A while ago I posted on the UK yahoo group an estimate of how many people owned UK's. While I don't remember (and can't find) the actual numbers I worked out, it came to something like 1 in every 300,000 people in the US own a kilt that they wear regularly (meaning at least once a week, as opposed to just to Celtic events). Sure enough in Cincinnati that translates to about 8-10 guys in the area. I personally know of about 6-7 (some on this board), and have only once run in to someone in a kilt accidentally (ie just going about daily business). On the other hand, I have personally sold well over 100 UK's and the Cincinnati, Dayton and Dublin Celtic festivals, and given away several 100's of cards on the streets (and talked to others about PK, AK, SWK and USAK as well as XMarks).
The kilts are out there, but we're still a very small minority. My prediction then was that it would be at least 10 years before seeing a kilt randomly was at least a weekly event.
