How about 1:00 on Saturday at the Lamont tent? That hsould allow the pipers and other participants to get the noon gathering done and still get there for a group shot. I'm up for any other proposals, but I thought I'd at least get things going.

I talked to Greg at the Celtic Tavern last night, and he'll give us any consideration we want if we want to meet there. I'll definitely be there on Friday evening, and we'll have more fun than I ever did at the reception. (No insult intended toward the reception, and I do love to dress up for it. I just like the more intimate setting of the Tavern where we can stand around, talk, wander out on the streeet, etc.

A bunch of us will also go to the German restaurant just outside the west gate in the village of Stone Mountain again on Saturday evening. If you want to go, let me know and I'll have Klaus reserve the patio for us, assuming the weather cooperates!

So, let me hear from you guys. Where do we meet? When? Whose cattle are we going to reive first?

My wife and I will be driving up from Cincinnati on Friday. We are not sure what time we will be arriving. Do you have any idea when you will be getting together on Friday evening?

Firday evening will begin anytime after about 5:00 or so. Come anytime; the place will be hopping until late, but those of us who are long of tooth may have to retire after 8:00 or so. Ha. You can call the place and ask for me if you like.

Thanks Jim. No GPS, but I've googlemapped it from my hotel. Looks to be about an hours drive, but I probably will have to be on the road by 3:30 to be there by 5ish.

Should I be bringing my dancing shoes?

Bring anything you like. There won't be any organized activities, unless we get up a cattle reivin' expedition, which is always a possibility if when Turpin shows up.

Be sure to let me know when you're expected so we can be looking for you. You won't have a problem finding us; look for the guys in kilt standing around on the sidewalk.

But to your point, if you bring your dancing shoes and want to show us a step or two, just let me know in advance, and I'll make sure they have whatever music you need. Or bring it. Just PM or call. I'd love to see you dance, and I'm sure the rest of the rabble--and the locals who've never seen it--would love it as well.

I'll chime in again- Please do stop by the STM tent and say hello! We're right behind the grandstand, so you can't miss us!

Hope to see everyone in a few days!

I am looking forward to it , So we meet at 1:00 PM at the Lamont tent right?

That's the plan. I think that, if you come in the front gate and just keep following the trail straight back, the Lamont tent is on your right as you go along. There'll be a map available to show you how to get there once you're in the meadows.

I didn't bring THOSE dance shoes, I was more referring to having a scuff. Of course I'll certainly dance if pressured, but only if I get some volunteers to dance too!

Should be there no later than 6pm, hopefully sooner.
