Great pics, Fluter! Thanks! The friend, wearing the NYC Commemorative tartan, is Marc Sifuentes, my weightlifting and highland games partner. He claims the distinction of being the only Spanish highland heavy athlete on the east coast. 
Greenville, in its infancy, is quickly becoming a really great festival and games - everything was top of the line this year, and there had to be at least 25,000 in attendance. The organizers deserve a lot of credit for putting a festival and games of this calibre together. The only bad thing is that there is so much to see and do that it's too short. Maybe in future years they could expand it into a Friday - Sunday event.
Grant - I got to hang out with Corey and Stuart for a bit and they were holding up okay in the heat. But dang, it was hot! One of them made the comment that I've been out of Canada too long when it was that hot and I wasn't sweating...the secret was my proximity to the beer tent. 
The guys put on an awesome show, as always. But yeah, Turpin, they closed their set, took a breather and packed up while Albannach did their set. By the end of the Albannach set they were already on the road to Blairsville.
Thanks for the great pics, Fluter - it was really nice to meet you, David Pope and SteepleChase and to see the other folks again!
**EDIT - Bill (Tartan Hiker) is between Joe (JBfromBS) and me and he's wearing his Carolina tartan, as well. It was great to see three different incarnations of the Carolina tartan!**
