    Oh agony!

    There is a Greenville Kilt Night coming up next weekend. (Destination still unknown)

    Some small dispairing voice tells me I wont have any new kilts for this one either. What is the point of kilt nights if you don't have a new kilt to wear on the town?

    Damnit, I wish kilts grew on trees. Life would be so much better.

    Not to worry, Dread, I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you even if they've seen the kilt before.

    You might just to have to start making your own. That way you can have a new one whenever you like. Not quite the same as having one made for you (at least the way I make them) but still a lot of fun to create your own.

    I've made 5 now. I recently made my first "construction worker" type. It was all math and mirrors for me but it turned out really cool. Funny thing was, the only way I could envision it was to make a prototype out of paper towels. My partner thought that was hysterical but it worked for me.

    I agree, anyone attending the Greenville Kilt Night will be thrilled to see YOU. Thanks for brightening our days with your honest and funny threads.

    I understand your dispair. But, as everyone said: they'll all be thrilled with your company.

    For special events it's always nice to have a kilt they haven't seen before.

    But the point of a kilt night is to wear a kilt and as long as you do that's great!

    I had a mental image of Hamish taking the same tack and claiming he didn't have a thing to wear!

    The guy (or gal) who grafts a kilt tree is going to make a fortune!

    It would be fun would have at least two or three Kilt trees in my backyard.

    Yet I would rather be spending time with you Dread than not being able to be with you.

    Hear, Hear! Even an old kilt is better than a new pour of trousers!

    A kilt night sounds like FUN!

    Just don't forget that a properly attired genlteman not only wears a kilt but a hand made TAM as well!

    have fun
