Yesterday afternoon I went down to Old Town Alexandria (VA) for the last event of Tartan week - The National Tartan Day Celebration of Music. I enjoyed a few pints, a couple of drams of good whiskey and pipers. Not to mention more kilts in one place than I've ever seen.

There were all sorts of outfits from full semi-formal daywear to ultra casual. In fact one guy had on a denin kilt (looked like a high quality one) with black boots and (you know the biker wallet w/ chain?) a biker sporran . I noticed at one point coming back from the washroom that his T-shirt said Edinburgh Harley-Davidson.

Had an interesting conversation with another guy about the benefits of box pleats vs. knife pleats.

Stopped at the scottish shop on the way back and picked up some hose & flashes.

All in all a good day.
