Burns Night in Conyers, Georgia

[cavscout]

I was thinking last night as I browsed several Robbie Burns sites, would it be appropriate to have a picture of Robbie Burns displayed during the dinner? Is one already being provided?

If we would like one, I may be able to print one on the Color Laser Printer here at the office.

Let me know if this is worth doing.

Please print one, Cav. I have placed one on the program, but a larger version for everyone to see--especially anyone who just wanders in--would be great.

And don't forget, anyone who has a favorite poem you'd like to read, bring it along. There's no set time for the readings; we'll do as we place and quite when we want.

Splash, if you can make it back, we'll all be the better for it. HOpe things can work out for you and the missus.

OK, here's the latest and final poop. (That's not an epithet for something nasty; it's supposed to mean the dope, the skinny, the word, the info, . . .) oop:

All who are interested can show up anytime after 4:00 for cocktails and any other mischief you can think of. Officially, cocktail hour is from 5:30 - 6:30 to give us all time for introductions, etc.

I'll be the guy in the kilt.

Price for dinner is $12.50 per head which includes a toast and non-alcoholic drinks. (Water, tea, coffee, etc.) You can feel free to purchase what you like from the bar, and it's well-stocked as a rule. (If Kristen is there, she makes a killer black-and-tan, and she's pretty, too.)

We'll serve soup at 6:30 and pipe in the haggis around 7:00. the festivities will end when we decide they're over, but if you have baby sitters with whom you must be concerned, rest assured we can have most of the formal festivities over by 8:30 for the travelers. Reiving, raids, and mischief will continue as we see fit.

There will be a band or kareoke or something from around 9:00 until closing, so you need not rush off. (See the last paragraph. No mutton slininging inside, please.)

If you plan to spend the evening, the motels are close by. (See previous posts in this thread for info. on that.)

Call the Celtic Tavern to make your reservation (770-785-7001).
918 Commercial Street
Conyers, Georgia 30012

I have your PMs, but I'd like for Holly to hear from you so she can make seating plans.

The best way is to take the West Ave. exit from I-20, right on Green St. to the first crossing. Then turn right by the old depot and come around the block to Commercial Street. (Commercial is only about a block long, and it's one-way.) You can park on Commercial if there's a place, if not, just recircle the block and park on the railroad track side. There's a little walk-through alley to get you back.

PM of post if you have any questions.

And don't forget to bring any poems or other stuff you plan to share.

Ok so she's easy on the eyes, looks like a good place, too bad I'm all the way up in Canada, I would love to make it. I hope you all have a great time.

[thescot]

Oh, it's gonna happen all righty.

Just don the kilt and come on. Last one there is a rotten haggis.

[thescot]

Good deal, Grinder. You comin' stag or drag? (Trying to get a feel for the numbers, you know.)

Also, let me remind everyone to please call Holly at the Tavern to make your reservation so she'll have a count, too.

I think she's planning to have shepherd's pie and corned beef and cabbage for the faint of heart (sissies). She and I are working on the haggis Saturday.
