| 30 | Lust</h2> |
| 31 | |
| 32 | <p class="first">Once upon a time I went to see <a href="http://eluveitie.ch/">Eluveitie</a> on a little tour called |
| 33 | <a href="http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa">Paganfest</a>. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and |
| 34 | they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my |
| 35 | very own.</p> |
| 36 | |
| 37 | |
| 38 | <h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a> |
| 39 | Goodbye Money</h2> |
| 40 | |
| 41 | <p class="first">A few months later I decided to purchase a <a href="http://www.utilikilts.com/index.php?page_id=30">Workman's</a> <a href="http://utilikilts.com">Utilikilt</a> as it |
| 42 | appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After |
| 43 | much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of |
| 44 | nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it |
| 45 | in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.</p> |
| 46 | |

| 55 | <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">Such a lovely unbifurcated garment</td></tr> |
| 56 | </table> |
| 57 | |
| 58 | <p>The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds) |
| 59 | and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty |
| 60 | penny I spent for it.</p> |
| 61 | |
| 62 | <table class="image" width="100%"> |
| 63 | <tr><td align="center"><img src="img/photos/kilt/unpacked-spread.jpg" alt="Why it appears to be a skirt of some sort" /></td></tr> |
| 64 | <tr><td align="center" class="image-caption">Why it appears to be a skirt of some sort</td></tr> |
| 65 | </table> |
| 66 | |
| 67 | <p>After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon |
| 68 | my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything |
| 69 | they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is |
| 70 | quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is |
| 71 | subjective), and it <em>is</em> handy to have my tools on my kilt when working |
| 72 | on my <a href="My%20Bicycle.html">bicycle</a>.</p> |
| 73 | |

| 82 | |
| 83 | <p>I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I |
| 84 | must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a |
| 85 | kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more |
| 86 | kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.</p> |
