    Vancouver Courier photo with Toddish in Kilt

    Hi all,

    The Vancouver Courier, a small tabloid here, printed a photo from my 2004 Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner as they promote my January 30th, Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner.

    I am wearing an Ancient Fraser tartan from Simon Fraser University. My actor friend Adrienne Wong (half Chinese/half French Canadian) is wearing a plaid pleated skirt, and Opera soprano Heather Pawsey is wearing a Chinese cheong-sam (long dress).

    Here's my link

    Here's the link to the original Courier article:

    Kind of wish that I could be there especially with a picture like that.

    Great shot

    Awesome, and the fact that I have a friend by the name of Andrea Wong makes it somewhat amusing.

    I think that is so kool.
    we are all humans, right?
    so why not wear human clothes?
    I think it's boring sticking to just one culture, when you can embrace them all.
    imagine wearing pants all the time, and eating nothin but fish n chips.
    p.s just off out for fish n chips in my kilt

    Great photo!! You could market that to personnel managers as a fine example of "diversity" that they're all into.

    I'm an advocate of kilts and all, and the one that you're wearing is really nice, but...

    That red dress is hot!

    I know "someone" that would look REAL NICE in one of those!
    Arise. Kill. Eat.

    I was thinking that exact same thing.

    This past Septmeber we went to a friends's wedding, he is Chinese and she is English. My son and I wore our kilts, and my daughter wore a red chinese dress similar to the one in the picture. Of course she was a different kind of cute in hers.

    Nice outfits on your kids Colin - Kilts and Cheong-sam - very ethnic-chic.

    Bring the kids to the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner. Kids 12 & udner early bird price is $35 but I am sure that we can stick toddlers on an extra seat.

    Bear is organizing a table to get the "Friends of Todd Wong" extended early bird rate.

    For more info on the dinner - check out www.gunghaggisfatchoy.com

    ps I'll be speaking about my 7th Generation Chinese-Canadian Family that have married lots of Scots and Brits and is only 1/4 Chinese in the 7th Gen. Check out CBC Radio One - 690 AM in Vancouver. 8am to 8:30 with Sheryl McKay on "North By Northwest."

    Cheers, Todd

    Still trying to see if we can make it. My folks are moving from Burnaby to Coquitlam the next day at 8 am, so my brother in law and I have a big day ahead of us. Still trying to find a way to include the night, and I have put the word out to kiltsnight regulars.

    Toddish, can you please give us a bit more info on the highland games going on at SFU on the 28th. I am hoping to attend that day.
