7th Annual Nor-Cal Rabble Burns Night at Montevalle

I've been to other Burns Suppers elsewhere, but this was my first time with the NorCal Rabble. It will certainly not be my last, as the feeling of cameraderie at this gathering was unlike any other. Alan's creative tribute to The Immortal Memory was one of the things that "made my night"!

Alan.. LOVE this.. but, any chance you could either post the words, or send them to me?? No matter how loud I turn up the speakers on my computer, I can't hear everything..

Now, listen up... I've been to a bunch of Burns Night dinners and what generally happens is that everybody is having a great time. Then it's time for dinner. One of the gents gets up and delivers the Address to the Haggis, which is a big hit. Then we eat dinner. Everybody is having a great time. Then the awful part arrives...the 20-minute Historical Lecture about Burns. I've heard good ones and I've heard really awful ones that killed the mood and the fun for a good half an hour. I was determined to not be the guy that ruined everybodys party.

OK, with that in mind....take a look if you dare, and if you have a sense of humour!
