Pics of the Western Mass. highland games

Emolas, I saw you wandering around all afternoon...had I recognized you beforehand, I wouldve said hi!
Maybe, next event, we can start an "ugly mug/this is me" thread, so we KNOW what one another look like

Yeah, well I was there too. I'll look through my pics to see if any need to be added. Sorry to miss at least the four of you (and families). Kept looking for a family in Black Watch but honestly there were a lot of people there. Kept looking XMarksTheScot pins but didn't see any of those (except mine which wasn't helping). I agree, NEXT time let's do the picture ahead of time so we can look for familiar faces.

It was a wonderful day and a great event. My first Highland games BTW.

Jay,
I'm the guy in the way back of your photo, at the Peoples Pint. Short story: I was not kilted. Why you ask? Long story......
Sorry for not Approachig, and asking if you are an x marks man.
Well i did see a few kilted gents at the Pub. but alas.... i was not willing to approach all of them and ask the X marks affiliation. Had I drank a few more pints i might have...
I do remember seeing you, as you were sitting in the spot the photo was taken..
The Peoples pint is a great bar, and the chicken wings were really good!
We need to devise a "Sign" so X markers recognise each other at kilt heavy events. I dont wear an x marks t shirt..
something like fingers crossed resting on ones temple.... Had i given "the sign" you may have noticed, and all would have worked out.....
Maybe I will do a seperate thread on "The Sign"

Sorry I missed you too. I'm not the type of guy to go around asking random kilted gents if they are X-markers either. I mentioned my large jack-o-lantern tattoo on my forearm earlier on the forum in the hopes that someone might recognize me from that (there aren't too many of those around I'll bet). Anyway, I'm really glad you went to the People's Pint and that you enjoyed it. I try to get everyone I can to check the place out. They have a celtic music jam session every Sunday night that is awesome. People from all over western Mass and Southern VT come down with their instruments and play for hours. Over the years they have become quite good. I'd love to see a kilt night there at some point if anyone else would be interested. Unfortunately, because the celtic music is on Sunday, I wouldn't be able to make it that night. A Friday or Saturday night would be better for me. Anyway, the next time I go to a highland games I'm going to post my pic so the good folks here can flag me down if they see me.

Well, I, for one, would be down for a sunday night. Bit of a drive, but, no work for me in the AM.
