Bay Area Kilt Night -October 28th

Full Boar Rationing / Kilt Ban Announcement

If you usually show up to Beer Friday in a Kilt and think its an acceptable Halloween costume you are severely mistaken, Matey. Think twice! You have been warned. ;) From the Devil's Canyon Brewery Website

The key thing to be woried about is

FULL BOAR RATIONING!!!!

I may forgo a kilt this one month for the garb of a Highwayman, but I want my Full Boar Scotch Ale!

Cheers

OK all-

I usually abstain these days (not many brain cells left to kill off...) but I have to protest this outrageous policy!!! :confused:

My kilt is NOT a halloween costume!

Why I oughtta......

Now what did I do with that battle axe and targe....."Honey, have you seen my claymore and battle axe?"

"Warning-I will not be bringing trews with me"

I will be there. They might chunk my kilted **** out of the place (or give it a good try....) but I will be there.

(remember-I'm not bringing trews)

On the other hand-add 1 hardhat, toolbelt with telecom tools, reflective orange vest-you have a kilted telecom worker. I could bring a 4' ladder and cones to add to the look.

What to do, what to do....... :confused:

Alan, Panache-got any words of wisdom on this?

Looks like I'm going to be a hit-and-run early visitor, I have to be back at the house by 7:00. I'll bring Mike's work apron and Captain Jak's jacket.

Ray,

It is a costume theme for the evening, but wear what you like. The F-H.C.A.G. will be going as Jessica Rabbit!!! and I will be in full Highwayman garb*. Tim C. and his lovely lady Damaris will be in attendance. Our friends (and regulars) Monkey@arms and Walkerk will be off in San Francisco for a scotch tasting. Alan H. will be there, but briefly. CaptainJak should be there. Not sure about Michael Steinrok or Way2fractious. It is going to be a very atypical kilt night for us. Should still be fun.

* I get to dress in kilts all the time, in contrast there are very few times of the year when it is appropriate to dress as a Highwayman ( Stand and Deliver! )

Do you remember the first time you ventured into public in a kilt? Rivulets of sweat... heart palpitations... butterflies flying formations in your stomach...

Well, wearing a great kilt in public for the first time is no different.

I've got the plaid, with small drawstring loops sewn inside; an highlands shirt; wide belt; long, stringy, black wig to go under the gray tam bonnet; proper weaponry; and, of course, the skunk sporran. Still thinking on hose and footwear. There is no intention to do the period-accurate reenactment thing; just fun.

The thought keeps occurring, 'Is Devil's Canyon Brewery is ready for such a thing?', but the recurring answer is, 'There will be highwaymen, pirates, and other unsavory characters, as well - perhaps even more over-the-top.'

(Those butterflies on the wing really generate the g-force!)
