Meowmie's sister's cat Nelson will be joining the party, as he is a real virtuoso on his bodhran (Irish single-handed drum, which is very hard to play without thumbs, but he does just fine with it ).

He will be traveling with the Michigan pipers and dancer, and we can't wait for the Catmobile to swing by Ann Arbor on its way to Dublin, Ohio! Please keep us posted on your ETA.

We are all so looking forward to getting together with the gang again and packing out the Ohio State stadium with thousands of brand-new bagpipe aficionados!

We will be bringing along a Great-Dane-size doggie bag from the Haggis in a Hurry Shoppe for all to snack on for the rest of the trip. We all have new sunglasses in frames colored with our clan tartan designs.
