Kilted in Carolina

[macsim]

Macism,
Welcome!
Always good to have another Carolinian on the forum.:mrgreen:
What games do you usually go to?
There is a good chance we have crossed
paths as I attend quite a few myself.

Well, job situation permitting I usually do Loch Norman, The Celtic Music Festival, Grandfather Mt., Triad, Flora MacDonald and Waxhaw. I think there are probably 10 or 12 events by now in NC alone where we could pitch our tent but time and money (and energy!) run out at some point. I've been waiting for nearly a year to find out if I'm being "outsourced" at work and there's no timetable as of yet so everything this year is on a game by game basis. It's a lot of work but a lot of fun too. You can find me at the Fraser tent.

North Carolina, eh? Me too. Haywood County, home of kilted hiking.

I want so badly to have a Greenville Kilt night so I can get in on the action.

It'll never happen.

Nobody around where I live wears kilts. Lots of people claim to wear them, and I bump into the occasional St Andrew's member, but nobody actually wears kilts out in public as casual garmets. There has been a couple of guys wearing school girl skirts though, claiming them as kilts.

I feel so alone.

Awful lot of homophobes around here though that think wearing a skirt means you must be gay. Some of them chose to learn the hard way to leave me the hell alone.

Sharkey's downtown is a great pub. And there is Connoly's Irish Pub, but that is not a great place to go. To many drunken brawlers looking for a fight. I know the good places to go have a dinner though.

Greenville, NC or SC?

Because I know at least one guy in Greenville, NC that is likely on the fence about buying his first kilt, and will probably do so after being an eyewitness to a kilt night in Durham in October.

As stated already in this thread, South Khakilaki.

I did not realize you were that close Freedomlover.
Do you make it to any of the Highland Games??

Never say never!
If we plan it out far enough out I would be able to make it.

Macsim, I will be sure to look you up at Grandfather.
Who do I need to ask for?? Mac??

I have pretty much given up on Grandfather Mountain. It has gotten too big to be fun, and you can't get close to the atheletic field anymore. I used to throw the hammer and wrestle back in the 70's and it was a lot nicer then. But I'll probably make the little Franklin games this weekend. I want to see one of Matt Newsome's box pleated kilts up-close and personal.
