    Big Mikey.......AGAIN?!?

    OK, this is the last post of the weekend festivities. Dublin Crossing was absolutely packed to the rafters all day yesterday. The food was great, the Guinness was flowing, the music was mighty fine. Here is a shot of part of the crowd.



    Here I am just about to leave home. SWK Irish National saffron, rugby jersey and Thorfinn sporran with a brand new badger flap.



    This young fella, Robert, was born and raised in Ireland but has lived in Canada a long time. His accent is still as thick as the foam on a pint.



    I received a number of requests for permission to perform a kilt check (about 6 or 7) and after a little instruction on the proper way to proceed, I allowed all ladies to do so. Sorry 'bout that Grant.

    It was a very enjoyable weekend and I would like to thank you all for allowing me to share. Until next year.....

    Thanks for the pics. Please send the instructions so that I might know the proper way to instruct the ladies.
