Bump.

Mike and I are planning on hitting one of the Whisky tastings this year (they are fun) is anyone else interested?

I will be at the games in the morning with my family, than going home for a swim, than coming back int he early afternoon.

Who wants to meet up for a pint?

[Casper]

I'll be there, either way. Hoping to get into the whisky tasting myself, but the tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis... and i'm not known for doing early mornings well!

[Colin]

I think Mike and I were talking about the 2:30 or the 3:30 tasting.You do have to buy the tickets early though.

[Big Mikey]

OK. I'll take one for the team. I get off work at 7:00 AM so I'll be up anyway. I can be to the grounds for opening time and get tickets for the whisky tasting. Please PM me and I'll do my best to ensure we all get in. Please indicate your preference as to time or I'll just pick one.

SLAINTE!!!

If I make it, it won't be until the afternoon. That day is uncertain right now.

I got some good news last night. I am unable to attend the kilt night in Victoria this weekend, but I did win two tickets to see the World Champion SFU pipe band in concert this Saturday night. I start my fun week and a bit tonight with a beer tasting, have the pipe band concert on Saturday, and next week I have the games and Canada day!!!

[Colin]

OK guys, Big Mikey has offered to pick up some tickets to the 2:30 or 3:30 whisky tasting, but he needs to know who is interested pretty quick.

The games are this Saturday at Perry Percy stadium in Coquitlam. More info at bchighlandgames.com

I will be there in the am and will be back in the afternoon sans wife and kids.

I would suggest a place to meet, but it sounds like lot of us will be coming at different times, so just keep an eye out for my ugly mugg or look up a pic of Big Mikey. We are both pretty touch to miss. I will have a Weathered MacKenzie tartan kilt with Xmarks kilt pin and a Scotland Rugby shirt on (weather permitting).

Look forward to seeing you all there. Mikey and Nerts, I will have your pins with me.

[Nerts]

Not sure when I'll be showing up but it will be somtime before noon... probably between 1000 and 1100. I've even managed to drag along a few of my friends.

I'll be in a OD Original UK with sporran and hose and I might even have my Braveheart (modern sgian dubh by Cold Steel) by then!

I'm loking forward to seeing y'all! Take care guys and see you there!
