Burns' Day, Edmonton

[CMcG]

I'm glad the night turned out better than expected. Might I ask which pub you patronized? And what the kilted turn-out was like? Pictures?

No pictures, I fear ... but it did happen - I have witnesses! We went to O'Byrnes', on Whyte, close to home (as well as to where my daughter works, as you know). They apparently do a Robbie Burns celebration every year, but don't really advertise it. Free haggis with neeps and tatties for anyone in the pub who asks, with relatively cheap Guinness - it is an Irish pub - to wash it down.

Leaving aside from the two pipers, one server, and the guy who did the recitation, I saw four other men in kilts - one ultilikilt, two tanks worn with t-shirt or sweater, one tank with worn PC on someone notably older and drunker than I. The place was pretty full, so I might have missed one or two...
