Palm Springs Kilt Night with Hamish! Saturday April 4th

Absolutely not, your character is safe. We all started somewhere on this journey. If you really want a kilt for April 4th perhaps you could order from Stillwater Kilts they tend to get kilts dispatched quickly and it could be a great introduction to kilts.

And there are other vendors here who can supply a made-to-measure non-tartan kilt in that timeframe. . .

I am just up the hill from PS, 15 miles. I am excited to have a kilted party so close to home. I am in PS several times a week, if more help with the set up is needed I am glad to help.

In addition to His Lairdship Hamish visiting the PS area in April, just how many kilted bretheren are there in the area or are close enough that would be willing to travel a little to have a regularly scheduled Kilt night in the PS area?

I have been speaking with a friend who is a bartender at a local Pub and she seems to be rather enthused about having/sponsoring? a Kilt night.

As well, as previously mentioned in this thread, I think, there is a new pub, The Tilted Kilt, that is about to open in Palm Desert in March. I haven't been able to talk to anyone from that establishment about a Kilt Night, but it would seem to be right in-line with the theme of the place.

Any thoughts, or other suggestions?

First post in AGES . . . and since I just moved BACK to the Dirty Deuce (Twentynine Palms, for the uninitiated) from DE (hung out with Rocky a few times at Kilt Nights near Philly), I am very excited to see the amount of kilted gents near here!

I look forward to making it down there wherever we plan to go . . . And Gibbs, I am with you on trying to get a local kilt night going . . . 29 Palms is beyond boring. Let's open a pub here! (that goes for all the other locals, too!)

I had no idea when I joined XMTS that there were so many of the kilted about. I agree that a regular kilt night in the area is a fine idea. The only thing better than a pub would be a brewpub. I have had a leatherneck kilt for several years but have seldom worn it. Learning that there are others near by will change that. Add my name for kilted activities in the PS area.

Well, that's at least three of us. At least I won't have to drink alone.

I'll do some more checking around on this, my friend is definately on the inside track of the pub scene around the valley. She might be able to suggest some other spots we might want to try as well.

Although, this project is starting to sound like pretty dry work. Especially out here in the desert. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to do some pub recon.

Do you think we should move this to another thread? I have kinda gotten off track for this one.

Apologies to all.

**Panache** · 25th February 09, 06:32 PM

Folks,

We need to know:

How many of us are coming?

Where do we meet?

I have to say that Lyon's seems good based on the fact that it is large, fairly centrally located, and near a hotel for those of us coming out of the area.

So,

Are you in? (if so please say so)

Is this Lyon's place sound OK? If not propose a better alternative.

The F-H.C.A.G. and I are looking forward to meeting Hamish, Jim, and everyone else who can attend.

Cheers

Jamie

Ah, but not as much as I am looking forward to meeting the F-H.C.A.G. and your good self, Jamie - and everyone else who can attend, of course!

Take care,
Ham.
