The kilt really leaves quite an impression

We were at the Tap-In in Grapevine, Texas. It looks pub-ish (very cozy, actually -- small, but nice decoration), but it doesn't have much of the pub-like feel to it that I'm used to if that makes sense. It feels more like a sports bar in disguise to me and doesn't have a lot of single malts, sadly. I'm used to sessions going on when we hit our other usual places, and the night we went to the Tap-In some guy on a guitar was singing cover tunes (definitely not Celtic music)....

The Tap-In is a great place. Though a bit of a hike, we have gone up there several times and always had a fine time. They have a group there once or twice a month called "Maximum Acoustic" that is worth planning around.

A kilted gathering there would be great fun!

I've only worn my kilt a few times in public, and I've only had one guy ask me what my Tartan was. Now I'm in a Sportkilt Irisher Universal tartan, I wish it had a shorter name.

I went to the local Memorial day Parade in town. A bunch of us from church always waaatch parades in the same spot. Just as the first faint notes of the pipe band are heard, everyone looks at me and says Hey Frank, here comes the pipe band.. I wasn't wearing my kilt because I had my Red, White and blue shirt on. I figured it would clash with the kilt.. So I wore jeans. ---Actually they were Frank's.

If you didn't have a kilt to go with your red, white and blue shirt, you obviously need another kilt. Maybe a solid color - black?

I live in a NC town called Knightdale. I've never seen anyone else in a kilt except for my son and I. He's not kilted often but I'm a regular. I also attend a Southern Baptist Church. Kilted of course. You should have seen the looks the first time. I would have to say oour town is just new to the idea.

I'd have to say that North Carolina in general is a very kilt friendly environment. A lot of us are Scotch-Irish -Welsh descent and the highland games are plentiful and popular. I have noticed that WOMEN are kilt fans,but girls are not...perhaps a maturity issue?

About three months ago I started out wearing my kilt to tend bar at the American Legion post I belong to and I run into a lot of the same thing. As soon as they see me not in I kilt most ask "why no kilt today?".
So they definitely leave an impression on people. And at least around here it is always seems to be a good one.
