Northern California Burns' Night -For those Wishing to Attend

**Alan H** · 28th November 07, 02:28 PM

I will be attending, and it's reasonably likely that the Luminous Joan will also, but more to come on that, later.

Kathy and husband, Lisa and husband (the band) will be attending (4 adults)
I will pay the band
I will cook and bring the haggis

By request of my spouse I will be bowing out of other responsibilities.

Greetings and halucinations! Myself and Debra will both be there. We plan on bringing at least two bottles of whiskey (including what's left of "everyone's favorite" from last year (hey, I liked it) and *maybe* a dish... like colcannon (yeah, it's Irish... ) or a gratin. Food Network can be a dangerous thing... anywho I am sure I can figure it out by December Beer Friday.

I'm in for sure, and it looks like Cynthia and the two clever little monkeys are good-to-go, too.

We'll sign-up for side dishes and bring Whisky, Hard Apple Cider and kid's drinks.

Happy to recite something shorter than Tam O' Shanter.

Best regards,

Jake

What better setting for a photo shoot than with a bunch of kilted men in the redwoods!?

Be well,

Bless you, F-H.B-T.C.A.G., for looking out for kilted men everywhere...

. . . Back to the guest list . . .

I will be there with a wonderful lady (from Clan MacLaren, wouldn't you know?) who accepted my offer to escort her for the evening. If her toes survive any of my so-called dancing, perhaps she will join in the redwood ramble the following day, as well.

Any readings are fine with me. Oration from notes, O.K. But any assignments requiring functioning memory brain circuits will be disappointed.

Would a delicious "limey" dessert be in order? (Helps prevent scurvy, eh?)
