To wear it or not to wear it

[David in Maryland]

Well, it looks like I may have to go with the wife to the midnight pickup of the Harry Potter book. Typically I wear my kilt everywhere. Thing is I am thinking twice about wearing my kilt to the pickup tonight. From my understanding, people dress up in costumes and such for these midnight pickups of the new Harry Potter books. I would not wear my kilt to a Halloween party, so I am appreshensive to wear it to something where other people dress up and make it seem that kilts are costumes.

If you wear it everywhere, don't let this be an exception.

Good call, Bob. Also, when people ask who you're supposed to be, you can look at them like they have an extra nose and ask them what they mean.

Correct Answer!

A kilt is a piece of clothing. It should be respected and worn as clothing. It should never be put in the category of a Halloween costume!

If they ask, tell them you're the author....or went to school where Harry did...

[Geoduck]

Wear it. The more kids see the kilt in a regular fashion, the more accepted it will be.

By the way, any of our Vancouver friends get a hold of the book? Anyone want to face charges and let us in on the plot?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the 8th circuit court up there have anything better to do with their time?

My understanding is that Harry goes to school, and then has to uncover some sort of plot by Lord Voldemort. 8-)
