    Sounds fun and I plan on being there. Jack Quinn's is just a few blocks from the brewery where I work. They buy the Scottish Ale we brew. Order a "Laughing Lab Scottish Ale" and know that a fellow kilted brother had a hand in it.

    Anyhow, I'm a bit confused. Nighthawk mentioned Friday, March 11 as the date. Duncan noted (correctly) that the parade is Saturday March 12. So, are you wanting to get together the evening before the parade (Friday night) or in the afternoon after the parade (Saturday)? If it is "after", what time do you think? Perhaps evening when the beer flows a bit more freely?

    Looking forward to meeting you guys. From pictures posted on the forums, Nighthawk should be pretty easy to pick out of a crowd... He's the 7 foot tall, 3 feet wide Scot with the flowing hair of a celtic god, wearing a beautiful kilt and a huge highland smile. I think I'll be disapointed if he doesn't walk slightly floating above the ground and speak with a thick brogue.

    Jack Quinn's is probably the worst place to meet up during or after the parade. It's packed inside and out for obvious reasons.
    Here is a link to the parade map. csstpats.com.
    The parade begins at St Vrain and Tejon. Down the street is Tony's which is usually less crowded. If you want to meet up before the parade starts, that is the place. If you want to meet up after the parade McCabe's is down at the finish of the parade route. Let me know what you decide.
    Kilt4beer, sorry I didn't make it to Bristol Brewing a couple of weeks ago. I was still very under the weather that weekend.

    I agree with duncan, jack quinn's will be a cluster hump. Mccabe's will be a bit less so.

    hmm, let me see:
    7 ft tall -not the last time I saw him
    3 ft wide -maybe
    flowing hair -again not lately [he got jealous of us folically challenged individuals and cut his hair ]
    beautiful kilt -sometimes [my eyes still twitch when I think of the Marpat vest ]
    Huge smile -check
    float above the ground -check
    brogue -not unless he fakes it

    How are you on 2 out of 9 points of recognition?

    You guys have fun, I have to go to the Springs this weekend so I doubt that I will make it again next weekend, plus I have a friend/ collegue shaving HER head for St. B at Fodo's on the 11th.

    Oh dear gods, you got me confused with my buddy Joe! He's the 7 foot tall Celtic god... I'm the 5'9 dwarf...



    I'm wide with a red goatee. But I do have a beautiful double box pleated kilt in MacLeod of the isles tartan!

    That's one of the funniest things I've ever read!! Truth is the best comedy...

    As to the day of the meetup- I'm good with Friday evening. I have to go to the clusterhump, though, since the Renaissance Scots are going. We're obligated to some event or other there. That's why I suggested it- I'm gonna be there regardless. So Friday night actually sounds like more fun.

    Sweet, Friday night it is! ....I feel like a high school kid in the parking lot of a movie theatre, "whadda you wanna do?" "I don't know, whadda you wanna do?" "I don't know, whadda you wanna do?"

    ok, so Friday night 7:00'ish at McCabe's.

    And Nighthawk... Looking forward to seeing you in person.

    I doubt Joyce and I will make it. Her head is usually zinging her fairly bad about that time of night (Postherpetic neuralgia from shingles)

    My schedule is terribly tight, but perhaps it may allow me to sneak away sooner.

    There are times when that conformist attitude of mine has to give way. And Burns Night last year... I dressed the way I did to screw with you!

    So is this the right place?
