Meeting and eat and drink
$5 for lots of beer and some breakfast food

Kilt Fest Begins!
Admission is $20 if you buy your ticket at Fry’s, $22 at the door.

Things to know:

This year’s free-for-all is being shadowed by a meetup group called: “Unofficial Plaid at the Renaissance Festival Day.” This means that we should see a lot of non-kiltfest people also wearing plaid.

We are working on bringing back the topless money collector this year.

No bus this year. We have quite a few non-drinkers attending, so we will use them to shuttle our intoxicated asses around. Sorry, our bus man left town.

Don’t openly drink in the parking lot. Its a great way to kill the party in a hurry. Gatorade bottles topped off with vodka are a great way to stay hydrated and get plastered in the parking lot.

The Tradition Continues (2002-2010)

Posted by Bigdonkey in history | Comments Off

After that small first year, things took off. Hundreds of men have attended Kiltfest in the last 10 years, with our biggest year bringing in over 40 attendees.

There have been some high points and low points throughout the years: one arrest, some axe throwing awards, one racist cop, some amazing jousts and of course, a topless girl collecting money in 2010.

The tradition continues…

Kiltfest the first (2001)

How did Kiltfest start? Where did this ridiculous event begin?

In 2001, after years of brooding, we realized that the only reason the renaissance festival is a pain in the ass is that we kept bringing our girlfriends with us. “Hey buy me this crap” “ooooh a metal rose” “I need fairy wings.” Bullshit.

The renaissance festival is swords and axes and dudes hitting each other with furniture. We will make it fun. So we left the women at home, and snuck in some plaid. We left the porta potty area dressed in our little plaid skirts and had an awesome time. We knew this was the beginning of something big.

The second year. This is where it really got wild. The group doubled in size, and we really started organizing.

dcp_8052Some things to know before attending
1 What does a Scotsman wear under his Kilt? Pride (or lipstick)
2 Why do Scotsman hump their sheep at the edge of cliffs? So the sheep push back.
3 A Scotsman walks in the house with a sheep under his arm and says: “You see honey, this is the pig I was telling you about.”
His wife responds: “You’re so drunk, you don’t know a sheep from a pig.”
The Scotsman replies: “Hush, I wasn’t talking to you.”
4. Scotland – where men are men and the sheep are nervous.
5. Why do Scotsmen wear kilts? Because sheep can hear zippers.
6. Why are Scottish racehorses so fast? Because they see what gets done to the sheep
7. A man was being tried for fornicating with a sheep. The prosecutor asked the key witness what he saw:”Well, I was walkin’ along, and saw this sheep just’a eatin’ grass. And then this fella walks up from behind the sheep, real quiet-like. Then he raised his kilt, and pulled the sheep close.”
“And what happened after that?”
“Well,” said the witness, “they sorta shook for a couple of minutes. THEN, afterwards, the sheep turned around… an’ licked him!”
Just then one of the members of the jury leaned over to the jury member next to him and said, “You know… A good sheep’ll do that.”
8. What’s the difference between The Rolling Stones and a Scotsman? The Stones once wrote “Hey you, get off of my cloud.” While a Scotsman once said: “Hey McCloud, get off of my ewe.”
9. A guided tour passed through a small country town in Scotland one of the passengers noticed a sheep tied to a lamppost on the corner in the main street.
“Oh that,” said the guide, “that’s the Recreation Center”
