I am in Sedro Woolley right now. Make it up to B-ham a couple of times a week normally.

Always happy to have an excuse to go kilted. Not sure what the schedule will allow, but let me know. My roommate also enjoys going kilted so I can probably talk him into going as well.

My boss is Leatherneck and I can't get him to wear the U.S. Marine tartan tie that I got him at San Antonio one year. But, I'm still employed.

Hey Jack,
I attended to highland games in SA more than once. Once wearing a great kilt and once or twice in a UK. Also used to hit the Austin highland games. Loved hearing Ed Miller perform. Awesome Scottish singer. To be perfectly honest I wasn't totally taken with the Leatherneck tartan the first time I saw it, but the more pictures of it I saw, the more I liked it. I know a number of active Marines who own kilts in this tartan.

Be sure to set aside the first full weekend in June and come up one day for the B'ham Games.
I'll be hosting the Clan Mackay booth

from the other corner of the country. A leader in our scout troop just moved to Olympia from here to be a state geologist. (he doesn't wear kilts though)

Well, the next time you go to the SA Games, be sure and stop by my clan tent. It's the one with 'MacIntyre' on the tent banner. I'll have some water, ale, or the water of life for you.
