The highest profile Scottish event in the world

[Irish Jack O'Brian]

...at least that's how they're billing it Dressed to Kilt 2011 - April 5 - New York City.

Their theme, "country chic" should be interesting. I applaud the charities that they are supporting.

[M. A. C. Newsome]

For the first time ever I will be in attendance at this event. I'm looking forward to it, though I have been told by my host that I should expect to be up well past my bedtime. lol....

It says, "Attire: Something Scottish or Something Country", sounds like just another Texas Scottish Festival.

An interesting perception JD. When I read that "country" bit, I thought brown brogues, cord trousers, tattersall shirts, tweed, Barbour jackets.

I understand completely. Different paradigms. When I was planning for my road trip to Scotland in 2003, in which I would hire a car, I thought I was prepared for the different paradigm. Before I left, I looked up the Scottish radio stations on the Internet so that I could pre-set the car radio stations. I saw the category "Country" and thought, 'wonderful, I'll be able to listen to some Scottish folk music rather than the ubiquitous pop'. But when I got to Scotland and picked up my car, I turned to one of the country stations to here none other than Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash.

And an even different paradigm for England... Frank Turner is a contemporary guerilla folk/punk-folk musician and often refers to himself as a "skinny English country singer". (Plug time - his music is really good if you are like I, and a grown-up punk-rocker/skin person) ((linkie).

Oh, how cool! We expect a photo with Sir Sean! Seriously, I look forward to your review. The Dressed to Kilt event seems like such a zany mix of Scots/American/Celebrity mashup with fashion that I expect it will be one of those over the top affairs.

Clarification is needed, though. Will Matt be doing "his little turn" on the catwalk?

[Galician]

Oh, great, Matt! Will you be staying for the parade? It would be great to meet, either just myself or some of the local rabble.

Can I place an order you could bring to avoid shipping charges?
