Looks like you'll all get the full West Coast experience remember the brollies and the Inverness Capes.

Can you tel I'm just a little jealous?

It is going to be quite an event.
I wish i could join you -- not onloy would I get to see a grand array of tartans, I might also discover what a "button down" is.

Enjoy yourselves !

Unfortunately something more important has come up and I am unable to join the rabble for the celebration.

Someone else suggested the Bengal lounge for a few beverages afterwards which would let you guys walk past the Parliament buildings all lite up and have a few cocktails in a very cool lounge. http://www.fairmont.com/empress/Gues...ngalLounge.htm Somehow I think Jamie will be bringing the pith helmet for that expedition.

I so wish I could be there tomorrow night! Unless I suddenly find the secret to FTL travel I'm stuck here in the other Vancouver (USA). I'll be with you all in spirit though.

Sipping Scotch at home and imagining what's happening in Victoria,

Hank and Mrs. highlantide arrived on the Coho ferry at 3:30 this afternoon.
After giving them a quick tour of Freedom Kilts and an idea of what is planned for them I sent them off for a bite to eat and then to their beds as Mrs. highlandtide is pregnant and needed to get off her feet.
Plus, they are still on Eastern time so by their body clocks it is already late.

Pics tomorrow.

Highlandtide, Steve, Panache, the Mod Squad, et al,

I wish you all the very best for the evening. I trust all will proceed smoothly. I would attend this grand event if I were able, but alas work has me cornered for the evening. I'll be certain to raise a dram to your health, and the continued success of XMarksTheScot. Keep up the good work lads, we greatly appreciate all the hard work you are doing so that the rest of us can enjoy our time together here as the clan we have grown to be.

Best regards,
Mitch

My flight is confirmed, bag packed, and I'm ready to head out early tomorrow before the crack of dawn for another adventure up North with my kilted friends!

Be seeing you!

Cheers
