August Nor Cal Kilt Night (Prelude to the Pleasanton Highland Games)

**Panache** · 27th August 07, 08:31 AM

As we all look forward to the upcoming Pleasanton Games this coming Saturday and Sunday what better way to kick start the weekend than ...

AUGUST NOR CAL KILT NIGHT!

When?

This very Friday Night -August 31st!

Who?

All you fun kilted folks!

Why?

For those that like kilts, good company, good music, and of course refreshing beverages there is no better place to be at the end of the month.

The Featured band this coming evening is the Devil’s Tonic Blues Band.
The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess, myself, and the kilted kiddies will certainly be in attendance. And yes Virginia, Panache will be wearing the infamous Maroon X-Kilt!

Hope to see the assembled rabble there!

Cheers

Jamie

As Motorman4life has written previously...

Lots of cool singles, couples, families (Very Kid friendly environment!) No stress meet-and-greet with cool, fun loving, people in a casual, relaxing, atmosphere. No cover charge! Live music, great hot food at really decent prices, indoor and outdoor seating with cozy propane heat lamps and couches inside & outside! Come with plans to have fun! Bring a friend (or two)!

No-host bar. $3 (16 oz.) award-winning microbrews. Don't miss their fantastic "Full Boar Scotch Ale" and “Rye Beer” !!!! as well as about a 1/2 dozen other great draft selections! As of late they have been serving a Jabenero brew which does more than just tickle the taste buds.

Put on your kilt and come join the fun! The proprietors will be expecting us! If we get advance notice on the bands that will be playing, we will be sure to post info. here!

Devil's Canyon Brewing Company: 111 Industrial Way #7, Belmont CA 94002

WARNING: This place can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so pay attention; It is located in the north/east corner of the Harbor Business Center, right off of Harbor Blvd exit from S/B Hwy. 101, driveway just east of Industrial. It can be a bit difficult to find the first time. Just copy down the detailed directions from the link above and you'll find it! If in doubt, park in the lot and listen for the music!

They are open to the public just one night per month. They call the event "Beer Friday." Their doors open at 5 pm and things tend wrap up between 11 pm and midnight. We have no affiliation with the brewing company, it is just a convenient location on the Peninsula and a great place to hold a casual mixer in a central location.

Cheers

This Marroon kilt I HAVE to see!

(... thinking... 1. Perhaps I should visit a fabric store first and borrow a color swatch book for comparison purposes 2. An early arrival would be nice so natural light is available. 3. I'm bringing a friend - perhaps she can be impartial in a decision. 4. What a way to introduce her to this rabble!

This is not a case of “the Devil made me do it.” Not at all! It’s that wickedly warped F-H.B-T.C.A.G.’s fault, you know…

After hunting and haunting the fabric stores and eBay, at long last the perfect lining material has been located and ordered. Though not as fair and desirable as the shimmering pile (coat) of the Greater Acryli-Beast, nevertheless, here it is from Alexander Henry’s Nichole Collection of conversational fabrics:

This could get interesting!

**motorman4life** · 30th August 07, 01:58 PM

I plan on being there... no doubt.

Panache zooms in (stage right) guiding his bumper car in a somewhat awkward fashion. No doubt this is in part caused by the very lovely Devil's Canyon Full Boar Scotch Ale in his hand....

bumpity, bumpity, bump, bump...
