Kilted Birthday Party

[uncledelphi]

Sounds like a great time was had by all, did the people at the party know before hand that you wore kilts at all?

I think they all knew beforehand that I had a kilt, and a few had seen pictures of me wearing it, but I don't think they expected me to put it on for the party! I am known to be a very conventional, conservative, and dare I say Orthodox person, so the kilt is a great departure for me. It's good to shake up the routine once in a while.

Nice work, Austin. It's always fun to get that first look of unbelieving "What in the wide world of sports are you wearing?" stares from the new folks, isn't it?

Hey, if you can't wear a kilt at your own birthday party, where can you?

The pipes probably helped to break the ice too, I'd think. People are more comfortable with kilts if bagpipes are involved.

That is most certainly the case. I know folks who would roundly condemn the kilt if I were to wear it outside of the piping (or Celtic music in general) context. Such a pity.

Austin,

Well done! Indeed it is good to hear of the acceptance of the kilt by everyone.
