    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Oh yeah, He got it off Ebay and it was his first time in public, he had no idea. His wife said she "thought something looked wrong". I loaned them a blade and helped him with some questions about stuff like sporran straps and kilt belts etc.. while his wife worked on the basting.

    Good for you! He's lucky his wife was with him to "help out". Nice story with a good ending.

    I had him at a slight disadvantage in that with my first kilt I knew the basting stitches had to come out, but I had no idea how to remove them. As I was struggling with the first knot, or two (under a magnifying glass with tweezers), I was thinking "this is going to take hours!". Then I hit the knots that are not knots and I blessed the person who invented them.

    Looks like Tartanic has two new pipers this year. I swear, every time I see them perform, the pipers are different. I wish Mike McNutt would come back...

    It also did not escape my attention that both their pipers are wearing Isle of Skye kilts.

    Thanks for pointing that out! I don't think there was any pseudoscience involved though! More bad typist than parapraxis.

    Tartanic, like the Rogues, seems to have an ever changing lineup! I'm acquainted the fellow on the left, Scott MacLeod. They are both in the St.Thomas Alumni band, which wears the Isle of Skye tartan.

    I wish that were true for all of North America, but I didn't see anybody like Zardoz's friends in Toronto for All Hallows

    At least we can count on him to bring us photographic evidence of all manner of fair witches, faeries, and especially bellydancers
