Kilties in Minnesota

If you think 30's to 40's at night is cold enough for you.
You will NEED your heavy kilt.
Mall Of America is a good place to visit. If you want other suggestions of places to go, just ask us MinneSNOWtans and we will be glad to offer suggestions.

This past winter was the first for me kilted. I wore an SWK wool. Even at -20C or -4 F I was much warmer kilted and bare knees than I ever was in jeans. Believe me I'm not Candian born and I curse the winter. Wool is your friend, hose, kilt and sweater. Have fun.

Come Grant, tell the truth! When it really gets cold, you sneek a pair of your wife's pany hose out of her hosery drawer and put them on first, then the kilt hose and flashes, and then the kilt!!!

Didn't some American footy ball player do that a while back? Blart Star or Joey Namathy?

Speaking of pantyhose....Many years ago when I was enrolled at the University of Southeast Asia, some of us used to wear pantyhose to keep the leeches off. It was somewhat successful. But when I went back to school in the States and tried to play football again, the trainers provided pantyhose for several reasons...keep the cold away, help prevent grass and rug burns and to assist in preventing muscle strains. (Remember, always get the kind with the cotton crotch!)

Silly question but will it be cold enough for a 8yrd trad...remember I am from FL so 60 is cold to me

We'll have to plan a North meets South Kilt Night at the Mall!

Any other MinneSNOWtans interested?

Sounds good to me I'll have my son with me so it will have to be a family adventure. Wife will be off doing what ever wedding stuff she has to do.

Send me a PM on his age and what type of things he is interested in and I will see if I can come up with a list of alternative things to do.
I'm in for a kilt night, along with my Kilted Beloved.
