Chaotic hall of fun

If there's one thing I would add to a list of things to do before you die it would be going to a Scots on the Rocks Chaotic Ceilidh. It's seriously one of funniest things I've ever done and I can't help but laugh at the craziness of it all when so many people are trying to remember the dance steps. Don't be afraid to join in because they'll talk you through all the steps and if you get a bit lost that's all part of the fun and there's sure to be someone around to help guide any lost dancers in the right direction. It's great exercise and for only $20 it included lots of simple party style food for supper at around 9.30 pm along with some true Scottish IRN BRU energy drink to keep your energy levels high. The organisers are very friendly and usually the ones wearing the kilts. Be sure to wear flat shoes and lose clothing to keep you cool from all the fun dancing. The chaotic ceilidh is open to anyone but keep in mind tickets sell quickly once they go on sale so you have to be quick. Check out their website for more details.

Kilt up for fun

This event is probably the most fun and exercise you can have with your clothes on unless your wearing a kilt with no underwear. Entry includes trays of basic party style food served at half time although no traditional Scottish food which is a shame except for the soft drink Irn-Bru — bring on the haggis! There's also a funny named energy recovery drink called Hairy Lemon which tastes a bit like orange Tang except lemon. It's BYO alcohol and your entry includes supper and as much dancing as your body and mind is willing to take on. If you've never been before, like me, all the dance moves are talked through first and then it's a matter of trying to remember what your actually supposed to be doing, it's all part of the fun. The next Chaotic Ceilidh will be on Saturday 27 March 2010 with more energetic and popular scottish dances.
