The 2007 West Coast Tionol will be hosted by the San Francisco Pipers’ Club. Details are now posted on our website: http://www.sfpipersclub.org/tionol.html. The tionol will be held over the Presidents’ Day weekend, which falls on Feb. 16-18. Mickey Dunne will be the guest piper. Peter Heelan and Conall O’Raghallaigh will also be teaching some of the classes. John Pedersen and Ted Anderson will be doing reedmaking and repairs. Advance registration is encouraged. Hope you can join us!
Yeah, & come say hello to me & the baby, who BETTER be born before the end of December!

Will do Justine! Best of luck with everything 
Looking forward to the tionól as always.

I’ll be there with the beehive C set and a D chanter. Who Hooo!
Any of you uncivilized Californians from LALA land wanna share a room and car with me? C’mon… its a tradition…and just maybe…in 2 years in SF…we’ll sleep at my place!
Justine…go to the hospital and tell 'em you need some i.v. oxytocin and that’ll get things going for ya. Oh yeah…and a med student pelvic exam…guaranteed to lead to rupture of membranes. Goes nicely with oxytocin. 
My wife always thought my pasta arabiata( hot pepers flakes in tomato sause with capers, anchovie, garlic and onions) started her down that path. Happened 2 out of three deliveries, with the last being a C section.
Hmm- probably way too much info. I do remember that oxytocin in our Lamze class
edited once for arabica (coffee bean, not the pasta)
Ah, I remember when we were pregnant: all the screaming, the tears, the vomiting…
…and that was just the conception.

Uh…Tommy? I didn’t know you were watching? Sorry my friend. How are the kids? 
Zachary’s Pizza and the Blue Nile!! Can’t wait!
As long as you don’t pull an “expert witness” on us 
No E 
I’m an expert at witnessing all sorts of debauchery…but…deal!
Are we gonna be at “that house” again this year? Seemed to work well last time tionol was in the bay area. Fr. d’Arcy and I get first dibs on the kitchen for sessions!
I can say, based on conversations with UCSF this weekend, I’ve now one foot in California…the other is in Tennessee but is lifting off the ground…
Yeah, same place as last time… Cathy (who lives in “that house”) took up the pipes herself after seeing all the fun we were having 2 years ago, and she has graciously invited us back to do it all over again.
So is she the"resident "piper at the Starry Plough? She’ll be following in Denis’ footsteps!
Like it or not folks…Blevins is moving to San Francisco. 
YAY!!!
edited to add: “Like it or not?..Well, gosh darn, I must say I like it!”
Bummer, I had hoped I’d get an opportunity to attend a house session of yours… in lovely Tennessee.
Congrats to you all the same, and may the move be a breaze.
That’s great news, Lewis! So, maybe this is premature, but we need someone to host the January Pipers’ Club meeting? Can we use your place? 
Can we use your place?
I wish! I’ll be out there in Jan for business…back out in Feb for the tionol…anticipate starting April 1 or thereabouts…hope to have a place to call home by then. Lewis
Coming to Florida in March, buddy?
NOTHING!! but NOTHING!! gets by Bob
