    Few Pictures Around Chicago

    Just wanted to share a few pictures from my continuing weekend in Chicago.

    At Lollapalooza looking down the "alley" towards some of the stages:



    Fountain at Grant Park:


    Both of those are wearing my tan AmeriKilt. And a funny note, I got more comments on my Dropkick Murphy's shirt than the kilt!
    These next ones are in the X-Marks kilt on the sky deck at Sears Tower:



    And I just had to do the "Ferris Bueller":

    Great pictures, KT, and two very nice kilts there. Co-incidentally Chicago was in the news here in Scotland today as American Airlines have announced they will be ceasing the direct flights between Glasgow and Chicago from October. But there will still be plenty of flights to Glasgow and Edinburgh from many other US and Canadian cities so no excuse not to visit Scotland.

    Which is sad news for me, as I liked flying through O'Hare better than the Continental option of Newark, or the US Airways option through Philadelphia.

    That's nuts. I was just in Chicago wearing my Black Stewart kilt all week. As I was driving out, I saw the Lollopalooza taking place. It looked like a blast. Aren't Chicago people wonderful about kilts? I got so many compliments.

    Nice pics, thanks.

    So that's the view from the top of the Sears Tower! I've always wondered . . .

    Say it ain't so! Darn, I'm starting to plan my trip to Scotland for Oct 2007 & was planning to catch an overnighter from Chicago to Glasgow on American 'cuz my wife's family is in Chicago & figured we could get in a brief visit between flights. Oh well...

    Thanks for the photos, KT. That's pretty amusing about the Dropkick Murphys t-shirt. I always enjoy visiting Chicago to see my in-laws. Great music, great food & plenty of Celtic culture. (I just don't care for the winters.) Looks like you had a great time.
