Not sure if I can get the kilt to fly at work, but I'll be at least wearing my 'Scotland' t-shirt and will have my Lamont tartan scarf with me. Honestly, the thought of sitting for 6-7 hours on my kilt isn't appealing... too many wrinkles on the pleats for my taste. I'll have some tartan going for sure though!

We in Vancouver WA USA are having a Scottish afternoon. Captmac will be emceeing that event. I will be at work, not kilted, but we have convinced our Portlande AllClassical radio station to play Scottish music, Scottish composers, or works performed by Scots on that day. To catch the radio, log into www.Allclassical.org. You can get it on the internet.

I'll be in NYC on business all week. I'll miss the parade on the 4th (not flying in till the 5th) and can't get away with wearing it during the business day on the 6th, but I'll be out and about hunting for a nearby pub and hopefully, some other kilted folk the evening of the 6th and probably a few other nights that week.

If nothing else, I'll be wearing my tartan scarf to class. I'm not sure if I'm going to take the "kilted to class" plunge. We'll see.

Wore a kilt one time and caught some flack. But, April 6th is National Tartan Day. I'll be kilted.

**JolyStNicholas** · 28th March 09, 10:39 AM

Kilted for sure but in which I don know yet. I hope the new one ordered
gets here on time but you know how that goes.

Did get my new sporran today from Fredonline321. Love the sporran,not much though for the chain, going to make some changes there. Will post a few pictures once I make the change.

The next decision is Where to Wear it. I haven't found anything planned for my area yet.

I call upon all Americans to observe this day by celebrating the continued friendship between the people of Scotland and the United States and by recognizing the contributions of Scottish Americans to our Nation."

I think it's safe to press the issue!
