Let me start-off by saying that the Pittsburgh contingent of the kilted is small in numbers, but HUGE on personality and character! I can't thank you guys enough for coming-out!
Mychael, you and your lovely wife supplied the official "toasting" glasses for the evening! The initial toast to celebrate the 50th anniversary was great... and one HUGE surprise!
As for the second half... behind the tears... she said "YES!"  Whew!!! I'm digging the thought of "Mrs. Carbomb"!!!
Once Seamus got going, he had his fair share of picking on me... as usual. He would invite the women to sing a verse of a song... then the men to sing a verse... then the cross-dressers to sing a verse. (Which I later deferred to Jeff!)  Jeff... what does your great wife think of the kilted crowd now?!
The next time that there's Pittsburgh kilt night (and there will be more), we'll get it organized to be awesome!
Again... I can't thank you guys enough for making it out to Mullaney's Harp and Fiddle. Do you have any idea how lucky you are to have such a GREAT venue for Irish drinking, dancing and music?! Maybe we can see the schedule at Finnigan's Wake (near the baseball stadium) for another night!!!

Jimmy Carbomb Spotted at Pittsburgh Pub
Well, I finally met Jimmy C and his intended, along with Mom and Pop Carbomb who were along celebrating their 50th Anniversary at The Harp and Fiddle. Jimmy's parents claim that he is the cream of their crop, making me fearful to meet the rest of their brood
Seriously though, it was nice to finally meet someone from our Xmarks watering hole. After reading about all of the kilt night fun taking place in Vancouver, Philly, and Toronto, it sometimes feels a little lonely here in Pittsburgh. Jimmy's tank in Irish National tartan looked awesome. As for the man himself, I found him every bit as personable, good natured, and intense as I had imagined and look forward to again tipping a pint with him.
We were surprised to see another pair of kilted fellows in attendance. They seemed just as surprised to see us, though. As for the entertainment I cannot say since the wife and I left before Seamus took the stage. Jimmy will have to give the low down on that, as well as fill you in on his sneaky endeavorings. [So, what did she say, Jimmy?! Don't leave me in suspense!]

I think Juli (my wife) is used to the fact that coolest people are always the ones wearing kilts! (Coolest literally and figuratively, I should add).
She wasn't too amused, though, when I got tired of the ladies at the next table trying to sneak a peek under my kilt, and finally just flashed them my ****. Then I passed out cards to their boyfriends.

Wish you could have stayed a little longer, Mychael. We arrived about 9:15, just in time for the "festivities".
The other two kilties were Ed and John from the Highland Regiment reinactment group. I think they're members of "Xmarksthescot" now, so maybe they'll chime in.
I'll give Jimmy a chance to tell his own story. Then I'll fill in the details. 8)

We'll let you know about the next get-together in Pitt. The more... the merrier!

Good Deal.I also wanted to let you know but didn't get the chance on Saturday that the "BlackWatch" was stationed in Ireland for a good part of the 18th century.The Irish people preferred them over some of the other British units there since they had more in common. 
Thanks & Good Luck.
