Now THAT would have been fun!!! All of us sweaty athlete types piling into the theater to see BRAVE, en masse.....awsome!

I went with Mrs. Tree Tosser last weekend...kilted, of course. I even wore a dark blue Jacobite shirt. Nobody batted an eye!

Took my daughter to see BRAVE yesterday. As I was going to take her to see the movie after I got out of church I was already kilted. To show her own level of bravery, my duaghter came to Antioch to see the movie with me on BART alone from San Francisco. I met her at the BART station here and took her back to the station so that she could go home. I had quite a few comments regarding my wearing my SWK Black Stewart: was there some kind of function, was there a meeting of The Caladonian Club, was there a meeting of the St. Andrews Society, etc. When I explained that I regularly wear a kilt to church and was going to tak my daughter to see Brave I got a lot of "That's so cool" and that I was dressed appropriately. It turned out I was also dressed appropriately for the hot weather we had over the weekend as well.

Went with my brother, his family and my dad a couple of weeks ago to see it. Brother and I were kilted. Met a couple from Crieff here on vacation. I liked it so much that I had to share it with my lovely bride who was unable to go the first time. Kilted again, of course, but this time at a small town theater. Lots of looks and smiles with some "Hi's" thrown in.
I picked up a lot the second time that I missed the first time. I can't say if the movie is that quick, or that I'm just that slow, but it was just as enjoyable the second time, and my wife loved it. Already on our must-have DVD list for our grandkids' visits.

Went to see "Brave" last thursday kilted. I was kind of waiting for the ticket agent to asume which movie i planned on seeing but no reaction whatever from anyone staff or public at the theatre. I stayed for all the credits thinking at least it I could listen to the music and was pleased to see the postlog scene. The staff politely waited to start cleaning until I turned to leave and only asked "Did you like the movie." In a sense, no reaction to the kilt is the best reaction.

I'm seeing it tomorrow with my wife (likely the last movie we'll see together in a while since my son is due to be born around august 15th), not kilted unfortunately since I'm waiting for some money I loaned to be returned to me so I can not only order the Black Watch I sent back again but also like the Douglas modern and Hamilton Grey. Not sure yet which of both I'll order.

I've turned my head every time I saw a preview of the movie on purpose; I hate seeing half the movie in under two minutes at home. Really looking forward to it since I first saw the teaser late last year (during the last "Potter" movie I think)

Went to a midnight showing on Thursday. I was quite surprised no one else was kilted for a midnight showing, though one person said afterwards, after seeing me, he wish he had worn one of his kilts.

Not being an everyday kilt-wearer (and being in Texas), I was also surprised there were no negative or awkward remarks, even standing in the ticket line. Only positive ones.

We went also with grand daughter, wife and my 3 sons. Oldest Son and I were all kilted and all but my wife were proudly wearing the clan Mcphearson shirt. Positive atomostphere for being in the central valley of Calif. all in all there were 3 more people I noticed who wore there kilts to show
Movie was great, good story line and yes not cutsey at all. would love to see more

Went with my wife, daughter, son-in-law and grandkids. No big deal for me to go kilted, since I am usually kilted, but it was my son-in-law's first time out in a kilt. He is fairly introverted, but he managed a good kilted swagger for the occasion! I think a lot of the children there for the movie got a kick out of seeing some ACTUALLY wear a kilt in person.
