    Looks like a fantastic place! And thanks for the Star Trek tit bit! Really interesting to find out.

    Yep, that's my Welsh flag shirt. I really like dragons and my 16th GGrandmother was Welsh born in 1493. I like to wear the shirt w/ my Clarke because of the little bit of red and my red flashes. I've got an Irish flag one too, but it doesn't match many things well. O'Neille

    Did you make the Irish Festival gig today?

    It is a very busy tartan isn't it. I'd bet it would be a little less busy in a larger set, about 18oz would be nice. We didn't make it to the Phoenix Irish Fest because we didn't leave the Biltmore until the afternoon. I decided it would be too rushed to try to cram a couple hours in. Especially when we have Tucson next weekend. O'Neille

    I really enjoyed the pictures. While the Star Trek trivia is fun, I was fascinated by the architecture itself. FLW designs are awsome and inspiring. They stand the test of time because they are functional as well as beautiful. So many of the buildings built today seem to be little more than a subset of design cliches.

    Thanx for posting those!

    I am completely amazed at how artistic Wright was in his design. Set the design as a backdrop of a Kilted gent, and all I have to say is AWESOME!
