You should - It was a great time. 34 pipe bands from California to Canada massed on the field in 3 waves. Over 500 pipers and drummers. The Windsor Ontario Police Band took first place in grade 5 (that's for BLU). There was never not piping going on.
About 100+ clan tents. A first-rate sporran maker (Clanleatherworks.com) had these dirks with a handle of black bear jaw (teeth would be a bit tough on the hand, but lookes awesome) and sqians dubh with coyote jaw.
I showed up too late for the picture, but met Scot, Cawdorian, and Gilmore, and Matt N. the next day. Bought a sterling silver Gordon cap badge (lovely) and a silver heatherstone kilt pin.
Next year I plan to camp at Stone Mountain. Alan (Renegade Kilts) did, and may want to toss in his experience. One of my clan members described the impromptu caleidh that was the highlight of the games for her. Someone brought out a full haggis, so there were 50 whiskies lined up for the toast. Everyone recited the poem. There was piping and drumming and a procession around the campground. Tons of good fellowship and all of it kilted. Sorry I missed out on that one.
