Kilted in Carolina

[Kiltedmusiclover]

I've been lurking about for a bit and figured it was time to say hello, so hello! I've been wearing a kilt for about 5 or 6 years. I currently own the clan tartan and a black Utilikilt. I'm a convener for my clan and while I feel obligated to "show the colors" I often opt for the Utilikilt as most games in our state range from "hot" to "extremely hot." ....

Macism,
Welcome!
Always good to have another Carolinian on the forum.:mrgreen:
What games do you usually go to?
There is a good chance we have crossed
paths as I attend quite a few myself.

Im also a Carolinian, but from the South side...

North Carolina, eh? Me too. Haywood County, home of kilted hiking.

I want so badly to have a Greenville Kilt night so I can get in on the action.

It'll never happen.

Nobody around where I live wears kilts. Lots of people claim to wear them, and I bump into the occasional St Andrew's member, but nobody actually wears kilts out in public as casual garmets. There has been a couple of guys wearing school girl skirts though, claiming them as kilts.

I feel so alone.

Awful lot of homophobes around here though that think wearing a skirt means you must be gay. Some of them chose to learn the hard way to leave me the hell alone.

Sharkey's downtown is a great pub. And there is Connoly's Irish Pub, but that is not a great place to go. To many drunken brawlers looking for a fight. I know the good places to go have a dinner though.

Greenville, NC or SC?

Because I know at least one guy in Greenville, NC that is likely on the fence about buying his first kilt, and will probably do so after being an eyewitness to a kilt night in Durham in October.

As stated already in this thread, South Khakilaki.

Never say never!
If we plan it out far enough out I would be able to make it.

I don't know if this will help, KW, but one of my favorite responses to the implication that wearing a kilt makes you gay is "Well, most of the gay folks I know wear pants." That will deflate a lot of those folks quickly.

Of course, admitting you know gay folks in some places doesn't help, so use that one at your own risk. You know better than I how things are in Greenville.

Now that's one that I will have to use!

Honestly I'm a little apprehensive about what it's going to be like when I move out to a rural part of NC, outside of Durham, where even driving a VW Jetta might be enough to tip off the locals to the fact that you're not "from around here".

I'm a big feller which has helped me to avoid a lot of confrontations in less-tolerant parts of the Philadelphia metro area, but them good ol' boys can be pretty ornery when they want to be.
