Tentative "Try the Heavy Events" Day

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

I'll be there with beer, knee brace and enthusiasm. Maybe I'll even lift an itsy bitsy caber. Turning it will probably be beyond me, but who knows?

Of course Jamie and I will have danced for 4 hours at the Santa Cruz class RSCDS monthly party the night before, and spent the night with his sister and brother-in-law, so I'm likely to be tired, foot-sore and hungover. This is par for the course for a Highland Athlete though isn't it?

Be well,

We would like to come; my son wants to try the highland games heavy events. I think there will be 5 of us, me my wife, son, grandson and father-in-law. What time are you planning the event? We will have to leave at 4:00 PM I have to get home & go to bed so I can get up at 1:45 AM and go to work.

Alan, will you be at the Modesto Games?

If I have a map to the "killing field" at Stanford, I guess this would be the time to try my hand at tossing sticks and stones and breaking bones without too-public embarrassment - and under the watchful supervision of a practicing veterinarian in case of accidental... uhn... you know... sore muscles, torn ligaments, fractured skeletal components, herniations, etc.

I really wanted to do this, but we will be out of town for a wedding on the 6th, and then the 7th is my birthday.

I hope you guys have a blast and will do this again so that I'll get a chance.

Won't be at Modesto, I didn't get an invitation to throw and that one's by invite, only. I hear that the field is small and they can only accomodate 25 or so athletes. In fact, I cooked this up as something to do INSTEAD of the Modesto Games!

come on out and grunt!

Did I hear this is a 'Killing Field'??

Hmm, do I need to bring my archers and foot soldiers?

No, but a video camera would be good. Anybody bringing video? My little digicamera will do about an hour 640 x 480 video.

We will bring ours. Its kind of old so im not sure how long the battery will last, but we will see what we can do to figure it out!

[Panache]

It looks as if The F-H.C.A.G. and wee Xena will be there at 1:00

Sinbad and I will try to come up a couple hours later after a birthday party

Cheers

Awesome, this is turning out to be a well attended event! (and think, Alan was worried that there would not be much interest) I am looking forward to Sunday!
