    The snag is most of the guys were in cheapie versions which is wise for a night drinking and generally getting plastered. But cheapie versions catch the breeze more readily. Not that this girlie is complaining, nor are any of my friends...

    Never fear, no pictures are suitable for sharing on a family site!

    Well, that would explain it. And it makes a lot of sense... I would never, ever my nice kilt to...say... see Iron Maiden when they hit Glasgow. Not that I wouldn't give just about anything to see them with a stadium full of Scots...

    I wore my tank to see Iron Maiden in Phoenix not too long ago!

    I do shindigs in Indiana, Hoot'n Annies in Illinois, festivals in Missouri, occasionally in Canada, and barn burnings in Kansas...all I can say is, Wind Happens.

    'tis why I have a sporran that is almost 18" long to go with my great kilt...

    I wore my 5 yard Colorado State. Good lord, those boys know how to bring down the house! I've not missed a tour since 1985, and they sound better and better every time I see them!

    Me in my Japan t shirt from the Final Frontier tour:



    All proceeds from the sale of this shirt went to the Japanese Red Cross.

    Well, I've never been to Phoenix, but I'd say in comparison that Glasgow would be more like Tombstone in the time of Wyatt Earp, LOL!

    You seem like a girl after my own heart!


    I want them! I want them! Yes, the photos and the players! Real men in kilts?This is like holding a cup of water just out of my reach whilst I thirst in the desert!

    Can I send you my email and you send me them? Love to uh, meet the team.
    I don't care if they are smart or not, I can put a paper bag over their heads if they have ugly faces, I don't care if they are married or not, don't care if they are married with children even...

    Please, share the joy! By the way, Hello! (:

    Rock of Cashel, Ireland -extremely windy on the day I decided to wear my USAcasual. Even with kilt pin and sporran I was forced to hold my kilt down. I personaly don't have pictures to share, but others were only too handy with camera and video.
