Looking like I should be attending Saturdays events with my wife and my boy

May be in black watch lightweight if I can't finish sewing my project kilt, and either a white t-shirt, or polo.

Keep an eye out for the Lego bagpiper kilt pin!

As it looks right now I will be making it Saturday. I will be in my macfie tarten. Dragging a real pregnant wife behind me. This baby wanted to make sure I made it. Look forward to meeting everyone. And as a bonus I get a sober driver to get me home.

Pack a parasol for the lady…it can get pretty warm out there and when Mrs. Argonian was carrying our first, it was that summer of 1988….which was pretty steamy and keeping her cool was a high priority.

Texting is probably the best way to reach me during the games.

Glad to hear you'll be there, Mark. See you tomorrow!

Per Michael, the Scottish Geneology Group Tent is the official (Saturday) X Markers meeting place at 1:00. Be There, Aloha.

I plan to arrive around 11:00. Irish National tartan kilt, black polo shirt with white rampant lion on the chest....and maybe a White Sox cap.

All, The Scottish Geneology Group Tent is NOT near the SCD stage. They've changed the layout a little bit this year. It is near the clan tents close to the food vendors. There are signs nearby.

Wife went into labor early thismorning. At some point today I will be a father. I was thinking she could wait until tmw. At least I know where all of her birthdays will be. Have a great time. And let's set up a kilt night soon. I really want to hang with the great Chicagoland rabble.

It was great to meet you all in person! I spotted another bloke by the clan tents in the R'lyeh tartan, but I can't recall his name. I wish I could have stayed longer, but the weather was pretty oppressive. Glad I could take my newly bagged spam out for a walk though.
