2009 Stone Mountain Highland Games

Jim,
We do have a few more days ta get the word out, so maybe we can get a few more ta show, any hoo, we will have a grand time regardless of the number!

If Turpin shows up, we may have to hire extra security.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!

It is rainy and nasty and generally unpleasant in the Atlanta area just now. Maybe I should say, "still rainy and nasty . . ." since we've been flooded--literally--since Sept. 21. We even have FEMA in doing some of whatever they do.

But . . . it's really looking up for the Games this weekend. The Weather Channel predicts the following:

Friday: high of 61
Sat: high of 58
Sun: high of 61


And there'll be no rain and the sun will shine, at least most of the time! Now that's perfect weather for the Games. Any warmer, and it starts to get hot out there.

Y'all come. It's gonna be great. On Friday evening as we gather at the Celtic, it'll be cool and sunny, just right for standing in the street and telling lies.

Better bring your sweaters since it'll be about 40 come Staurday morning.

Jim that's the best news you could of laid on these ol ears/eyes this day. As you have heard me mention, we have been having record heat down here, in the high 90*'s and so I have been spending a lot of time indoors. I can't wait to be head'in up the road.
That temp. will be feel'in just grand ta me and I do mean "GRAND".I just may be tempted ta go "Regimental" ta the max, if it feels that good, which I'm sure it will
I was watching that rain pass thru and hoped it would be gone by the week-end. Good news for all. See ya soon Laddie!

That weather is going to be spot on! And I'm hoping that, due to all the rain we've been getting recently, the dust will be less prevalent than usual.

... washing a kilt after the Stone Mountain games looks like you're trying to make tea in the bath tub.

I might be able to make it there with my son before the sponsors' reception.

My wife and I are planning to be at the reception.

Any of the other conveners planning to attend?

Hey, this is starting to look like a real party. I even talked the grandson's mother (you know, that lady who delivers him to our waiting arms) into bringing him up dressed in his kilt and new fur sporran I got him. It's a real honey, and he makes it look pretty good.

Here's hoping a few more guys show up. I'll pass the word to Greg (ther new owner) that we're taking over.

My brother and I will be arriving at the campground sometime Friday afternoon. I'll let him know about this meet up and see if we can make it. If not I hope to meet many of you on Saturday!

EDIT: Is anyone else staying in the campground that night going to this meetup? We're taking my brothers car and he doesn't want to drive so if anyone wants to carpool I'm willing to kick in something for gas or a round, etc.

Jim,

We are trying to get our schedule arranged so we can be with you guys on Friday night, so save a place for two more.

And possibly one more from this direction

Jim, i do hope you have given plenty warning to the staff, it looks as though our numbers are growing more and more with each post. , let's just keep this thing going for one more day.
