Northern California Burns' Night -For those Wishing to Attend

**Monkey@Arms** · 12th December 07, 04:26 PM

Jamie, it's quite clear after last year that only one person among us can do the Address justice, and that person sir is you.

I'll have to think about whether I'm up to the task of the Toast to the Ladies.

Of course if you want to write me a nifty poem like the one you wrote for the F.H.A.C.G.'s response last year, I'd be honored to recite it.

Best regards,

Jake

A short seven-mile drive to Ben Lomond (just past the highland games venue; really pretty in the daylight hours!) is a much cheaper Econolodge - $72 and up at internet user rates (who're the Scots here?)

Also, I will be happy to deliver some form of The Immortal Memory at the Supper.

w2f, you are down for the Immortal Memory

Jake, You get to toast the lassies. I'll see if I can either find or come up with something

The F-H.C.A.G. will provide a kind and gentle (for her) Lassies response as well as another poem for the scotch Tasting

I will repeat the Address of the Haggis unless someone else would really rather do it.

There are many other Burns' poems out there if anyone is interested in reciting.

Cheers

Jamie

Grant,

You shall gather the SOKS for a Burns Night Supper, you will wear your best kilted finery, and you shall raise your glass for a toast in honor of your fellow X Markers gathered this same evening all over the globe.

And most importantly...

YOU WILL LEAVE THE RUBBER CHICKEN AT HOME!!!!!
