I would like to second that! Pictures will be posted tomorrow evening as I apparently had a bit too much to drink after making a final stop at 10 Downing Street on the way homen and thus am barely able to operate the heavy machinery that is my PC.

The night in a nutshell:

- Fellowship with other X-Markers: Excellent!
- Sexy kilt contest: Tragic in a, well, words fail me at this point.

I think we're in the same boat. Ah well, the joys of self-employment include "unscheduled sick days!" I've done what needs to be done, and I think I'll go snooze through "Tunes of Glory" to recuperate.

About the kilt contest, tho! Two parts farce and mockery, one young guy who I thought put on quite the show, a couple of older gents who were definitely in the spirit of things . . . but the two parts farce and mockery were what stuck out.

I'm no pure traditionalist, but guys just shouldn't wear micro-minis.

And while I did mention Zardoz' sharp outfit, I didn't mention James73's absolutely stunning Anderson kilt. (Umm, James, I am remembering correctly, right?) It looked a lot more blue than my monitor generally shows. Mostly I like "plain and simple" tartans, which the Anderson most definitey is not, but it looked really, really good.

And here are your intrepid X-Markers:



I think I might have been wearing my kilt a BIT tight last night!

And then here are to contestants in the Sexy Kilt Contest.





The rest of the pics, which really aren't so great, are located here.

Right in one, sirrah! And thank you!

That camera makes me look really short! But hey it was fun and I'm proud to have been among the well dressed contingent that evening
