I went to the Bellingham Games yesterday, and game back with a few photos.

The Wicked Tinkers were there, tearing it up. They are about half the reason I enjoy going to the games:

Warren Patrick Casey on the Bodhran


Jay Atwood. The kilt is a royal purple tartan of some sort. The pattern was so subtle, I thought it was a solid until he got closer.


I saw this worthy in the audience. Riverkilt, do you have a brother up here?


Off to the beer tent, er, shed.
Boundary Bay brought out a special Scottish Ale they had made for the occasion.



Light shall not pass through....

Here are a couple from Clan Anderson:





Here's a solid black from Neokilt. I'm loading it a little larger to try and show detail. Please excuse the refraction from the lens.



Fun games to be sure, but they're only a primer for the bigger games at the end of July.
