I must say, that sounds like quite a bargain even with the increased price. I wish we had an event like this in SoCal. Hope you all have a wonderful time.

Alright, I'm emerging from my hibernation in the Monkey House to make my annual pitch:

I suspect there's a bunch of people in the greater San Francisco/San Jose/Santa Cruz etc. area on board now that I haven't met yet, or who just haven't made it our Burns Supper in the past. The following message is for you.

Perhaps you are a little nervous about attending the Nor Cal Rabble Burns Supper, because you haven't been before. Here's my personal invitation to you. Come to this event!

Do you like kilts? There will be kilts there, traditional, modern, we don't care what kind you're into, just as long as you like kilts.

Do you like whisky? Oh, there will be some fine fine whisky there or my name isn't WalkerK. Hey wait it minute, that isn't my name! OK the whisky I bring won't be quite as fine as his, but the beauty of the event is that he shares. Perhaps you have some fine whisky to share? I like you already! We'll welcome you without whisky too, but you still have to like kilts.

Are you already a fan of the works of Robert Burns? Great! We will try our best not to cause another international incident in his name, but no promises. Don't know Burns? That's OK too, I personally guarantee you will know more about him then when you arrived, and have a fabulous time, or my name isn't Panache. Oh wait, that's not my name either, but don't tell that to the ravishing F.H.C.A.G.

Did I mention the Haggis? I loves me some haggis, if you don't want to eat any however, no one will point at you and call you names. More for the rest of us! Lots of other good eats too, because our supper is a communal effort (overseen by the Amazing Madalyn) that's why it only costs $15.

Bottom line is that it will be a night to remember (or at least difficult to forget), and its not too late to get on board. Just see the first post for details, and tell them Jake sent you. Hey, that is me!

Best regards,

Jake

If anyone wishes additional encouragement to attend, apparently that long winded Panache fellow isn't the Master of Ceremonies this year. it seems some monkey will be there hosting the marvelous evening of food, drink, music, dance, poetry, song, friendship, and lots of laughter. As it is Jake's debut as host I urge everyone to come...


....AND please bring fruit to hurl at him! *

Cheers

Jamie


P.S. Tomatoes technically count as fruit!





* Hey I'm being nice! Monkey's are suppose to like fruit!

After much pressure from Panache (if you ask nicely, I'll show you the scars) I have agreed to do the Immortal Memory, again this year. With any luck at all, if there is video, I will probably spark another international incident.

AND YOU COULD BE THERE.

Also, the after-dinner band is back.
