    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?

    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! )

    First time (great)kilted ...

    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!)

    Alan,

    We will try our best to get there asap. The F-H.C.A.G. had another surgery put on her plate last night for today so she will be working very hard to get out the door of the clinic by 5:00.

    Motorman,

    We will toast your health. Hope you can make it next month (and for Burn's Night in January!)

    Switchblade,

    Pictures? Absolutely!

    See you at the Devil's Canyon Brewery!

    Cheers
