    I'll be wearing my Kilt to a Guiness Legacy event tonight, but it's in Portland OR. So I guess we'll be sharing a pint together a couple of states apart!

    Would have thought seriously about it if I had known in time and where it was being held. Even with the snow.

    it wasnt exactly what I thought it would be ....there wasnt an endless supply of Guinness..... I was hoping....but it wasnt
    had a good time thought ..learned somthing and I got a baseball cap some posters and a couple of guinness pint glasses that I filtched under my flight jacket ....hey it wasnt stealing ...the Guinness rep saw me do it :grin: anyhow bikercelt.....I tapped my glass on the table after I clinked glasses with my mates so I toasted you too

    cause when you tap the table after clinking glasses it means you are toasting those who are gone ....and those who cant be with you that night

    I like that! They didn't share that bit with us but I did tell my Wife and the folks at the table we were toasting you too. They thought that was pretty cool. We did learn some interesting facts, such as Arthur Guiness having 21 children. For some reason the women all focused right in on that with a bit of a moan. don't know why that was (yes I do, but I'll deny it if anyone suggests otherwise )

    They did have some small taster glasses shaped like traditional pint glasses which were used both for the tasting and as prizes. My Wife managed to "liberate" one each with the labels Guiness, Smithwick, and Harp. They'll go well with the set of pint glasses my Daughter purloined in Dublin. I don't understand how my family became so larcenous. Thank goodness their acquisitions are limited to souvenir bar glasses.

    just so you know ...the tapping of the pint on the table after clinking glasses is something I do personally ....its not something Guinness does
