Proposed March 1 Richmond Kilt Night

**Jerry** · 19th February 08, 06:45 AM

I don't know if anyone other than Mael Coluim read my last post on Jays thread, but the Midlothian Capital Ale House which was to be the location will not be open until April 1. (see The link below)

I pm'ed Jay about this several days ago, but he hasn't replied yet. Of course given his present location, it is understandable that he might be kind of busy. Capital Ale House does have two other locations in Richmond, Main street and Innsbrook. I've never been to Innsbrook, and from my one experience in the Main street area, parking is difficult in that area. Of course, I live "out in the sticks" and I am not any more familiar with Richmond than anyone else who expressed an interest in this event.I did find a few pubs in the area (google is your friend), but I don't know anything about them.

Jerry,
Although I've never been, A buddy tells me Innsbrook has much better parking than Downtown......... but then again, so does my daughter's sandbox! I'll know, personally, the last weekend of March. There will be some evening festivities, as a trickle-over, from the St.Patricks Parish Festival, that weekend. Maybe I'll see you there!?

I would have loved to meet you in Richmond, March 1, but Wifey had "other plans" for this past weekend....... gotta keep the women-folk happy, don'tcha know!

Let's try for a Kilt Night in Richmond, in June or July! Sure would be better for me!! This spring is really booked solid, around Dinwiddie!!

Well the parking was pretty packed, especially for a bar that wasn't that full. But we got by.

I would love to come back for another kilt night. I know I will going out of town sometime during June or July, the date isn't set yet. But I might be up for another trip to Richmond.

I posted why I didn't make it in your kilt night thread, but it had to do with daughters, birthdays and parties Anyhow, the ale house on Midloathian turnpike is scheduled to open on April 1.

I probably live pretty close to you. I'm in the southern end of Amelia, less than 3 miles from the Dinwiddie line.

No problem. I understand completely, family first. Plus this is my second kilt night/meet up in about three years. It just doesn't work out sometimes. I just wanted you guys to know that I am very interested in meeting you and am looking forward to time when we can.

I think maybe I was so excited about the weekend and the kilt night, what I said didn't come off right.
