Hmmm. That sounds like it could be a good time, Frank. I think I'll go since YOU are recommending it! You ARE a genius, you know?!

I may go to this. I haven't decided whether to wear a kilt, but I will be the long haired guy in the 2003 St. Pat's Day shirt!

Dang! If I wasn't sitting over here in the Middle East right now, I'd be enjoying this Festival. Maybe next year.

Lots of kilts at this years festival. Amerikilts had a booth and were selling a lot of kilts. Get Shirty kilts were being sold at another booth. And the music was great. Particularly, Barleyjuice. Great show. guys.

I intended to go Saturday, but eventually went on Sunday, at the end of the festival, and brought my son with me.

He is now the proud owner of a flat cap! He is 15 and was wearing jeans and a shirt with a pattern made up of skulls, and yet somehow the flat cap looked right with those clothes. I think he may be contemplating the idea of getting a tweed jacket. I don't think he is likely to want a kilt any time soon, though.

So, the $35 kilts I saw must have been from Get Shirty, then? That's cheaper than they charge online. I think they are at least that many pounds, plus P&P (postage and packing, which Americans insist on calling shipping, even when it's by air or across dry land!).
