I thought I looked like I was enjoying myself Ham.

This was my first Burns supper so I didn't know what to expect. Will say it wa very interesting even the parts in a "foreign" language. In the end I found it as a chance for friends to gather and raise a glass in honour of a man in history.

Okay, my pictures have been shrunk and uploaded.

John (Scoutniagara) warming up before (and dealing with the drones that wanted to cut out):

John, they sounded fine during the piping in and out of the haggis.

Some small, pre-Supper talk while waiting on the haggis:

Gentlemen, please take your seats:

Not a lass in sight? *blink*

Overawed by all that testosterone, I'd expect....

Looks like a *great* night!

Another picture of the piping out of the haggis:

Grant not being miserable (again, my apologies, Reverend Kev) (and I'll extend Grant's apologies again, too):

The requested picture of Glen delivering the Immortal Memory:

The rest of my photos are similar to what's already up.
It was a good meal, in good company. We were short our Lassies, due to a couple different family emergencies, which I hope turn out for the best.
I'ld like to thank Rev Kev again, for the use of the Scottish Rite for the first annual SOKS Burns Supper, and the Rev. Capt. Donald Glennie for Addressing the Haggis and providing part of the musical entertainment for the evening.
John, thank you for the piping, singing and guitar; and Sam, for singing also. It was the three of you that Bruce the bartender was complimenting - the rest of us were just background singers.

So, what night did we agree on for next year?

Wow!! What a lovely setting for a Burns supper. I wish my job was not so busy this time of year; I would love to make the next one!! Gentleman you all looked smashing (except the guy in the wanker shirt, who let him in!!

)Thanks for the pics,
