Ok, folks, it's crunch time.

I'm counting 13 people, unless anyone besides Keith plans to bring somebody. Please note today if anybody else is interested.

I am more of a casual kind of kilt wearer. I don't want to wear the hose or other items. LOL I just want the kilt dressed down with boots and I don't want to be insulted OR offend anyone for my dressed down attitude.

What's the opinion? Skip the festivities because everyone is dressed up?

Also read on another thread (happened to be the Alice movie thread) how people are outraged at the Hot Topic kilts. So there...see what I mean? Why not let the young people start with something non-traditional? When they get older and have the acceptance of their peers they can transition with the budget to get something more traditional.

I on the other hand...just like wearing the kilt with boots in an informal way...

Thanks,
Brian

I will be there, but probably not at the Playwright. I am coming in withe the NY Celtic Music Meet Up Group. We are meting at McGee's on W. 55th, then the Parade and then Stout.

I still haven't decided if I will come in early for the Kirking or not.

As a very new member, I'd love to meet some of the Rabble.
