The Gathering Of Kilts
This thread is for the planning and scheduling of the (still working out the name of the gathering.)
The Gathering Of Kilts is the best I've come up with so far. (I like the Highlander connotation.)
We're planning it for summer 2005. Dates to be announced.
As this will be a massive undertaking, I will be needing ideas and help from you guys but I reserve all final decisions for myself. It's the only way to make sure I get the gathering to be as good as I know it can be.
This will not be a MSM kind of thing. It will be more like the scale of the New York event of a little while ago. I have designs in my head for several kilts and kilt suits that will be on the runway. I'm going to source some fabrics I want to try for kilts and if they work, put some of those on the runway, too.
There will be two basic events. The first is an expensive, posh, kilt fashion show/auction/gala reception that will, with proper planning, be attended by celebrities, sports figures, politicians, etc.
The second event is a barbeque/picnic in one of Vancouver's many beautiful parks.
I'm leaning towards Queen Elizabeth Park, (commonly called Little Mountain). It's the highest point in Vancouver proper and I must show Hamish the Gardens. Once a rock quarry, the deep crater inside the top of the hill is now one of the most beautiful garden settings imaginable. On the outside of the crater, there is ample space for picnicking, a frisbee golf course, (tournament?), soccer. There's even a pitch and putt golf course. (Tournament?)
I plan to advertise on all the local TV talk shows, (mini-fashion shows), as well as print media, etc. I may need some of you guys to be kilt models.
I have a few connections with media consultants I'll be using to full advantage.
Let me know what you think.
