Early Burns Dinner Pics from da U.P.

[MacMullen]

It looks like you guys had a great time at the camp: good job!

Bryan...so how tall *are* you?...

I'm 6'10". It was nice to have another person there *almost* as tall as I am. It was weird looking the piper in the eye, as I usually have a good view of the tops of people's heads. Whether they wanted to or not, everyone at the dinner looked up to me.


Of course, the dinner ended with Auld Lang Syne, although most of us hung around until the wee hours.

Fine single malt was consumed by all:

Maybe it was too fine?

It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to going again next year. Now that I've attended the backwoods version, I may have to find myself a more formal Burn's Supper to experience that too. Of course, St. Andrews is coming up. Hmmm...

I had told Steve the Cop said that I was half expecting to see him in the full piper outfit, which he said he'd wear next year just because I asked. I hope I haven't gone and ruined the unique experience of a UP Burn's Supper by making it more formal!
