Welcome from upstate NY. Enjoy!

Welcome!

I joined the forum just a day or so before the June gathering at the Tipp, but I had a previous engagement that night. I'm looking forward to getting out there, but it looks like it'll be September before I'll have a kilt of my own to wear.

Kilted or no... We'll accept the trousered as well. If you just want to come and hang out for a while, we have a good time.

I was living in Norcross at the time.

Greetings all, (or should I say Howdy y'all?) especially to you X-Markers in the DFW area. It's good to be in your company. I've taken two steps forward this fine day by letting you know I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks and also by ordering my first "real" kilt...a USA semi-traditional in the Clark/Clergy tartan.

Howdy! and

I discovered my Scottish roots about seven years ago and had set my sights on the seemingly unattainable goal of having a custom, wool kilt made. It seems that the semi-trad from USA will do nicely until my ship comes in (or all the kids quit coming back). Oddly, my motivation for seeking all of you out and going for a good fitted kilt came from a show I'm in where I play a Scotsman and wear a kilt. It's a sport kilt (the costumer had no clue about kilts since they typically outfit 1880s cowboy types) and I enjoy it for what it is, but years of attending Highland games told me it just didn't fit like it should.

Hey, maybe some of you could come to the show when I'm performing. I saw in the archives that Richard Jordan came to our show (kilted) last year and said he had a good time. It'd be great if a few of you could make it out in your kilts and blow the minds of the rest of the cast. We're doing the Murder Mystey dinner theater at the Gaylord Texan and everyone else wears authentic 1880s western wear (of course they think they're dressed perfectly normal, but me in a kilt...). Maybe we could set up a date for a gathering!

Anyway, its good to be in your company.

The next DFW gathering at the Tipp is July 11 (normally first Wednesday of the month, but in July that's the 4th). Post a link or let us know the details about your theatre at the Gaylord . . . maybe we can set something up.

p.s. as a measure to help with the jonesin' until September . . . you might consider one of the inexpensive kilts from Frugal Corner or Stillwater

I'll put the 11th on my calendar. I may be teaching a class that night, won't know until next week.

I butchered the X-Mark members name who came to the show last year, it should have been Richard Johnson. Here's his post: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=15820

We just started this new show June 1st. This is the first time they've had a character that wasn't some sort of cowboy. I'm a Scottish Major who served the Confederacy in the war, so I have my kilt and an officers hat. It's a pretty funny show and the audience has been great. My fellow actors won't let up about the kilt, however. That's why I thought if a few guys showed up in their kilts it would be an interesting twist for the cast. It's the kind of thing a lot of people go to for an anniversary or a special date. Dinner (great buffet!), the show, gratuity, and parking for $55. If someone was looking for a special evening out anyway it would be a lot of fun. I know for sure I'll be there the first two weekends in July.

Unfortunately, the kilt I ordered will pretty much be it for a while. One of my daughters is getting married in August.

Uh, what's Jonesin'?

Good to hear from everyone,
Mark (too)

It's good to know there are other Texans on the site.

From what I've seen, there are quite a few of us.
