    Aside from us jumping and acting like fools, is there a way to spot our fellow xmarkers?

    Yeah, we're the guys in kilts who are jumping and acting like fools.

    Actually, this problem has come up before. Other than wearing some distinctive article of clothing, like the Xmarks t-shirt, no good answer has come up. And that's not a complete solution, because a member may not have the distinctive article, or may choose not to wear it.

    Unless you recognize the person from their pictures, the only way is to go up to everyone in a kilt and ask, "Are you on Xmarks?" Fellow members will greet you , and everyone else will look at you REALLY strangely.:rolleyes:

    Maybe right before the event we could all post a recent picture of ourselves kilted?

    If real hot SWK Irish, if muddy again SWK nightstalker, if real nice or strangely cold, Dunbar modern 16oz. I may be with a lovely wife (wearing kilt inspector shirt); 1 to 4 teens dressed as country, punk, goth; a redtick coonhound; a giant in USAKilt Gunn; and maybe some strangers hanging on for dear life.

    It sounds like Randy has upgraded to a new accessory - the entourage!

    X-Markers are easy to spot. We're the ones with the largest entourage of beautiful women.

    I just placed my ticketorder and made reservations at the Days Inn. I'll be there Friday afternoon and attend both days of the festival. Not sure which kilts I'll wear, but I will have my Xmarks tee shirt on at least one of the two days. Maybe we can all find a pub or someplace to get together on Friday or Saturday night. My designated driver (wife) will be with me, so I will be able to down a pint or three. I know that we'll have dinner at the "Red Hot and Blue" barbecue resturant at least one of the two evenings.
