Wearing your kilt to other cultural events

[turpin]

Look at it this way - for Octoberfest you can get a German American Heritage kilt from Rocky, and the Greek soldiers formal dress outfit is "kiltish". IRIC, the original Celts, or Keltoi, in Greek, were anyone north of them who wasn't Greek.

A bit off topic, but amusing nonetheless...

I wore a kilt to the Harry Potter release party at a local bookstore. I was accompanying my daughter, who went as Ginny Weasley, complete with robes, wand, and Hogwarts tie. MANY people asked me what character I was supposed to be! They were all convinced there was a kilted Scotsman in the book somewhere, and they couldn't quite remember his name...

I wore a kilt with my badger sporran to a HP opening party at Borders. I overheard one girl ask a friend "Why is he wearing that", to which she replied, "The bager is the mascot for Hufflepuff, dummy!"

And I learned that night that the badger is the mascot fot Hufflepuff.

I wore just that (my USAK German American Tartan) at a German American Sports Club event and received nothing but great comments and lively dialog with a gentleman in Laderhosen regarding displaying and preserving ones cultural roots.
