    First kilted trip to the pub

    Wore the Irish National to a local pub for the Great Guinness Toast 2012. Despite my usual "don't care what people think" attitude was a bit surprised to find myself the only one in tartan. However, after a steady stream of folks wanting to take pictures with us and offering us drinks I got over it. If I'd known I'd get treated like a rock star I would have started this years ago!

    First kilted trip to the pub

    That's the feeling! "Rock Star"! Perfect! Sounds like you has a grand time. I'll bet you're very glad you went kilted.

    My wife and I went to Disney World today; I received no less that a dozen compliments and was asked three times to pose for a photo with someone. It really was a fantastic feeling .. "rock star" nails it ... thank you for that.

    Cheers!

    Welcome from the far north of Scotland.

    As my current sig says...

    Better to be looked over than overlooked

    Now you have the confidence you can go almost anywhere kilted.

    from Chicago. You will get used to wearing the kilt, but the positive reactions you get will never pall.
