    Thumbs up Good CH News Coverage

    Hey Steve,

    Just wanted to say I saw the CH TV News piece about you and Freedom Kilts a few days ago (I've only just been online since then!). Seemed to be a very positive article, especially on the positive attention from the ladies. Congratulations!

    I really must get around to dropping in soon!

    KP.

    Thanks KP,

    For those from out of town, the local TV personality Gordie Tupper called me at 10:30am on Robbie Burns day and said that he and his film crew would be stopping by in about an hour to do a live interview.

    We did a live thing for the noon news, then a more indepth interview for the evening programs.

    I got Gordie into a kilt and he went around our little village interviewing women on the street about what they thought about men in kilts.

    All in all I don't think I came across as too much of a dork. But I'm not good at delivering sound bites.

    Now I know at least one person saw the interview that day.

    I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Is a copy of this broadcast available online anywhere? would be nice to see a fellow Xmarks-er in action. plus interesting to see what the women on the street had to say as well.
    ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!

    As far as I can find out, our local stations do not put small things like this on-line.

    It was just a filler piece on a day when they thought they should have "something" about a kilt.

    I was able to tape the three episodes but haven't found anyone to convert it to digital format that I can post somewhere. (Wouldn't know how anyway)

    Until KP posted I didn't even think anyone had seen it.

    There is probably someone closer but if you want to send me a copy of the tape I can get it to digital.

    Thanks for the offer Cavscout but I don't think the cost of postage would be worth the benefit of seeing my ugly mug for a minute and a half.

    I'll ask Gordie for permission to post a photo of him doing the weather in a kilt.
