A warm Scottish welcome from middle England.

Looks like the kilt night in Toledo will be on Aug 20 at the Claddagh at Franklin Park again. 8pm is the usual time things start rolling there. I'm getting ready to post a thread on it and to put it on the calendar.

Hello and greetings from Akron, Ohio.

During the warmer months, I'm a full-time kilt wearer. Even when decked out in tartan kilt, hose, etc, etc, etc I still get the occasional "point-and-laugh" thing. The old saying is right -- you can't fix stupid.

Wear your kilt with style, wear it with confidence... and consider that sometimes added some of the traditional kilt touches[1] can help more people realize its a kilt.

I think my worst experience kilted happened in Cleveland, where someone brought their car up on the sidewalk, trying to run me over, while shouting homophobic slurs. After that -- I can deal with laughter.

[1] Sporran, hose, flashes, that sort of thing. Not required, but it can head off trouble.

I just might be inclined to show up even though I don't drink.

You won't be the only one there that doesn't drink. JAnderson can tell you my reaction last time I tried drinking. (And later ended up giving him the rest, basically a full glass)
