Binghamton, NY, Kilt Night!

[twollin]

Brian - Sorry we had to miss this first one; DH and I were working the booth for Utilikilts in MD at an event over the weekend. As word of mouth gets around, I'm sure we'll see more kilted folk at the Kilt Nights. My husband, on the other hand, has fallen in love with his UK and promises me that he will wear it at First Friday in October (that will be the 7th) downtown. Care to join us? If nothing else, we can probably have a drink in the open bar area on State Street by Stephen's Square and DH won't feel so "exposed". The event in MD was under a huge tent with sides, so everyone except those of us in kilts were roasting - hot, humid, no breeze, dusty. Had no problems talking about the comfort issues those two days. :grin:

Coincidentally, I wore my kilt to 1st Friday for August! We should definitely meet. My wife loves 1st Friday, and I love an excuse to put a kilt on....

Do plan on Kilt Night that weekend, too!!

Twollin, I was at that event in Maryland (I think. Montgomery County Fairgrounds? Rodeo?) I stopped by the Utilikilts booth wearing one of my Utilikilts and almost got a buddy kilted that day. I do believe perhaps we met.

I'm planning to make it to this one, Brian. It'll be good to hear some live Irish music and tip a pint.

Cool! "Beerbecue" and his wife are planning to come by, too, so X-Marks will be well represented...!

Actually, due to illness, we will be staying home tonight.....

But I will be thinking of you all.....

The next Binghamton area gathering at McGirk's will be Sat., 10 December. We will again be lucky to have traditional tunes (beginning around 8:30) by "West o' Clare." See you there...!

Just bumping this up to remind everyone that it's coming.

I'm planning to be there, Brian. I will not be blessed with the company of my wife this time, so I'll have to severely limit my Guinness intake. :smile:

The next installment of "Twin Tiers Kilt Night" is Saturday, 14 January, still at McGirk's and again with music by "West o' Clare."

We're up again at McGirk's this coming Saturday evening, the 11th. Music by our friends "West o' Clare" (I have to get those Irishmen into kilts somehow...!)

If you're in range of Binghamton, come join us!!
