Would it be improper to wear a kilt in a Generic Irish tartan to such an event? My clan tartan won't be here in time  |

Cool. Wasn't sure how picky people would tend to be  I don't personally distinguish much between my Scots and Irish blood.
Might not make it to the one in Austin, but with any luck I'll be at the one in Dallas.
