Fun at a conference

**janderson** · 30th June 11, 06:18 AM

Went to the opening session of the Grottoes of North America supreme council last night. Had a real good time and thought the rabble on here would like the picture I got of the Grand Monarch. We had a nice discussion about kilts before the event and I promised to wear mine for tonights dinner. Picture is a little blurry (quick shot on my phone) at the hotel in Dearborn, Michigan.

That is a SHARP look.

Curious, are those sort of double flashes? One high and one low on each side? A new look for me.

Last conference I was at was heavily female and one lady kept passing me suggestive notes about my kilt and what I might be wearing or not wearing underneath. Worked out very well - made a new friend and we got to know each other very very well before the conference was over. Gotta love kilts at conferences!

I believe, if you look closely, that the lower "flashes" are the ends of the laces on his ghillies. He is wearing them tied to the side.

Were you the only kilt-wearer?

They are the laces of the brogues. He ws the oy kilted one last night. I didnt wear mine because I wasn't sure how the organization would take it.

This years Grand Monarch is always Kilted at any events I've had the pleasure of attending. I always wear a Kilt to Grotto or Lodge events. I was not able to attend the Big convention this year due to my work schedule but I thank you for for the Pic so I can see what I missed!

To bad you couldn't be here. I'm enjoying the fellowship amd taking advantage of the opportunity to be kilted.

I'm past Monarch of O-Ton-Ta-La (05) and current Chief Justice.
