2007 Pleasanton Highland Games Pictures!

[way2fractious]

I only took a couple pics at the Pleasanton Games. The first is from behind the stage where Albanach was playing. Can you spot Panache in his bonnet? and Monkey@Arms on Panache's left? Look just above the drum.



Saturday night a group of Nor-Cal Rabble invaded and terrorized a very fine, upscale establishment for dinner. After we left (no, we weren't asked to leave) an innocent bystander (at least she looked innocent) was pressed into duty as photographer.



Next month, different games...

What better way to start the Pleasanton Games Saturday Morning than by listening to the Wicked Tinkers!





Aaron Shaw of the Wicked Tinkers looking natty in his Isle of Skye (as usual)

Dancing Mcleods









More to come (lots more to come!

I get it, instead of "Where's Waldo?" we can play "Pinpoint Panache"

The boy and I had a great day at the games, on Saturday. Glad we had a chance to visit, albeit briefly.

Best regards,

Jake

Jay Atwood of the Wicked Tinkers wearing the "Spirit of Scotland" tartan (he was a very nice fellow to meet)






Oh yes, more to come!

This gentleman, I believe his name was Scot, was spotted by Alan H. Alan walked up to him and remarked "That's a Matt Newsome kilt isn't it?"
Alan offered the hospitality of the MacNaughton tent and introduced this good fellow to the assembled Rabble.





Many of the Nor Cal Kilties looked forward to seeing Albannach who put on a good show. The Wicked Tinkers and Albannach shared the same stage which would have made this spot ground zero for Celtic Tribal Music at the Highland Games. Aaron Shaw summed it up "Albannach, The Wicked Tinkers, a nearby beer booth, shade, and a lunch break. You don't need to go anywhere else!"

Jacqui, Donnie, and Kyle of Albannach



Jacqui's a' capella solo (somewhere East, Mike1's heart is going all a flutter )



More to come? Silly question!

[Panache]

After the games on Saturday a number of us all went out to a lovely dinner at the elegant Cafe Esin.







Sinbad and wee Xena were a tad tuckered out





Enough pictures? No way! There was more fun to be had on Sunday...

[Mike1]

I'm just trying to figure out how you managed to get Jacquie into that much sun!!! And no sunglasses, either?

She's a sweetie, through and through.

Wow those are some great pictures...(so far.. ) What tartan is the guy next to Alan wearing? I definitely like how the box pleats turned out on that one.
