A Chicago bar, The Bottom Lounge, had a "Beers of Summer" tasting on July 1. Since that was also the anniversary of the Repeal of the Proscription... it seemed like a good time to throw on the kilt. Here's my wife and I from that night:

What comments I received were very favorable. Yes, I am wearing a jacket despite it being July. The weather has been that weird in Chicago this year.

While there, we met the owner of Delilah's (turns out my wife knows his wife), a bar that has arguably the best selection of whisky in the city. He liked the kilt, and will definitely remember me because of it. Hopefully that will pay off in the future.
