    So, what should I wear to Pixar.....

    I've been asked to get a couple of braw lads, gather up some weights, stones, hammers and a caber and show up to the "In-House" .. ->Pixar Staff Only<-, inaugural showing of BRAVE, to be held at some secret but disgracefully Posh location near Calistoga, CA. This is in about 4 weeks, a week before the public opening.

    And no, I'm not kidding. Honest. Cross my garters.

    So.

    Great kilt and woad? Perfectly tailored Capercaillie, modern, navy blue Braemar and Waistcoat, with hand-knitted hose and gillies....and regimental tie?

    Bare-chested and feiliegh-beig belted, with cadadh stained with grass and mud and no shoes?

    Well...are you crashing the party, so to speak, or are you a legit invite? I suppose it doesn't much matter, does it? Is the expectation that you dress like a character from the movie, or just come as you are (and happen to be in a kilt)? I suspect that since you will be throwing, an outfit suitable to throwing is in order...I might step on toes suggesting that you go in a character that might have been in the movie, but there you go. I would imagine that is what they expect.

    This is a legit invite, Spartan Tartan. They're actually paying us a pittance to show up. It'll be enough to buy the practice group a new weight. ANY-way, honestly, you need to be more deadly serious in your responses to threads like this. I mean....*Really*. Come, now!

    Alan,

    Simple

    For such and event you should ask the organizers what they would like.

    Cheers

    Given this request, I would definitely suggest more rugged, rough, and of course regimental! Seriously, looks like they want some folks to portray the battling highlander more than the contemporary wearer of a kilt.
    The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long

    Alright then, Alan. No sugar coating. I know you like straight talk so here goes. I would go dressed as closely to the main character's father as I could. He is a big strong guy and hosts a tyoe of competition from what I can tell. Go big. Throw heavy stuff. They didnt invite you to be a classical THCD gentleman. No, rather, they invited you to bring the spirit of the event to life. That means costume up and put on a good show!!
