One convert and brought one out from the closet
A couple of weeks ago the Mayor of my fine City (Apple Valley, MN) asked if I would volunteer my services and equipment to provide a large sound system for our summer outdoor concert series. I without hesitation said, "I would be honored."
I spent the entire afternoon today setting up four large Klipsh speakers, mics, guitars, drums, keys and of course lots of power. Mind you, I did all of this kilted in my UK Workman.
The first person to show up was from the parks and rec dept and he said from 50 feet away, "A Utilikilt!" He said he always wanted to buy one, but didn't know where he could wear one. Yada, yada, yada I gave him a UK card from my pocket and he now knows about this site. A convert for sure!
Then a young Irish man walked up to me and told me how much he liked my kilt. We chatted about XMTS (which he wrote down on his hand) and then he left. About 30 minutes later he returned in his Irish Tartan with nice Rabbit Sporran. We stood together for quite some time (sorry no photos) while I mixed the show. He now knows he can wear it to more places than just Irish festivals. Brought one out of the closet.
Kilt On!
