[BronxKilt]

Hey Yall,

New to kilts, I wore one for St. Pat’s day last. I had told my boss that I wanted the day off and she politely declined my kind offer of not burdening her with my presence. I then said "Okay then, I'll come in a Kilt" She did not believe me, but come the 17th there I was (admittedly in a Sports Kilt) in all my kilted pride. The reaction was, to say the least, spectacular. Any time you can silence a hall full of 8th grade students is a special time. I had plenty of conversations about being Irish, why kilts were cool etc. I then wore again for Tartan Day, and again the Friday because it was my buddy’s birthday. I was starting to reach, but the comments I get and got are worth it. I now am waiting on a FK and got a UK from Ebay. (Survival, Basil AWESOME). I believe said kilt will be my travel companion up to Montreal; it is a pre-wedding celebration for a Firefighter Friend. It should be interesting.

Just Happy to find such a merry "Band of Brothers, for he who wears a kilt with me today is truly my brother." With apologies to Willie S.

The, ah, Boogie Down as my friends like to say. Not a long or proud tradition of kilts around where I am, but an amazing level of tolerance (or apathy).

And Thank You all for your kind welcome(s)

Welcome from the all too warm coastal plains of southeast Texas.

you gotta meet up with my kilted krew at some point. one of the biggest laughs i have had in recent memory is of the looks (and the attempts to hide the same) from the NYCers as a buncha guys in kilts, black boots & heavy black jackets (it was winter) got on the L train to head out for a night of carousing
here is a bad pic taken with my camera phone


and heres another taken by one of the kilters who had had a beverage or two too many (yes there is such a thing)


we are planning another kilt night soon - hope you can join us!
