Who's ready for a Kilt night in Denver?

Nope, no pics, I forgot the bloody camera. I do believe we were undone by the weather-there was a cruel wind blowing in from the north that brought (at various times) rain, snow and sleet. I-70 was closed from Vail pass to Floyd Hill much of the night, although we only got about 3 inches in the back yard. This morning, there doesn'tr seem to be *any* snow on the ground intown to speak of.

Still, a good time was had; I truly enjoyed putting a few faces to names on the list, and sampling the Boddington's Pub Ale on tap. We just need to avoid snowstorms in the future to drive up the attendance a bit.

Bryan...got two complements on the way to the pub last night...

I'm starting to think that the possibility of a proper kilt night here in Chicago is so unlikely (let's face it...looks like maybe two or three of us would show up!) that it might be better to find a cheap airfare to Denver, arrive just before the festivities start, attend, meet some of you lads, hoist a few and then schedule the flight back for as close to closing time as possible, fly back to Chicago, pour myself into a cab and come home and sleep for the next day....or two.

...Or spend the night here. I can think of 6 Irish/Anglo/Celtic pubs within walking distance of the Courtyard hotel on the 16th Street Mall. I bet they even run a shuttle out to DIA for guests.

Bryan...planting a seed, letting it germinate...
