Burns Night in Conyers, Georgia

I hope I'm off!!

Hmm, this might work for me, we have another Burn's Supper on the 20th. I'll talk to my wife and see if she thinks we can tough out 2 Burn's Suppers within a week. You know you have to drink a lot of toasts and consume a lot of scotch at the things.

PS: If she knows I'm going to a Burn's Supper she won't let me go alone, she loves them too.

Twa Burns Suppers? That's nothing! I'm going to FIVE Burns Suppers this year, and giving the Immortal Memory at three of them!

I wish I could go with you those five Burn's Suppers too, they are just so much fun. If you haven't been to a Burn's Supper you've missed out on one life's greatest experiences.

Come along then; two of them are in Arkansas, Ft. Smith and Eureka Springs, to be exact, so that wouldn't be as far (relatively speaking) of a drive for you! :mrgreen:

You're right, they are closer, I thought I would have to drive all the way to SE Missouri to participate in them.

SE MO would be closer to GA than SouthWEST Missouri, where I am! :mrgreen:

You seem an expert. Any advice on pronunciation guides to Burn's "Address of the Haggis"?

Cheers

Panache,

I learned the Address from a good friend of mine, Christopher Tait:

http://www.robertburnslive.co.uk/

His DVD is well worth the price of admission and does help with the pronunciation, since Chris is "the genuine article".

There are pronunciation guides around on the Internet, of course, but Chris's DVD is a good way to actually see the Address and hear it being done correctly.

I believe you can order them in the States.

Yours in Burns,

Todd
