Greetings all,

I want to say that today being the St Patrick's Day Parade in Denver, you would think people would be more supportive than they were.

What band you play with? was a comment from one gentlemen already toasted by the Guinness, I said no band, just like to don the kilt. Oh yeah he said, you should be a band member or you are just plain weird. I said I am just plain weird and walked on.

Had a few lifters or want to be lifters, but the comments from Magnus' thread he started, aided in those responses and gave me a few huffy comments directed at me, but I kept on going.

After I met up with a few of my non kilted mates, the rudeness seemed to stop. In fact no more comments of rudeness directed at the kilt. For all the weird and rude comments came from those who were trying to impress their friends (male and female) about how "big" they are, so I was not really surprised and knew how to handle it, as I have been since being kilted.

The parade by the way was such a wonderful event. A beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky and just a gentle breeze to keep the temperature very comfortable. Yes it was a lovely day for a parade
