Damn - of course I have to be out of the area this weekend... :cry:

Mostly Venturing (the US coed scouting program for the 14-20 year olds). Thankfully there's a lot of leeway in the "uniform" for that, and the folks in that age group are very kilt-appreciative!

Ah, my favorite quote from the movie: "Here's a good stick to beat the lovely lady with." They just don't make them like that any more... :wink:

Retired US Army (just over 20 years)

Great shot, Ron - how long did you mess with the garter ties this time trying to get the frays to stay "dressed right?" :wink:

No "hearth attacks" in mine! We're ALL gonna be rich, retire to the South Seas, and wear kilts all day! (Of course, I don't know who will make them once all the XMTSers and their suppliers retire. ...

A great looking pic, the subject of the discussion notwithstanding!

And why would the leaf of an Ohio Buckeye belong on a hemp kilt? :wink:

And it's FINALLY gotten warm enough (and dry enough) long enough to get her out on the road a few times!

Just don't teach her how to power up the table saw... :wink:

Nope, it was definitely a movie where a bunch of rich adventure seekers are going to hunt down some poor schmuck and a "back east, upper crust" type woman exclaims "A man hunt! How exciting!" Now...

"A MAN hunt - how exciting!" (OK, really bad sound bite from an even worse film... and I don't recall the title.)

Have always had an affinity for varmint hunting - though what passes as being...

Ah, and we all thought the "Miami Vice" look was long gone and dead... silk t-shirt, raw silk blazer, and this kilt?

Yep, or you could always give him the gift of soap... delivered repeatedly and with great vigor from within a boot sock. (And I thought all my "blanket party" leanings had long since been purged...

(and many more that are a lot more interesting)

check out the end of the Phoenixville Celtic Festival thread (pages...

Great shots, Ron! Glad you're enjoying your US Army tartan - mine went to the Phoenixville PA Celtic Heritage Festival this weekend (and then on its maiden voyage into the washer - too much dog...

OK, that pretty much does it for my pictures of the festival... I didn't get any of Albanach or Enter the Haggis on the street stages - but if you ever get the chance to see either group live, take...

And last, but certainly not least, Ashley MacLeod and Neil Emberg.

And of course, there were the stage and street performances.

The Pride of Erin Dancers (I believe):

And there were some interesting sights to be seen among the bystanders as well!

What festival would be complete without spying an interesting kilt pin?

AND of course, what trip to Phoenixville would be complete without a trip into USA Kilts.

I was given the rare opportunity to capture an image of Rocky and the "mystery woman" (who made me swear...

The Brian Boru Pipes & Drums (from King of Prussia PA) performed - some shots of them in front of the USA Kilts shop.

There was a nice assortment of vendors and street entertainment in addition to the evening's shows at the Colonial.
