      To keep you all updated on what I actually do with the donations, I have paid for all the Championship belts from Obbigood, and will be investing in refreshments and food (beer and snacks) for anyone attending the Chain Stitch Massacre in Gosport for the arrival of the MBB's.

            The Gosport Chain stitch Massacre - We kick off at the HQ of Iron Heart UK, at some time in March 2013, for a chance to meet up with fellow contestants and see the "Mega Beatle Buster" jeans being hemmed by me, Beatle, Giles and anyone else qualified to operate "Unity", Giles treasured Union Special machine. We will provide free beer, within reason.

            I have an RnR Im planning in March…I will try to work it so I can attend this event. An event date would be GREAT! as soon as one is available of course... (Have to put in the request for my vacation some time this month!!)

              @Giles:

              A modified yes.  We'll discount a shirt/jacket by 10% if shipped with MBB's, but the MBB's are already discounted., so no further discount on them…..

              Sweet. Gonna have to start the post Xmas savings to pick up a shirt.

                Currently working on the weekend of 8th, 9th and 10th of March, subject to the arrival of the jeans. It would be sweet to hang out with you BF  🙂

                      Does 'Unity' come with a Blood alcohol Level meter? Or can I pay extra to have mine done first?

                        Haha, was thinking the same thing.

                        Do we need to hook up a breathalyzer before operation can commence?

                              Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre - Good News/ Bad News

                              The "Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre" will be our first official HWDC2 Event, it will be held at the headquarters of Iron Heart International in Gosport England, and will be a chance for anyone who can make it to meet, drink beer with and hang out with Giles and Paula of Iron Heart, Beatle and me from the HWDC2, and any other competitors who make it to see us.

                              Good news - the event will be held on the weekend of the 30th and 31st of March, it will be a 2 day event as it is the Easter Bank holiday in the UK. Beer will be provided, as well as soft drinks, and maybe some crisps, ha ha. You will get to see Giles masterfully craft perfect hems with his trusty machine "Unity", and you will get to see me ruin a lot of expensive denim and write apology letters to angry patrons. Paula is working on the fine details, and we will assist with travel arrangements or accommodation for people travelling to the event.

                              Bad news - due to schedule conflicts of both people and product, the jeans will more than likely not be in some peoples hands by the 1st of April. However, as many of you already know, the IH shipping is extremely quick, and we will aim to have everyones orders in their hands by then end of that week (April 5th). As this is a 2 year contest, I hope that is not too much of a delay.

                              Of course, if you can make it to the Chain Stitch Massacre , you can take your freshly fucked up hemmed jeans with you on the day. I joke, all hemming will be perfect, and the beer will be cold. Hope to see some of you guys there.

                              ** Chances are that if you are based in Asia you may receive your MBB's before us in Europe or the USA, this is because your MBB's will be despatched and hemmed by TSS in Singapore…..but no wearing until April 1st  😉

                                          For anyone travelling from London/ Heathrow/ Gatwick to Gosport for the Chain Stitch Massacre, the best routes are:

                                          • fly into Southampton airport, which is approx 30 mins away by taxi (or train to Portsmouth Harbour)
                                          • fly into Gatwick and get train directly from airport to Portsmouth Harbour (takes about 1.5 hrs)

                                          Other options:

                                          • Eurostar to London, then underground/taxi across London, train from Waterloo or Victoria
                                          • fly into London Heathrow, but travel to Portsmouth via coach is long journey - over 3 hours I believe

                                          Accommodation:

                                          Spring Garden Guest House, cheap and cheerful and very close :
                                          http://www.springgardenguesthouse.co.uk/

                                          There are some other hotels/B&Bs in Gosport, but they are a taxi ride away and don't look great, so alternatives I would recommend are over the harbour in Portsmouth (approx 20-30 mins away from IHUK on foot via Gosport ferry):
