    Invited to opening

    Last night I was invited to the opening of a new restuarant in town. The owners are my clients and I did some work on the place.

    It was a fairly up-market affair with many representatives of our business community attending, including the mayor.

    I wore a new green polo shirt with my logo embroidered on it, with a black watch USAK semi, green hose and flashes.

    I guess it's a sign of my growing confidence in myself that I was not in the least conscious of being kilted.
    The mayor is used to seeing me kilted, he's also patron of our pipe band, my bank manager was there and I had a chance to tell him how I saw the kilt fitting into my business image. He understood the importance of marketing and getting known in the area, I told him how being a kilted signwriter helped greatly in that regard.

    All in all it was a good promotion for kilts.

    Hey, I just got it - the national dress. Too funny.

    You are definitely an Ambassador of the Kilt Graham. Keep up the good work!

    Ah, but if every man in Tasmania wears a kilt, how will Graham's business stand out?

    Still, it would be fascinating to be able to go somewhere where the kilt was "normal" & trousers the exception.
