So if you've read some of my previous posts and those of Kilted Code Warrior, you will note that we both managed to make it kilted to Celtic Fest in Chicago over the weekend.

And this was the first time I wore the thing in public and it was, indeed, not at all unusual and it was pretty comfortable and I don't know about anyone else but I thought that it looked pretty damn cool.

So I understand that one of the basic precepts of this group is that the kilt is not a costume to be worn only to Highland Games and Ren Faires and Celtic Fests...so I promise to abide by that and find other occasions to wear it out. Fortunately for me...I'm usually to be found at events where academics and their like congregate so that ought to make it a bit easier than wearing it into one of these South Side Chicago shot-and-a-beer joints where you'd swear that time stood still somewhere back in 1959...but I don't preclude that as a possibility...I've not only been thrown out of better joints than those but I've also personally thrown people out of better joints than those.
