[RowdyRed]

I realize there are TWO different dates being discussed for this week's Kilt Night.

I, myself, am beyond confused.

I am trying to get in contact with Tim of The Tipp; however, he will not be in till tomorrow.

Without going into specifics - there is an email The Tipp sent out for the whiskey tasting to be held , WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, that is open to everyone. Tim has offered to let the XMarkers partake of this tasting free of charge.
Although I specifically requested the 27th, a Thursday, WEDNESDAY is the day the whiskey tasting is occuring.

I will be happy to verify and post confirmation when I speak with Tim tomorrow.

I usually get a notice on that event....but haven't.

I would suspect a lot of the people that go to the picnic would be interested in XMarks, but as Clan Gunn headmaster, Royce, lives in the Fort Worth area, he doesn't promote Dallas events to his connections. ( I have asked), and I don't have his database to invite other Scots.

So, McMath, you are charged with the mission of spreading the word of XMarks in their midst. The more, the merrier!

I don't think a formal flyer for the BBQ has come out yet. In any event, the TSF&HG e-group is not a Clan Gunn site, although sometimes you wouldn't know it. They are an energetic group. I for one, am not a member of Clan Gunn, although I know and like many folks in the group, including Royce. Anyone can place whatever they want on the TSF&HG forum. I've seen Tipperary Inn notices on there before.

Right now, there's a notice about the RoughRiders baseball team celebrating their 2nd annual Tartan Night on 4/11 in Frisco (Friday!). Pregame festivities are at Lochrann's Pub. That sounds like fun!

I agree that several others over on the other site would like XMarks. I'll spread the word!

I am a bit confused as well . . .
I can be there either Wednesday OR Thursday, but I just need to know which. Post up for sure and you can count on me!

[McMathTX]

I'm not familiar with that event. Is there a link?

Where in the Ft. Worth area are you, if you don't mind me asking? Christopher and I are in Roanoke, which is north of Ft. Worth in southern Denton county. I'll try to keep a look out for anything that could make a fun kilt night/day on our side of the metroplex, as well (especially on a weekend).

Wish you could make the scotch tasting, but I do understand -- that's quite a drive on a week night. We probably can't do many week night Dallas outings like that, either.

Hi Cynthia,

Becky and I live just down Denton Hwy from you in far north Fort Worth, right on the Keller border.

I wish we could make the scotch tasting too. I have a built in designated driver as Becky doesn't like the stuff. More for me!

If you hear from Tim, Rowdy, please help me figure this thing out. I can't do Wednesday this week, but could probably make the Thursday deal for the X-Markers (if that is still on).

[Lambda]

Ah heck with it... I'll go Wednesday AND Thursday if I don't hear differently. If we do the Wednesday thing, are we supposed to rsvp with them or with you? kthxbye

[RowdyRed]

Sorry for the confusion.....did I tell ya'll my job is being cut? I have had a few other things on my mind...



THURSDAY is the day!!!!!!!!
