Palm Springs Kilt Night with Hamish! Saturday April 4th

[walkerk]

Hey CT! Was any of the reported resurgence of Spring Break festivities apparent during your recon?

As for "American" food choices for Hamish, Palm Springs is the sole California location of an "Elmer's Restaurant" (http://elmers-restaurants.com). It's menu even has an "Honored Guests" (i.e., senior discount) section. The only place with more 'mericun food would be a truck stop.

Did not see any Spring Breakage despite the city texting invites to over a million SoCal kiddies (approximate number), might be a bit early in the season for an infestation though.


CT - Rum Runner wants a kilt but doesn't like the Robins tartan all that much.

To everyone gathering in Palm Springs Saturday: I reserved a room for the group at Lyon's English Pub and Grille, but that's all. I didn't want to make any special requests such as menu items, etc. because I can't speak for the group. I told the person who took the reservation that as far as I know, the evening would consist mostly of meeting, socializing and drinking and whoever wanted to eat there could, but not as a group "sit-down" dinner. Some may want to migrate to other places for a meal later that evening. I hope that is alright with everyone.
I'm looking forward to this occasion and meeting all of you. See you in a few days!

I just wanted to bump this thread back up to the top to remind everyone of what is turning into a massive Kilt Night with Hamish.

The main event is Saturday, 4 April 2009
6:00pm
at Lyon's English Grill
233 E. Palm Canyon Dr.
Palm Springs, CA 92262
(760)327-1551

We have a room reserved. Just ask at the door or look for the guys in Kilts with the lovely ladies hanging off them.

On Friday evening beginning at around 6:30 - Panache, & The F-HCAG will hold court poolside at;

Cathedral City Travelodge
67-495 Highway 111
Golf Club Drive & Eagle Canyon Way
Cathedral City, CA
USA 92234

Phone: 760-328-2616

If you can join us we are hoping to give the rabble a chance for an informal meet & greet


Because a Kilt Night usually turns out to be noisy, hectic and event filled, we are hoping to give everyone a quiet evening to chat casually and get to know each other.

Saturday during the day, Bob and I tentatively plan to go up the aerial tramway and have a light lunch at the top -- menu appears to have improved tremendously since my last visit. It's a great trip if you don't mind heights

Saturday morning I'll be recuperating from "big kids night" somewhat west of where y'all are but I'll cruise down in the afternoon for THE EVENT.


CT - it's all about noise

Rabble and rabblettes,

This weekends Kilt Night with Hamish is quickly becoming what may become the greatest and best Kilt Night in the history of X Marks.

I hope that no one is upset that I seem to have become the single point of contact for everyone to rally around.
I have been to about 20 Kilt Nights and sometimes they have failed or fallen short of great because no one would step forward and simply give out their cell phone no. so everyone could find out where to go when they hit town.
Well, I could not let this chance go by and be remembered as the Kilt Night that could have been.

As everyone arrives in Palm Springs you can either head for the Travelodge in Cathederal City to meet up with us on Friday evening and Saturday morning, or simply give me a ring and I'll let you know where we are.

As Saturday night approaches we will all of course be meeting at Lyons English Pub so come straight there.

If anyone gets stuck somewhere or needs transport from a hotel I'm sure we will be able to find some way to help out.

Let's make this the biggest and best Kilt Night this great forum has ever seen.
If you have never had a chance to meet The Kilted Legend himself do not let this opportunity pass. He is truly a Gentleman and inspiration to us all.

So to help make it happen here again is my Cell Phone Number.
