Saturday was the Rockstar Mayhem Festival in San Bernardino, CA. It was a long day with lots of people drinking, rockin' out, and having fun. I was wearing my Murray of Athol Ancient 5 yard 13oz wool kilt. A black leather sporran, no kilt pin (to ease going through security) and black socks (not kilt hose), and Converse AllStars for shoes.

I saw four other kilted gentlemen there consisting of:
- One Utilikilt
- One traditional wool kilt (who was also wearing Converse shoes)
- Two crazy looking punkish kilts with zippers and buckles. The two with the very alternative kilts were hanging out together in a group. I didn't take a camera, so, no pictures, but these kilts were different. Very baggy, as I said, a zipper in the front, and lots of little loops and pockets and such.

I had one military (Airforce) guy and his roomate mention to me that after seeing me wearing a kilt they were bummed they didn't wear theirs.

A girl came up to me and said she would love to have a kilt. Asked where I got mine. Asked where she could get one. I was wearing Rocky's USA Kilts Tee-shirt so I mentioned them, among others. My lady even mentioned the OC Scots fest to let her know where she can go to see a lot of kilts up close and in person.

I got plenty of compliments. I overheard a lot of talk as I walked around, and then the occasional fly by, "Nice kilt," or "Kilts rock," type thing. Not a single negative comment.

I had fun watching the show and showing off my kilt.

Highlights and review:
- Red Fang was awesome.
- Megadeath wasn't there... Dethklok was their replacement. If anyone knows who Dethklok is, I'd try to see them if they ever play live again. Dethklok is a cartoon metal band from the TV show Metalocalypse on the Cartoon Network. The live band was just as, if not more brutal than the TV show.
- I don't care for Disturbed's or Godsmack's music... and they were very lackluster live.
- I was told the Trivium was a great band, but they were most disappointing. They sounded out of it, the singer was off, it was all very sloppy.
- Straight Line Stitch was pretty good. They have a female lead singer who can growl like no other. She can sound pretty mean, but then her regular speaking/singing voice is quite nice.


And here are two pictures from my lady's phone:

You can kind of see my kilt in this one, we were sitting on the grass waiting for a band. Her little brother jumped across the back of the picture


And a shot of the two of us... plus proof of the USA Kilts shirt.
