Philly... USAK and Freedom Kilts

[RockyR]

At long last, the planets have aligned and Philadelphia will take it's rightful place in kilt history. Astrologers have not yet determined when this once in a lifetime phenomenon will occur exactly, but they are pretty certain it will be in the first full week of June, 2005.

What the hell am I babbling about now you ask? Steve from Freedom Kilts is coming out to Philly and Kelly and I are setting up a kilt night to welcome him! Since he's driving out here (don't ask me why someone would drive across a CONTINENT just to see ME... Ok... he's coming to see Kelly), he's not sure of the EXACT date yet, but we figured that we owe him a huge Kilt Night when he gets here. He'll have the award for the person that's driven FARTHEST to get to a kilt night!

Please either post on this thread so that I can update you all when I find out more details or just call the shop and ask me if I've gotten any more info. Our number is 610.650.8725. We're going to TRY and find a venue where a celtic band is playing, but if he comes on a Wed, it may just be a sit down dinner at an Irish Pub.

See you there!

Count me in!

Well Inaki will only have that title for a week or so I guess. *shrug*

I'm interested. Please do post when you know more.

I'll prolly see you & Kelly at the shop today.

Magnus, just don't distract them too much. At least not until my kilt is finished. :mrgreen: 2 1/2 weeks down in the wait. I'll never make it.

You Know what, I might be tempted to come down as well. If it's between June 5th and 15th I might have a window.
Cheers

Then to Chicago via Rockford Il.
A short stop in N Indiana and then to Jeff's at PK hopefully on wed the 6th
Then up to Syracuse NY to visit relatives and our own Dr. Barb. I should be in Philly on Fri. the 8th or Sat. the 10th.

I'm all confused now. Is this post from another year? My JUne calendar shows that The 8th of June is a Wednesday, and the weekend is June 11 and 12?

[RockyR]

I think steve's using a "Canadian" calendar. HAHAHA

Either way, he'll be here SOMETIME that week and I'll keep everyone updated as to the actual AMERICAN date and times of the event.

RKilt... if you're coming from Canada, make sure to use your conversion tables for the correct date and time. ;)

[The Wizard of BC]

You are absolutly correct on those dates.

Please change depart date to Fri the 3rd and arrival date in Philly Thu. the 9th or Fri. the 10th. I will be there thru the weekend of the 10th, 11th, and 12th.

Sorry to all who can read a calender correctly. I just tossed out the big white board calender in my shop. it is one of those that starts the week on Mon. and I never could read it.

They say that with age the first thing to go is memory. I can't remember what the second thing is.
