    I'll be there on Saturday, morining till I fall out or get thrown out. Staying about an hour away in Wilkesboro to avoid the crowds should I want to bug out for a while. Might come back in for a while on Sunday but like Hank, depends on the money situation. Look for a beret with an X Marks pin on an old, white haired guy with a ponytail. Long range forcast looks good for the weekend and I'm looking forward to it.

    Hank are you going to set up down the mountain? I might help your budget a bit if you are.

    Volunteer staff from the Scottish Tartans Museum will be there for the duration of the games. I'm thinking about coming up for the day on Friday, but haven't discussed it with my wife yet. Anyway, if you are there on Friday, look for me at the Scottish Tartans Museum tent. We will be set up near the main entrance, next to the STA/TECA tent. Both of us will be looking up names, answering tartan related questions, etc.

    Aye,
    Matt

    Darn, wish you were going to be there on Saturday too. Love to meet you in person but I understand the demands of having both a job and a newborn.
    Hope the volunteer help is Carl and his delightful child bride, I did enjoy talking to them greatly.

    Well, I sure thank ya'll for signing in...I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can. While you're wandering around just look for a tall blonde guy with a 4" goatee and his 14 yr old son who looks a bit like a punk rocker!

    Again, we'll be in the 1 am curfew campsite...ya'll come by for a dram!



    P.S. - I am really geared up for this games! Woohoo!!

    I don't think Carl and Ginny are among thsoe who signed up. Stop by and say hi, regardless!

    I would consider staying the whole weekend, but leaving my wife alone at home with three kids under three for three days is not her idea of fun! And the kids are all a bit too young yet to come up to the Games with us for that length of time and have fun. But I'd like to come up at least for the day and say hi to some friends, etc.

    Looks like I'll probably be there Friday.
