I never thought I'd try on a kilt, let alone wear one every day (thanks to the rather relaxed dress code at my office ;-) ) I tried on my first Utilikilt last year on the Friday before Memorial day at an event in Chicago and it has led to a dozen more since then.
I've got a few Utilikilt...
Kevin,
It was a real treat getting to meet you at the show, and I can tell you had as good a time as everyone else, and I hope you can make it back next year...in the meantime, see you in Chicago--probably not wearing the red kilt, though, LOL!

I'd like to add Kevin Yost to the list here. I met him at the 1997 Columbus pipe show--he beat me to a Ser Jacopo MaximaMaxima bulldog, and I haven't let him forget it ever since, LOL!

Howdy there Chuck!
Much as I love my Old Boys, getting to the bottom of a tall bowl (like that bottomless Ardor cobra, LOL!) seems to be problematic for me using one of those. I'm glad you got it to work, though :-) The barbecue/candle lighter option isn't a bad one, as are the fireplace...
The Dunhills are pretty amazing, haunted! The Luciano Pokers are absolutely beautiful, as is the Gilbert pipe, Bob :-)

Wow--those are some pretty awesome pictures, everyone! This is a(n, admittedly lousy) picture of my PAD purchase from the Chicago pipe show and I hope it didn't turn out *too* bad...
Those are some great photos! It took a while to get through all of these (I finally joined after lurking for a few months, and now that finals are done for the semester...) I don't have anything 'recent' to share here, but I found a picture a friend of mine took at the KC show in 2003. Having...
Howdy all,
Is anyone here planning to come to their show? It's a bit of a drive for us from the cornfields of central Illinois, but I've been most years since they started (1998-2003, 2006) and it has always been a great time!
Woohoo! The show will actually be after my final exams for a change :-) (not that it ever stopped me before, but it's one less thing to feel guilty about, LOL!)
