A December Kilt Night for NYC?

[Cirthalion]

I'll probably be there, perhaps with my wife.

Perhaps I'll wear my saffron, too. Or at least one of my other kilts, since you think my maple leaf is getting too much air time!

I am afraid I will not be in attendance on the 8th. I have a large holiday party booked on that night.

Oh man, I've been promising my family I'd visit them up in NYC. Maybe I'll have to schedule a little pre-christmas trip and get in on this kilt night.

I certainly hope you get to visit. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend.

Btw, how are people able to quote separate postings on here?

Click the "+ button, which is directly to the right of the Quote button, for all the posts you want to include. Then hit the Quote button on the last one.

Oh, no! Now there's another option: An all saffron (or as many as have one) meet!

Do you think that people will think that we're a pipe band then?

Chef, sorry that you won't be able to join us for this one too. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and don't get too overworked. Maybe next year?

Oh, I know I'll be overworked but now is the time to make money in my business.

I'll be able to come in January as long as it's not too close to Burn's night. I do too many Addresses around that time.

Depending on what happens on the 30th I might be there though.

December 8 sounds great, and I plan to come.

[Galician]

OK, so far it seems the attendence for this event is up to about ten, if I'm counting correctly. We are:

Dalmore
Bonnie Heather
Cirthalion & consort
Kieith A with family and 2(?) friends
yours truly

If this number holds, we'll definitely need to make reservations next week before the day of the gathering. Please let me know if I've misunderstood anything.

Anybody else interested in joining us?

I'd love to meet everyone at the December Kilt Night, but the place chosen, Stout NYC - which is directly across from Madison Square Garden - tends to get packed on an average day, and I'm afraid it's going to be MOBBED that Saturday. Here's why:
Turns out that on December 8th, there will be not one - but two major events at the Garden, with our Kilt Night sandwiched in between both.
First, there's a womens' basketball double-header at noon, followed by the Knicks-Philadelphia game at 7:30. The spillover from one Garden event alone makes for a tight squeeze at Stout, but with a double crowd...whoa!
So I think I'm going to pass on this one, but I'd like to attend the St. Andrews' event this Friday, the 30th, at West 44th St. So unless something unforseen pops up between now and then, I'm pretty sure I'll be there.

I understand. Two events? Wow! This is a constant issue with this location, but it was chosen precisely for that central location, since people are coming from three different directions outside the city.

Maybe when we get a really city-based group of kilters, other options will work.

Btw, are any of the people coming up to do some Christmas sightseeing, say along 5th Avenue, heading up to Rockefeller Center and seeing the tree, or something similar? I have an image of how the pic of a kilted gang in front of it might look.

The last count (as of a week ago) was for eight. Should we count you in? Anybody else? TwoFin and hubby?

I am also proposing a kilted stroll up Fifth Avenue after dinner, if the weather allows. How many would be interested in this?
