Burns Night Toronto 2013

[JohntheBiker]

Thanks, JohntheBiker, for posting about that Burns Club/Scottish Studies event. Do you know if any other Xmarkers are going? It looks good, but the event at the Pour House suits my budget better

Colin, clearly there is at least one other Xmarker going, although we will most likely not recognize each other. Not inexpensive for sure but for a formal dinner at the Granite Club, Burn's Supper activities as well as ceilidh dancing (including two dance practices at the club) it's a pretty good value.

I went to make a reservation at the Pour House, but it turns out they are actually selling advance tickets. If anyone is interested, pick some up soon because they only have a handful left!

Also, I'm planning to try and make it down to the Caledonian on Wednesday for a pre-Burns, afterwork, kilted, pub night with Singlemalt. They are advertising "Burns Week Scotch Tastings, Dancers, Spoken Word, Pipes" from Jan 21st to 26th.

I'm sorry I can't be at any of these events as I no longer live in the Toronto area. However, I did attend the Cobourg Burns Gala on the 19th. I may even fit in a local Burns event this weekend in Trenton if I can manage it.
CMcG, I really like the Caledonian and I have fond memories of us at the Tartan Day gathering a couple of years ago. It is a great pub, really nice ambiance.
Please lift a glass for me.

I will gladly drink to your health and hope we meet again another time!

I packed my kilt and looking forward to a couple of pints at Caledonian tomorrow after work. I had hoped my son could join us as well but he is working. I decided on a 16oz wool tank, forecast is a high of -12 tomorrow.

Yup, it's definitely going to be 16oz tank weather. Approximately what time are you aiming to get down there for?

I have some flexibility but how does 6:30-7:00 work for you?

That works nicely. Looking forward to it!
