In the Mail!!

**cgrinder** · 11th December 06, 09:29 PM

I'm happy to pass on my first kilt is in the mail from SWK and should be arriving by the end of the week I presume. So....once I get everything in place I shall take some pics and post them for all to see. Thank you all for giving me the inspiration I needed to go forth with cherishing my Scottish roots and not being afraid to tell the world...

It will be here before you know it. And, you are now in deeper than you realize.

I hope so!! I think I'm gonna be addicted like most of us are to buying kilts and all

Thank you thats nice!! It'll be nice to see some kilts here in GA, as I haven't seen any as of yet

You haven't seen any kilts in Georgia? Seems like that whole run of states: North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia have dozens (if not hundreds) of kilties that are represented on this forum. My wife was kidding me the other day that I'm probably the only Xsmarkser in Metropolitan Chicago...and that 3.5 million people!

But just wait...first it's the kilt, then it's the Highland Games...I'm even trying to figure if I can make it to the Stone Mountain Games next year.

And the challenge isn't deciding on which new kilts to get...it's in explaining why you need another kilt to your wife...seems like an awful lot of them (including mine) think that one is more than sufficient...damn silly notion.

Best

No, to be honest I haven't seen any in my area at all since I've been here (2004) I don't know why it's that way but just has been I guess. I'm new to the forum so I haven't been aware of the other X-Markers that are in my area but now I am, and hopefully we can make a run of it. Hopefully if you do make it to the SMHG we can meet up!!

Well, you wouldn't have been if I had got my act together sooner... I waited until two months after I moved out of Chicago to buy my first kilt ([sarcasm] and I moved to the most kilt friendly state... TEXAS [/sarcasm]).

Anyway, congrats Chris, may you enjoy your first every bit as much as I did mine, and may you enjoy each following kilt that much more!

That may be so, but you're definitely not the only kilt wearer. Do you know how many pipe bands are in the Chicago area? At least 6 off the top of my head.

Are you going to the Illinois games in Oak Brook next summer? You should, it's a good games and I'll be there competing!
