So, I am out in the LA area for work this week. I heard about a local pub called Maggies, a Brittish pub, that on Tuesdays has a special - after 9pm, all draft beer and well drinks only $2, so I had to check it out. I went wearing my Stillwater Irish National. I walk into the pub, and of course am the only kilted person there. No real surprise. The bartenders, all of whom are Hispanic, were a bit surprised but thought I was the coolest thing.

As the evening went on, turns out 95%+ of the patrons are also Hispanic. A lot of looks and questions, but again, everyone was very positive. Toward the end of the evening, a couple of African-American guys came up and said, "So, what's up with this kilt thing?" My response - "It's a comfort thing - comfort and freedom!" They laughed outloud and said that they loved it!

So, the kilt proves itself yet again - it's power crosses cultural boundries!

Just thought I would share.
