Walked into a restaurant last night. As I came in the front door another customer was leaving. He asked "where are your bagpipes?" I told him I left it at home because it was too hard to eat dinner holding the pipes under my arm. This is the place where there are three waitresses that expect me to wear the kilt when I come in. After dinner I went to a local classic cruise in. On Friday nights a number of classic cars are put on display in the parking lot of a shopping center. The kilt is always good for generating conversation that would have otherwise would never occur. One lady asked if kilts were becoming more popular. I assume she must have seen others recently. I must have talked to her for a half hour. That conversation would have never taken place without the kilt. I have found the tartan kilt generates more comments then the contemporary kilt. Last night I had on a USAKilt semi-traditional in Holyrood tartan worn more casually.

The only negative was a group of 20 something boys, unsure about their masculinity, must have felt uneasy around their girl friends. They gave out a few cat calls which I ignored.
