That's great Meinfs. Sorry you won't be making it, I look forward to getting together at another event. A DC/MD/VA kilt night would be great. Perhaps we could form a group that meets regularly say every month or two, selecting different locations around the area to meet.

I'm always looking for a decent restaurants and this would be a good way to check out some that I might night just go out and try or haven't heard of before.

Put me on your list for future contacts.

I heard about this on NPR.
Unfortunately, I'm saving all my pennies (and dollars) for my trip Home this summer

Heard, today on the WTOP radio news station advertising the event if you call give the promotion code 'chieftains30' and get a 30% discount on your tickets.

**M_Beorn** · 7th March 09, 05:47 AM

30% ??!! That would have been nice to know. It could be that it applies to a third party seller. If you go on-line and look around, som tickets are going for double the face value. I ended up going directly to the Kennedy Center for mine and still ended up calling them t find out which seats were available. I ended up going with a box seat. Never had one before, so I thought what an interesting way to see the Cheiftains. I'll let you know if it was worth the price.

I went to the Verizon Center around Christmas to see TSO and had a floor seat up near the stage (about ten rows back) that cost about the same per ticket. That was a great concert, but I was a bit bummed as I had two tickets and couldn't get anyone to go with me.

My wife is still deciding if she can go. I hope to be there and will get my ticket(s) when she decides. The 30% off is obtained by calling the Washington Performing Arts Society, the number listed on the ad Mein posted. I listen to WTOP constantly and Friday was the first time I heard the advert.

Tell her to get off the Blarney Stone (LOL). I'm sure it will be a great concert. Hope to see you both there!

Here in Fredericksburg is our Blarney Stone!

Yum, sounds good! Next time I'm down in that area, I'll have to try and remember to stop by for a bite and a pint!

I'm still looking for a great Irish pub in DC. I've found a few good ones, but I'm still looking for the great one to call home away from home.
