That's so odd; I was at the Indy Irish Fest today, which is what, 3 hours southeast of Chicago and there were plenty of kilt vendors to go around! In fact, Military Park is extremely small, maybe two acres at best, and in addition to five or six traditional tartan kilt vendors, there were two more flogging Utilikilts. There were also plenty of women's long tartan skirts and kilt-related T-shirts.

The best one? 'We kilt the last guy who called it a skirt!'

There was also a fairly good number of festival-goers who were kilted, more men than women and even a few youngesters. I only saw one person wearing a homemade quasi-kilt and only one lady wearing hers backwards. ( I did tell her it was on backwards. She tried to turn it around, but when she couldn't she just shrugged it off. )

There were even a few little lads who had obviously liberated a few of thier dad's spare kilts for the event. I truly wish my camera had been working when I saw a seven year old boy with a kilt reaching his ankles and his father's tam drooping down around his nose. So cute!

I know! All the kilties came to Indy this weekend! Must be Gaelic Storm fans.

Hey, I'd be up for trying heavy games! I don't know how good I'd be at the caber toss; I'm secure enough in my womanhood to admit that men really do have greater upper body strength. But I'd be up for everything else!
