I’m finally home after a long day of travel! This is my Tartan Affair with the Outlander cast, Starz, the Clanmily (so many of us lovely fans!) and NYC! Of course, there are now thousands of high quality pictures floating around the internet and you can always find them at places like Farfaraway but these are my humble pics.
After an early but energizing morning I took a wee norrag (40 winks) and headed to the theatre. What a crush! Some people had been standing outside for 7 hours or more!
But we had great fun while waiting in line! Kilted cuties handed out swag…
and kept us entertained and distracted from the cold…
When we entered the theatre there was a fantastic costume and set display. Terry and her team have done a truly spectacular job on the costumes. In addition to filming in Scotland, the costuming makes the story so very real.
All of a sudden I found myself transformed…
Luckily, these bonny gents brought me back to reality and it was time for the show!
As the pipers, @darkislepiper and @vbyrnes23, took the stage the energy in the room was electric! I was thrilled to be seated only 14 rows from the stage in an aisle seat. A wonderful view!
I can only say that Episode 9 is fantastic and well titled, The Reckoning! I’m so excited to see it again! So much anatomy to uncover! Speaking of…have ye been studying yer body parts? There’s still time to take the mid-term exam and brush up!
Then, it was time for our favorite stars to take the stage…
The panel was lively…Gary is a whisky expert, Graham is entertaining (and neither a Macintosh nor a hobbit), Lotte, Cait, Tobias, Ron and Sam were all lovely. It’s clear that they adore their fans as much as their Clanmily adores them!
I was hoping to ask a couple questions, but sadly, the panel only lasted 15 minutes! This is what I want to know:
Ron – How is it decided who writes which episode? Do you draw straws like Rupert and Angus?
Sam – You said you were injured while filming an upcoming episode. Which type of injury did you sustain?
Alas, I’ll have to wait for another time (I did get to shake Ron’s hand and was about 6″ within Sam’s orbit)…I’m so delighted that I was able to attend the Tartan Affair and meet all of the wonderful fans that make this a Clanmily! We are fierce!

I got up in the wee hours this morning (at least for me hailing from the West coast) to greet the Outlander Day (which was quite nippy at 33 degrees F)!
Here are some of the fanmily (that’s me in the silver hair) in front of the Outlander bus.
This really is a #tartanaffair! It was great fun to see everyone out in their kilts. That’s the wonderful @darkislepiper on the right who played the bagpipes and Outlander theme on the streets.
Pretty sweet to be dwarfed by bonny gents in kilts!
Later, I took a daunder up to the Ziegfeld Theatre to suss out the scene. Looks official!
I’m SO excited for tonight! And, I’m having the absolute best day meeting all of the amazing Outlander Clanmily!
I’ll be sure to share more pictures from tonight’s affair!
