Hey all,

I'm posting here from Albany NY. I've already posted a bit around the board as some of you have seen, but I haven't properly introduced myself....

Hi. I'm Joe. Clan Calquhoun, Kirkpatrick.
I"m a college student (hope to graduate soon) and an adventurer.

Blah blah blah.

I've been a kiltie for about a year (got my first, a "battle kilt" as it was called, from the renaissance fest in sterling, ny). I am a dues-paying member of the Scottish National Party, and I'm doing my best to get out of here.

I have a girlfriend and a dog. I love them both, and they love me back. Without their support (she LOVES me in the kilt, and he growls at people who make fun of me) I probably wouldn't wear it as frequently as I do. I owe them both a debt of gratitude.
