Our monthly gathering was a little early this month, since the kind brewers at The Devil's Canyon didn't want to drag us all out the day after Christmas. Or maybe they didn't want to drag themselves out?

It was very cold, so we all had to dress appropriately in many layers, and there was a variety of hats present-here in this group shot, we get an idea of that variety.

Walkerk is wearing a nice beret, Panache is wearing his current favorite (a Kangol tweed hat), Monkey@Arms has decided to confuse us all by wearing a fez, way2fractious has a cool little flat cap (it has little ear flaps that are tucked up under the hat in this picture), and Bill is trying to decide whether he is Mickey Mouse or Santa Claus!



Our wonderful new Freedom Kilts got to go out together for the first time. I think there may even be some pictures of us together on someone else's camera. Here, Panache and Monkey@Arms enjoy some good tobacco. Panache lifts his pipe to The Wizard.



Because they always have to dress alike, walkerk also wore his Freedom Kilt in Isle of Skye, and his raccoon. We actually managed to get a nice shot of AlanH here without his mouth open!



way2fractious was kind enough to wear his matching Pink Death kilt (ok, his IS a little bit longer). He had to wear his full mask sporran as well, but you can hardly see it here, courtesy of the traditional "goddess" pose. Ignore the devil dog in the background.



More to come...
