Just thought that I'd toss in the post script on this get together...
...as you all know, it's a red letter date when you can get any more than two Chicago kilties together but the Duke of Perth was graced by no fewer than four Xmarksers this past Saturday afternoon. Once again McFarkus sallied forth to sample some of the Duke's not inconsiderable selection of Malts and this time he was accompanied by Turpin, Jenni (GSArcher) and Sam.
It was really nice to see McF and "That Thorfinn Guy" again and great to get to meet Jenni and Sam. I was busy working on the beer menu while McFarkus and Turpin sampled some of the Malts and the Ghillie's Meatloaf. I think that Jenni and Sam tried some of the 'tater appetizers. I settled for a burger.
Anyway, good conversation and a few of the locals looking and trying to figure out "what was up with the kilts?'....though nobody (to my observation, anyway) asked out loud. (What did they expect in the Duke of Perth? Fustinellas?)
Anyway, good to see all of you...hope to have the pleasure again at ISAS Highland Games on the weekend of June 20-21 (shameless bump/plug).
Best

ps: do you not think, though, that that Ghillies Meatloaf, as tasty as it is, would benefit from having less of a dense texture?
