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.

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.

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.
