Ugh! I missed the Houston Highland Games because I was out of town, and I won't be able to make this one either. Guess the kilt's just gonna have to wait it out... something's gotta come up soon.

Ceilidh BTW is Pronounced Kay-lee...

it is a traditional Friday night deal where they have singers and folk tellers eat and to drink all the Scotch you can handle!

it is fun to sit with and I do believe that it is by invite only... you may want to check in on that! I went to my first one about 4 years ago, it was nice!

I would think you can bring a Camera and any lens you want since one of the activities listed on their site is a Photo Contest.

quote from site, "Any photo taken at the TSF&HG in the preceding year, or the current year, up to submission time, is eligible. You may enter as many photos as you like.

Photos must be submitted no later than 12:00 pm, Sunday, June 8th, 2008 at the TSF&HG booth on the concourse.

Photos will be judged on originality, composition, creativity, technical/aesthetic quality, and best representation of the “spirit of the games”."
