopefully they'll join us.

Word is that the bar gets crowded and may not provide an optimal space in which to show off our kilts, but I love the idea of meeting here, so this will be a test kilt night. If it ends up not being an ideal venue we'll try a different place the next time.

So then, to recap: next Tuesday, 7:30pm, Highland Stillhouse. Hope to see lots of smiling faces and fabulous kilts!

Good on you for organizing that - but its a LONG drive from Vancouver. Grew up in Portland but probably would be totally lost today - last time there was a visit in 1968... I'll be there in spirit though.

Obviously I need to poke my head in here to take a peek a bit more often. I nearly missed this whole thing. Would you happen to know if there is a porch or patio at the venue where a gentleman (kilted or not) might enjoy a pipe with his kilted companions?

Barring some unforeseen misfortune I will be there. I look forward to meeting you all.

Sorry, forgot you folks built freeways since I left....do enjoy. Hard to find good fish & chips...now my massive belly is rumbling from imaginary indulgence....

Alas, I have to work that day and evening due to being one of our busiest times of the year. Love to have gone but duty calls. Have great fun!!!

We were at the still house yesterday, so I warned Mick that we would be coming in on Tuesday. He said that there is a St Andrews event as well, but that he would accommodate us. I suggest we enter through the upper door and stay upstairs in the bar. It can be a crush.

Yikes! Well, we'll make it work one way or another and it'll be awesome. If we have to rumble with the St. Andrews folks then so be it.

Upstairs in the bar it is. I'm not sure yet which kilt I'll wear but I have lots of tattoos so I'm pretty easy to spot.

scotswelshrunner, sorry to hear you're stuck at work but I hope you'll be able to make it next time. I'm tentatively thinking about the Tuesday before xmas, but we'll see what the hivemind's thoughts are on Tuesday.

Well, thank you Victoria, you beat me to the punch....I was slated on my schedule to give Mick a call personally tomorrow (sat) when I had a few moments, but you've given Mick the heads up already. That's ok....as Bob said, we will co-exist with our St Andrews brethren and it will be an event to remember and set the new standard for this region......Mick, here we come....better have some extra good Fish-N-Chips ready for the rabble.....

Ok, all those attending the Kilted Night at the Highland Stillhouse in Oregon City.....

It appears we will have a proper gathering starting at 7:30p local time. With the expected attending St Andrews folk, we might have indeed a good group. See you all tomorrow eve......I believe between Bob and I sporting longer hair and kilts, we might not be hard to find.......
