Thanks everybody! Jock Scot, I believe they had some sort of messenger back then. Since I can't hire someone to talk to girls for me, cellular phones are the next best option.

Macmillan's son, my day did end much better than his. No hooks and splitting my body to send them in opposite directions. ...I hope....-checks body- I appear intact, at least.

Thought you may interested to see my son in his great kilt:

We are in a living history group. This is from an event we participated in yesterday.

The T-shirt and wristbands add a lot of authenticity.

Welcome aboard.

As my 2 granddaughters would say, AWESOME!

From Thurso in the far north of Scotland.

Well done.

Chris.

Looks like you had fun. By the way, William Wallace probably never wore a kilt. The movie Braveheart was full of historical inaccuracies.

I always wear those wristbands.

And the t-shirt, I originally planned on painting some playing-cards black and taping them to the shirt to look like the armor the Scottish wore in the movie. But the other theatre kids don't have a talent for planning (they create headaches among everyone involved...) and I only had about a days worth of notice for the banquet. So I worked with what I had.

Didn't go for accuracy as much as I went for awesome. This probably wont be the last time I dress as Braveheart, either.

I always like an excuse to paint my face in some way or another. If I get to wear a kilt and carry a sword too, I'm so in!

I thought perhaps seeing another kid in the age range of the OP would help to bolster his confidence- help him to see that he's not alone. And yes, I agree- it's a great picture! Colorado's Fjellborg Vikings have threatened to kidnap him on occasion...
