I am encouraged by the support of these boards, it's great to be a newbie and seeing the feedback.

I got a kilt (AmeriKilt) at the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem PA, and I have worn it regularly since. (After work, weekends, etc.) My wife got it for me, and thought I'd wear it for Ren fairs, Celtic Classic, etc. but I can't see wasting it as a "Costume".
She's getting used to it, and so are some of the people in my community! I get strange looks at the Walmart, Grocery store, oh well, I don't mind.
