Awright? How you doing?

Im new to wearing Hielan' style clothing, but of course as an adult on our modern world Ive had some exposure to Caledonian fashion and customs.

My name is Declan, a good Irish name which was exceedingly rare to be saddled with when I was young, but which has become much more common to hear in the past 5 or 10 years...but I really only have the faintest of actual connection to things Irish or scottish. Despite that, I do feel connected and so Ill proceed with that.

Im proud to join the Kilted ranks, and Im happy to have found such an informative forum!

Welcome Declan...I'm from Walsenburg, south of Pueblo.

Howdy Rondo, Im living in Broomfield at the moment, and Ive lived in the Boulder County area most of my life.

I did spend a year in Pueblo a decade or so ago (not by choice), and Ive passed theough Walsenburg many times!

Welcome to the XMTS Community Declan! Ah Broomfield, now there's a flatland of Colorado location, not quite like the western part of Boulder proper eh?

Welcome from the mountains of northern New Mexico! Declan is a fine name, whether Scots/Irish, or not. I hope you enjoy the forum.

Hahaha, yes...West Boulder indeed. Broomfield is definitely under the influence of the Boulder Bubble. I've lived amongst the foothills enough during my life to avoid being labelled as a "Flatlander" I hope, current geographic location notwithstanding!
