Hear, here! As I said in a PM, I think that events like this fulfil the same need that fairs did in medieval times... and if the vendors aren't there, that's half the fun gone!

I'd be the one with the compass rose over my heart. Yes, yes, I know... sailors.

Hum...... what could we all do to our 'xmarkness' noticeable to other Xmarkers that attend the games in Flag in July?

Well, if they do that next run of kilt pins they were talking about, before then....

At Grandfather Mountain Games we are going to wear a piece of red ribbon behind the kilt pin so we can be recognized by other X Markers.

My chest piece still needs some work. So, me topless (aside from the pastey white skin and gut) is naye a pretty site.

Wish I could be there this year. We really enjoyed that last year as it was actually our first Highland games.

**Mr. MacDougall** · 17th July 07, 11:15 AM

I'll most likely be wearing my Navy tartan kilt, and my USS Papago ball cap.

**Scratchy's Lass** · 19th July 07, 10:14 PM

Lemme see if I tallied this right:

Ayin McFye - maybe, but may be at SCA Highland War

Mr. MacDougall - Navy tartan kilt, and my USS Papago ball cap, compass rose over his heart

drobin -darren

Retro Red - coming up for Friday pm whisky tasting in town, plus both Game days.

Riverkilt-Ron & His Lady coming in Sat, layover and return home Sun

pbperrsson-Phil - maybe

Ialtog - volunteer for the event, see NACHS tent, Plants/Geology tent, and wkshops. Look for volunteer lanyard and Ulster box-pleated kilt.

And I have a question: last year there was (also?) a whiskey tasting located at the back of the largest entertainment 'tent'/stage. I saw in the initial info for THIS year, there is whiskey tasting event IN town. Does this mean they will NOT be offering it at the actual games site this year (and that it's being held in town instead, and only on Friday night)?

I'll be limping up in the stupid Esquirt somewhere around 3am 'tonight' (meaning Friday pre-sunrise). Hopefully I can get out of here tonight in time to make it to Scratchy's (Jay) before he leaves for work Fri morning.

There will be an official tasting, which will be taking place in the dining tent. I *think* the times are 1pm and 3pm on Saturday only. There will be a charge for that. Also, like usual, we will have our "Spirits of the Celtic Regions" on sale at the Celtic Tavern tent as well.

No, I'll be wearing my USS Papago ball cap. I don't know where you keep yours. ;)

And every time someone says something that came out of a thread I've long forgotten, it surprises me that anyone's paying that much attention... and I'm not actually planning on showing anyone my tattoo, so it's not much good as an identifier. 8)

Finally had some time to get organized. Gonna wear my Macdonald Lord of the Isles since its the lightest hand sewn I own.

But no kilt hose, no sweaters...just Tevas and a rivershirt and probably my big buffalo sporran.

Probably should switch to an X Marks kilt pin...but just look for the olde fat guy in long hair. Not sure if my lady will be with me yet...but if she is there'll be a lot of RED hair near me.
