Here are some scenes from our modest gathering of X-markers and friends.

Jack, the ever-present, friendly doorman

He identified the tartan as Moore/Muir - a family tartan.

The gleaming bar inside and restaurant beyond


This seems a dangerous place
for somone in a kilt to stand


Arrogcow, Rex, and UtiliKris


Adam and Maureen in the lobby of the Jarson-Kaplan
theater following the performance of La Sylphide



UtiliKris and I had a great chat at the bar before Adam and Maureen arrived, and it was a pleasure to see the two of them again. I got a close-up look at Adam's impressively cavernous Freelander sporran for the first time, much to Maureen and Chris's amusement.

The kilts on stage at the ballet were on straight for the most part, but we have to keep in mind what I said in the other thread: ballets tend to tell stories through impressions, not, apparently, a slavish attention to details. I had hoped that the leads would be played by professionals, but that didn't turn out to be the case. There were some good performances by the kids, however, and you could tell they all worked hard to prepare.
