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.
