March on Crafty Blogger links

I "heart" men in plaid and this these bagpipers-The L A Scots rock! They march through the convention hall to open the CHA show and I run around and take pictures and video of them. One of my uncles and a cousin play the bagpipes so I guess the love of the bagpipe is a family thing.
