Manhattan KS kilt night

**Rogerson785** · 2nd March 08, 08:54 AM

Yesterday I cleaned out all the mud and road salt from my garage before heading out on the town.

Last night I went to a new bar called the Pub it’s not in the Aggieville Manhattan KS part of town, very small and nice. The K-State KU basketball game was playing on all eight TV’s, but the bartender was very attentive to my soccer jersey and switched one of the TV’s to European Football. They also had a good selection of beer on tap.

I was even complimented by several patrons which makes going on my solo kilt nights that much better. I need to do some recruitment, but then again being the only kilted man in this small town may have some unseen advantages.

Great kilt, bad jersey!

I won the jersey while I was stationed in the Sinai, only because my Boston University t-shirt said made in Columbia and there was a contingent of Columbian soldiers there.

I'll have to talk to my son about the Pub. He is a jr at KSU and wears his UK or Amerikilt time to time. That place must have opened since the last time we visited. Good looking outfit. How is it received on post?

YMOS,

Tony,

I live 35 minutes from post in the opposite direction past Manhattan towards Topeka, so I don't really make an effort to visit post on my days off, but one day I did have to go use my printer at work and saw a soldier who made no comment on my attire.

Let me know if you get into Kansas city. I would be glad to meet you and then neither you nor I won't be kilted alone.

**Rogerson785** · 2nd March 08, 01:24 PM

Sounds good, I might make a trip out that way on the 15th of March.

I'm new to the forum...been lurking for awhile. I'm in Lincoln, NE, but get down to Lawerence and KCMO frequently. I would be happy to try and meet for a kilt night, as long as USMC Leatherneck doesn't clash with US Army

Semper Fi,

It's good to see kilties in Kansas. I was born and raised around Hutchinson, KS. I wore my kilt around once there when visiting my mother and the locals didn't know what to make of it. I got a chuckle out of it, at least.

Keep up the good work wearing it solo.
