Gilmore! You're back! Good to see you after a long absence.

I'll see what I can do about a vegetarian haggis. I shall look forward to seeing you in about a month!

Sorry, John, I forgot that not everyone knows the Tavern. Here are all the details:
1. Dress is casual (not all of our attenders even own black tie attire), but I do encourage appropriate dress. A tie and sweater at a minimum is appreciated.

2. Dinner is $20. If you bring children, they can order off the menu for a cheaper dinner. The cost includes full dinner (haggis, neeps and tatties, tea or water, etc. + one shot of scotch to toast the haggis). If you want to order from the bar, it's on your own tab.

3. The Supper is at 6:00 PM on Jan. 28, but many of us will gather as early as 4:00 (or even earlier) to drink, compare kilts, etc., and lie.

4. We will need a reservation in advance as seating is limited. I'll get back to you about advance pay once I've spoken to Greg, the owner. We'll need a definite head count for sure.

5. The location is the Celtic Tavern, where we've have all 5 previous annual suppers. We've gone from 6 or 7 the first years to over 30 now days. go to http://conyersceltictavern.com/ for details on the Tavern itself.

6. Anyone coming from out of town can stay at the Jameson or LaQuinta Inn. I think both are satisfactory and close to the Tavern. If you want a cab, it would be a minimal charge.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

And, BTW, I do not get any compensation or kick-back for this stuff. I just love the Supper and seeing my friends. If weather permits, we'll all be hanging out in front, listening to the pipes, and telling great tales of daring do.
