So I can understand the snobbish part o it, though my wife did say she liked me wearing the kilt.
We skipped Altamont because of the weather and I've been bumming all weekend because of it. Congrats on your first kilted outing.

Regarding Chris Webb's comments above, Ren Faire nerds crack me up. The only thing worse than snobbery is snobbery combined with ignorace. I always laugh (internally) when I see one of those guys at games with his "kilt" halfway down his shins and wearing some big, floppy hat and a drinking horn on his belt. I never say anything, though, because nerds have a right to dress as they please, every bit as much as I do.
