: : : Stephanie and I went to the Native American Arts Festival at Coachman Park yesterday. They had dancers, drummers, story tellers, artists, etc. We even got to go inside a wooden tipi. It smelled very good because it was made out of pine. Too bad we didn't know exactly where Chris' band was playing. We were probably right around the corner. After the festival, we hung out at this really cool coffee house in Downtown Dunedin. It is one of the better coffee houses as far as character goes. We sat on their garden patio and listened to an acoustic folk act. They were very enjoyable. The weather was beautiful. The shop inside the coffee house was full of all kinds of cool angels, faeries, gargoyles, candles, etc. They also had a lot of cool art work. My friends Bert and Jeannie were there with us. We also explored Main Street after we had sufficient caffeine to fuel our tanks. Very cool place. We will certainly go there again.
: : : BTW, we are privy to the secret of the musical cross.
: : sounds like you and Steph had fun! I would love to go thrifting or music shopping with you one day, you know like at used stores, etc. and i would love for you and Steph to dress me up like we planned before, years ago. Anyway, I'm ready to realize some of those dreams. Also, you've really got me wondering about the musical cross. Hmmmm...... Març and I were there the same day at Casa Tina's Mexican Restaurant. Downtown Dunedin I mean. Wow!
: : See ya, Bill
: Downtown Dunedin, Sister city to Sterling Scotland, one of my favorite places in the area, especially around St Patty's day! Last year they blocked off Main St and had a real party in the street!
: If you get a chance you need to check out Victoria's which is a odd antique co-op / Scottish museum/celtic jewelry and stuff store. There is also a store in which you may have a kilt custom made, while picking out a set of pipes.
: They also do the Scottish games at Highland Park every year. They have Pipe and Drum bands from all over come and perform. When all those pipes get together it's pretty breathtaking! Part of that is the actual games like throwing logs and other large weapons of destruction, not to mention the vendors with all imaginable Celtic wares. There's something we should try to do!
: I bet the Irish pub you dropped Bryce off at is Flanagan's. Whatever happened to Bryce Bill?
: Next time you go count me in! It's actually a lot closer to my house than Tampa.

We'll definitely give you a call. My friends, Bert and Jeannie, own a house right off of Main street. They are often involved in the festivities down there. There will be a trash fashion show there Sunday, November 18th. It sounds kind of fun. The Scottish festival is sometime in the next couple of weeks. Mike, Jen, and I went a couple of years ago. It was a blast. I even found out the name of my family's clan, saw our tartan, etc. Maybe a bunch of us could go this year. It's about $10 a pop.
BTW, make sure you iron the wrinkles out of your kilt this year, Michael!
