Greetings from the Rogue River valley, 250 miles (or thereabouts) to your south.

Are you a football (soccer) fan by chance? If so, the University of Portland (my alma matter) has a wonderful ladies soccer team. Plus, there is a contingent of kilt wearing supporters who show up at the matches. Okay, most are residents of one particular dormitory, but still....

Anyway, I usually get up that way for a game in October, and a bike ride or three throughout the year. So there is the potential for a Portland kilt night if we get enough together at the same time.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. Robert, you have a Beautiful family and I absolutely love your shoulder bag! Where did you find that marvelous bit of kit?
I do indeed plan on attending the Kelso festival on the 10th & 11th and would also very much enjoy a Portland kilt night sometime (put me on the list), I saw one recently this year at an indoor miniature golf course here in Portland and thought it a splendid and fun (if slightly bizarre looking in the black lights) idea.
Yes, it was rather hot here, but thing's will return to there natural rainy overcast state here very soon I hope. MacTarnahan's Brewery is an excellent establishment, if any of you by chance get the opportunity I also highly recommend The Thistle and Rose Pub here in Portland and the Highland Stillhouse in Oregon City, great spirit's and traditional Scottish food (or as close as we seem able to come here in the states). Again thank you all for the very warm welcome!
