Hm...I have tyhe us army casual from usa kilts...wed nights would normally be out, but I'm on vaca the 2nd week of july, so, that may be an option. You going to the highland games saturday?

I might be able to pull something off. Let me know the specifics so i can check my calender. We are way over due for another kilt night, so some classical music followed by a bit of bar time might just be the answer.

Update:

It was a wonderful concert but I never found another kiltie in the crowd of over a couple thousand. Did have a very funny thing happen on the train going home though.

I had brought one of those bag chairs with me to sit on at the concert. When I got on the train I placed the bag up in the overhead bin. One passenger said, "Don't put them up there. Play us a tune!" Another chimed in saying, "Yeah, that would be great." I went to reach for the bundle but then I turned to them and said, "I'd better not. I haven't been able to tune that chair properly for weeks."

Isn't it funny how everyone who wears a kilt is also supposed to be able to play the bagpipes. I guess I'd better get on the stick.
