Off to the Nutcracker

**KiltedBrewer** · 14th December 08, 02:33 PM

As promised, here's a photo of my lovely wife and me on our way to see the Nutcracker last night.

I'm wearing my SWK Standard MacLaren kilt, a celtic knot thistle kilt pin from USA kilts, my DIY sporran (on a women's belt from Wal Mart--under $10), the kilt hose my sister knit for me as a wedding gift, and a brown belt from Amerikilts which is covered by the sweater I got from my grandmother last Christmas.

Last night in Missoula, it was -4 Fahrenheit with a windchill of negative 20. (For our metric members, that's negative 29 Celsius.) My knees were a little chilled by the time we got into the theater, but it was a great evening.

Happy Holidays Everyone,
David

Won't dwell on it, but my first reaction to this thread's title was:
" . .

!!!!"
And then I said, "Oh, yeah, Xmas season, he means the ballet!"
Hey, really, glad it was a fun time! And the kilt looks great!

Don't worry, I had plenty of weight in my sporran to keep everything shielded from any errant cracking.

Cheers,
David

The Tchaikovsky ballet I take it?

Love the German name - knussknacker!

My daughter dances ballet, and will be performing in her dance school's production of the Nutcracker next weekend. After watching it for 13 straight years I feel like I know it about as well as the dancers LOL. You and your wife look very nice. Did you go to a professional show, or did you have someone in it?

Sharp look!

Used to live in Missoula in the late 1940s. First childhood memory is of a HUGE steam locomotive there.

Cheers to you! Love the Kilt hose that your sister knitted

It was indeed the Tchaikovsky ballet and it was put on by a local ballet company, the Garden City Ballet. It was great fun.

And thanks for the compliment on the hose. They're probably the nicest piece of clothing I own.
