It was planned quite a while ago that Mikey was coming to join for our August Kilt Night. Ryan (KiltedinUSMC) gave us a heads up that he was going to make the trip from down South a few days prior. But it came as a complete surprise to me that Steve Ashton, XMTS' own Wizard of BC flew down to visit the Hiller Aviation Museum and join us for our Kilt Night!

I was floored. Steve and I chat vis Skype quite a bit and I was happy to shake my friend's hand for the first time.
On with the photos!

The chance to be measured for a Freedom Kilt by the Wizard of BC himself was an opportunity not to be missed!









Was it just me or did he take a lot longer measuring the F-H.C.A.G. ????

Superb pics, great to see Big Mikey, The Wizard and KiltedinUSMC all as guests together at a Norcal Kilt Night. Now when are all you guys going to come along to a Dumfries kilt night?

We were glad to welcome Bob (Smayniac) and his son to the ranks Nor Cal Rabble and it was amazing to have Big Mikey, The C.W.B.F.H. (Big Mikey's wife), KiltedinUSMC, and The Wizard of BC all travel so far to join us.

It was really one of our best Kilt Nights ever!



Our thanks to our friends at the Devils Canyon Brewing Company for providing such a wonderful place to meet (and such great beer to enjoy)
