I joined the lovely Toronto band, Enter the Haggis, last night for their first Los Angeles show. It was a shoddy turnout, which is unusual for their concerts in Florida where hordes of fans gather hours in advance to drink, eat and be merry in honor of the show to come. That's Los Angeles for you. I think that the few of us who showed, including The Young Dubliners, gave them a right and proper crowd of hooting and hollering.

The truly cool thing of the night even with a shoddy turn out? The hubby and I were able to have a pint or two with the band members before they went on. I guess they decided that mingling with their only fan proudly attired in an ETH shirt, signed by all of them two years ago, was a good idea. We talked about prior concerts, kilts, drinking, touring, Canada, hockey, then moved on to Toronto specifically and the cool people in that lovely city.

After all the talk of Toronto, I decided it was cool to mention Stephanie and her blog. They were all on board when I discussed the new tradition of the traveling sock and its pictures. We talked about the Knitting Olympics and Knitters Without Borders and all of the other lovely things that have stemmed from this lone Toronto Knitter and the lovely friends that support her blog. The drummer said he'd check it out, women in his family knit after all and if it's funny... you get the gist. We are slowly taking over the world, damnit!

Anyone have a good kilt hose pattern? I'd like to subtly taunt them into wooly submission.
