Greetings from Oklahoma

[Sindarius]

Hail and well met,

A thought happened upon me sometime near the first of this month, by chance it would seem. I decided to purchase a kilt. Since recently takeing a renewed interest in me heritage and having always been a fan of kilts I first took up the task of becoming an informed consumer. I then discovered your fine community here and began learning all I could while fighting the urge to spend more money than I could afford.

My first kilt arrived yesterday. YAY! :-P
I went with a Nightstalker standard from Stillwater Kilts for me first kilt. Though I've nothing to compare it with I'm pleased with my purchase and the quality seems excellent for the dollar spent.

Having lurked about the forum long enough I wanted to chime in with a hello and a hearty Thank You to the many of you whom have contributed to my expanding knowledge of kilted life.

Cheers

Welcome to the board! Good luck on fighting that urge. While you may be able to keep it to what you can afford (and I hope you do) you'll probably find that you will buy ALL the kilts you can afford.

Aye, indeed. The mind boggles with choices. So many beautifull tartans. So many choices. So ... little cash :-? . I browse about the web and keep finding myself saying "Oh, I want a kilt in that, oh and that, and that ..." well you know what I mean. Not to mention the all the various accessories. Might be time to start looking for a part-time job just for Kilting funds.

As the Guinness ads would say: BRILLIANT!

Ever been to the White Lion Pub in Tulsa? I went there back in August 2002 wi' several other kilted lads after a function we were attending at a nearby hotel, and we a GREAT time! The pub staff loved to see gents in kilts!

You're not too far away from me, I'm up in Springfield, and we occasionally make it to the games in Tulsa. I also go to some Scottish events down in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.

Cheers,

Todd

Thank ye all for the greetings. I nice friendly place this be. I think I'll stay.

Be well,
