I often thought of getting a great kilt but summer (which includes spring and fall here) are brutal but maybe some day..

I've just moved from Montana (your username suggests you may be acquainted with the local fauna) to Las Vegas. Now, THAT is hot. Paradoxically, when Las Vegans step out in the evening they're often overjoyed to escape the brutality of the indoor air conditioning. However, I imagine my kilting will diminish greatly between early June and mid September. I did purchase a nice tweed waistcoat from St. Kilda in Glasgow to hide my suspenders if I ATTEMPT encasing myself in a wool 8 yarder.

I've been to the local Celtic Society's website, but it appears comatose, and I fear the late spring highland games that used to be well attended here are no more. Perhaps I'll at LEAST be able to find a Burns Supper in January.
