Binghamton parade day
I wore my kilt to the Binghamton parade day saint Patrick's day parade. And i got a bunch of different reactions for a parade full of pipers i was surprised at how many people would stare. I got stares, People taking pictures, people taking pictures trying not to let me see they were taking pictures a few compliments on my kilt and beard. Saw some guys wearing field hockey skirts, a guy commented on my kilt kinda like a hey we are both wearing kilts kind of thing but whatever he was wearing wasn't pleated. A young man came up to and shook my hand and said "hey your the first person i have seen in a kilt in the crowd" with a thick Scottish accent. He was also wearing a kilt with a nice formal or semi formal sporran.
It was a good time there were a few pipe bands. our local band Broome County Celtic pipes and drums, New york city emerald society, A fireman pipe band. and a couple others.
There was a really cool Saint Brendan parade float too it had a boat that rocked from side to side and a wale that shot green white and orange confetti out of its blow hole.
I'm hoping to see the Boston parade in a couple weeks too.
