    Thank you. I really appreciate the compliment.

    My wife and I had a great time yesterday. We had no trouble getting in. Actually, we we better dressed than some of the people there. My outfit got rave reviews from friends, strangers, and the staff at the Magic Castle. I didn't tell anyone at my church what I would be wearing. I only told them that I got a kilt jacket for the event. They were all surprised at how good I looked. Even my sister-in-law, who begs me to wear pants when we go somewhere together, said that my outfit looked good.

    I went to the bar and ordred a Glenlivet 12, and the barteder commented about my outfit and proceeded to pour me a double. He later went in the back, and came out with a Macallan 12, on the house. He said that he felt their price for the Glenlivet was unfair, and he hoped that the Macallan would make up for it. Needless to say, I had a great time.

    After they closed the castle down for the afternoon, my wife, my godbrother and I went down to Hollywood Boulevard. My wife and my godbrother had a great time watching people stare and/or flirt with me. It's true... Ladies love the kilt. Apparently, so do some gentlemen. I had some androgenous-looking goth kid jump up from his table, run over to us, tell me how much he loved my outfit, and ask if I would take a picture with him. I obliged.

    Through the course of the day I got all the generic questions, and I gave many politely generic answers. All in all, I was amazed at how positively people responded to my outfit.

    I didn't take any pictures as the Magic Castle frowns on photography, as they are a private, exclusive club, but my friends from church got permission to take pictures, so I will post pics as soon as I can get copies from them.
