    Hmmm. Two Burns suppers?

    Sounds about right to me.

    And--this should help sell the deal--you'll have a whole week to recuperate. After an entire week, you'll probably be in need of another fix.

    I just ordered a copy of the dvd myself. I am really looking forward to im proving my imitation Scottish brogue.

    When I used to travel to Scotland, my friends advised that it wasn't too bad, but I always suspected they were being nice.

    Well, now, let's think this over.

    If the 20th in IN for everybody, and the 27th is OUT for everybody, we'll just do it on the 20th. We've got a whole month to work out the details.

    I'll bet there is more than one place who will let us come in to spend our money for a Burns supper. In fact, I know another very nice place a half block away owned by a very nice Irish lady who'd be glad of the business. It's a little snazzier place, but they'll let us if the pub won't! This is our supper and it's our money.

    How 'bout it, Splash and SouthernScot and the rest of you guys? Is the 27th out for everybody?

    I'm good for the 20th. I just looked and found that the 27th I was working so I wouldn't have been able to make it that day anyway but the 20th I'm good !!

    I definitely wouldn't ask you guys to move the date on my account, but if the 20th turns out to be a better date for everyone, it works better for me. As for my excuse for the 27th.... its my daughter's birthday and I wouldn't miss it for a Burns supper in the highlands... sorry lads. Keep me posted on the details, and if I miss this one, there will be others. We should make this a regular thing.

    Merry Chirstmas to all of you.

    My wife and I can make either date. Just disappointed that one of the rabble can't make it.

    I'm pretty open on dates. Another suggestion of location could be Paddy's Irish Pub on the grounds of Chateau Elan. It's along the Hwy 85 corridor so it may be easier for out of town folks to make it as well.

    Guys any of the days is good for me. As far as the 85 coridor is concerned its not a problem for me I'm staying the night anyway. I'm just looking forward to coming. I just orderd a USAK in Dress Mackenzie specificly for this outing. Ain't kilting and the kilt addiction great int:

    If any help is needed I will be glad to help. This will be my first Burns Supper so I may need more help than I'll beable to provide. But I'll try.

    Don't feel alone. This will be my first one as well. And I am ready to jump in with both feet. As long as I don't have to fake a brogue, I barely speak english!
