Rick, just find the pub and a night that a Celtic Music act will be there. Searson is another local to you, and they are wonderful. Nice people too.
Once you have a few guys interested, just go! There's NOTHING formal or planned about these things usually. It's just a matter of joining-up in a predetermined spot... in kilts. It's that simple of a concept. For that matter, get a couple cases of beer and a grill, and have a time on your patio/deck.
Make it like any other casual, social night out... just wear kilts. We've been doing this in Philadelphia for a long time and never called them "Kilt Nights" until XMarks came up with the designation. We would pick-out where our favorite bands were playing, get a few cars loaded with guys (and significant others) in kilts... and GO.
two quick points
1) Jimmy is spot on about kilts nights. Just plan to meet up, and find a good pub. Try out a few different dates, and venues, and see what everyone likes. Once you have a good set up and a favourite location, then discuss specials and advertising with them.
2) I would have to disagree with the "Kilts Night" designation coming from Xmarks. Vince Hemingson set up the Vancouver "Kilts Night" about 6 months before Xmarks came on the scene. Since then, that's all we Vancouver boys have ever called it on kiltmen, Tom's (when kilt wearers were allowed), Xmarks, and others. I am sure they have had these nights in numerous cities for ages, Vince just gave it on online name. I should add that Vince also came up with the design for UK's survival kilt after his expedition into Borneo http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/
Just my 2 bits.
