Mid Winter Fest in PA

[Magnus Sporrano]

Well normally I don't get very hung over. I blame the car bombs. There were at least three of those. Don't blink or you might miss Buddha drinking his.

There were a lot of broken hearted girls in King of Prussia last night.

[GMan]

OK how many of those broken hearted girls were there in reality? Or were you having too many drinks to count them all

It is good that we can all share these experiences, I felt like I was with you all, and didn't have the hangover 8)

well, lets see...

the 3 girls from Cabrini College
the bevy of women sitting next to the "alternative lifestyle" club
amd various others who already had men but couldnt resist Magnus

Yeah Steve had those three Cabrini girls from the getgo. He was generous and shared them with me. But they left kind of early. I did dance with one of them IIRC. I got there half an hour before everyone else and before the first pint was half gone I had two girls come over just to hang out & chat. Turns out one of them was a former co-worker of Rocky's from before the USA Kilts genesis.

I got a little bold and went up to girls that were looking bored because their dates wouldn't dance to the traditional Irish tunes. Luckily no brawls ensued.

I think before you left, Buddha, I had started going around the sorority table taking turns dancing with each one of the sisters.

But the best of all was dancing with Kelly, wouldn't you agree?

I'm getting ready to go out the door to head over to Finnigan's Wake right now. The mojo is off tonight (getting over a bad cold, bad hangover, and Mrs. Magnus is coming along tonight hahahaha)

[Magnus Sporrano]

Ahhhhh Hank punked out!

There I was, the only one at Finnigan's Wake in a kilt that wasn't part of the band. 11:00 rolls by. No kilted regiment showing.

We finally get Rocky on the phone (I didn't, but I got this second hand). I don't know the story but Hank couldn't make it for some reason and that held back the whole crew from coming to FW tonight.

Well... you guys missed it. Best night ever! The Bogside Rogues had the audience whipped into a frenzy. There was a mosh pit going!!! Girls were removing clothes. It was insane. Glad my wife was there to keep me in check.

[RockyR]

Here's the deal... Kelly and I were tired after a full day of work, but Zack and Steve (my friend who we roped into helping us) were ready to go to Finnegans. We decided that if HANK and his little Posse wanted to go , we'd take them out for a good time. Could they hang with the big boys? NO! I was sorely dissapointed, but I understood b/c we had to work early today.

Last night Hank wussed out again, however his friend Tommy came out with us. When we got there, the place was packed, but everyone was standing still. Within 5 minutes, the "dancefloor" was PACKED with men in kilts, the band played almost ALL Irish music,
Beers were swilled and cigarettes were smoked and women's hearts were broken. We had a POSSE of USA Kilts and the one guy (Dennis) from the Utilikilts booth even came! All told, it looked like we had a group of about 20 to 25 KILTED people having a BLAST and we brought the "pant wearers" along for the ride!

If there's ANYONE who wants to see the ROWDIEST kilt nights in the world, you GOTTA come down to Philly.

[Magnus Sporrano]

Hey... where was my phone call bro?

[Verlyn]

I had the pleasure of meeting Hank and Rocky face to face on Sunday at the festival. Its nice to put faces to the names. I was a little disappointed with the size of the festival; I was expecting something much larger. We all had a good time, but the pipers never played long enough for my taste. Although getting Guiness on tap and learning about whiskey at the tasting seminar was good. Oh, well, I did have a good time, I just thought there would be more things there.

last year was larger, and more packed and cheaper IIRC. for $20 to get in I fully expected alot more.

[highlandtide]

OK ok ok. To defend myself....

On Friday night I believe the consensus was that there was still beer on tap at the Festival so why leave. Hmmm I am positive that was what I heard. But I will admit to bowing out on Saturday night. I should have come out but I was beat like a rented mule. It isnt easy being on your feet all day and barking your wares to the masses. I accept full blame for that one.

It was great meeting everyone though!
