Kilt Night + Burns Night

[Mael Coluim]

It was a great evening! They were a fun group, even though scarce on the kilt! I was really pleased we could attend and be seated for the dinner.

Before, our wait list was confirmed for a seating, I sat at the bar waitng for you other guys and got in to a conversaton with an 'older couple' there, too. The fellow said he had been a regular for over twenty years! He had lost his wife a year, ago and the lass with him was in his support group. She had been a regular of eight years! It was interesting learning of their insights.

The son, Ian Morrison had taken over from his parents. Ian growing up at the Pub, had gone to culinary school and now was applying his trade at the Pub. I think his new approach to the Burns Dinner showed. The Haggis is one of the spiciest, I've ever had. The smoked salmon on a bed of kale was to die for. The wait staff were very obliging.

It was great meeting and gettng to know John, SVCT. Of course, Mein you are almost my brother now as we have lifted quite a few these last few weeks, celebrating the Bard's 250th!

A great time, indeed!

I also had a great time. It was my first Burns Night, apparently not the standard event, but a good time. I will definately be attending Burns Nights in the future. It was good to meet Mael and Mein. Hope to see you both at future DC area kilt nights and other events.
