Bump! I've bought my ticket. Anyone else?

I won't be able to attend. I'm playing at a barn dance that night.

I'm registered already, McFarkus, look forward to seeing you. Used to live in Lincoln Square (which I miss dearly) and The Grafton is a fine, fine little pub, which I hope still features live Celtic Folk Music, and would also occasionally visit Gannon's on a Friday--back when it was called Clancy's--to gorge myself on fish and chips. A bit disappointed that the Duke Of Perth isn't on the itinerary, but on the other hand am looking forward to visiting The Globe. Slainte!

Excellent, Dyerstraits. I look forward to meeting you. I'll be wearing a Gordon Red Ancient kilt. I plan to be there at the beginning, but I might not make it all the way to the end. The Duke is not near the other bars. But we've frequently made it the target of a kilt night.

I will be sporting the Honour Of Scotland tartan and maybe my Crail jacket for a bit of dash. My girlfriend may not last until we get to The Globe, but I intend to--I'll be taking a "party nap" earlier in the day. So Many Malts, So Little Time!

**McFarkus** · 3rd April 13, 06:51 AM

Excellent! I probably won't make it to the Globe either. 6-7 hours is a long bar crawl

Wow! That was fun! So happy to meet some of my fellow Windy City Kilted Brethren, and many thanks to the Chicago Scots for their sponsorship! Sorry I had to bow out early. McFarkus, a true pleasure to meet a fellow X Marker in person--tell us all again about how to join the Chicago Kilted social group. I ready for more Kilted Nights!

It was good to meet you too, DyerStraits! Sorry we didn't have more time to chat. If you go to your profile page, down towards the bottom of the left hand column you will find social groups. Just look for Chicago Kilted.

Done! I'm now officially part of The Chicago Rabble. And while I'm at it, a warm thanks to Gus Noble, Julia Witty-Miller and their associates at Chicago Scots for producing a very enjoyable evening.
