Hi KiltSocal, welcome to the boards, from another SoCal kilter.

What part of Socal are you in? If its anywhere near the city of Orange, I strongly suggest you take yourself and your kilt to the Orange International Street fair tonight or tomorrow. (Orange circle, where all the antique shops are)

Great big fun event, and I'll be there tonight. You can find me at Ireland Street when American Wake is playing. I'll be the guy in the kilt.

And dont worry about your roommate. He may laugh now, but just wait until you take his girlfriend. Or if he doesnt have a girlfriend, just wait until he sees the attention you get from other women. He'll come around then.
