Lunch at the pond…Tripleterrors dad is awesome - he needs to get a short leeved light blue chambray and shall be announced secret boss of the forum. Fun talking to him, the man knows his soccer

And Roger - a pleasure to meet you - and Simon - you are an excellent driver - thanks again for making the detour and dropping us off at Heathrow…

Hectic got more fade in one day on his permanent TW's than in the 3 months of overall wear

let's see the party hanky/bandana

[Simon]

Awesome party, it was great to meet everyone and put faces to names. You won't find a nicer, more down to earth bunch of people than those at "The Castle" yesterday, brilliant 

Giles & Paula, Thank you very much: the party, the food, the drink, the company, the clothes, even the weather, all just perfect.

[hectic]

Great to see you Simon. Did you snag that CPO?

[Simon]

You to Hectic. Yes I did pick up the CPO, now I've got it home I'm not so sure about the colour. Beatle suggested asking Haraki-san to overdye it, which actually really appeals.

[hectic]

I thought it worked. Maybe you could do a DIY overdye like I did - oh wait, no don't do it…

Beats the fire was not alight….G

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thanks all for the great pics and lovely messages.  We had a fantastic weekend and brilliant afternoon/evening yesterday and the only thing that would have made it even more perfect would have been to have Kiya and Demitra with us (missed you guys!)

Thanks so much to everyone who came, and of course to those of you who couldn't come but posted good wishes.  BIG shout of thanks out to Beatle, Landocal and Shoque for all their help with shopping, barbecuing, ice making and tidying - the house has been full of wonderful high fun, low maintenance guests!

Very sad that it's suddenly all over so quickly, but at least we have Landocal and Shoque here for a few more days, so we've a good excuse to carrying on partying a little (although tonight I am already in bed - very sober and very tired!)

We've already starting talking about the next one…

THANKS AGAIN

       

[SimonQ.]

Are there pictures of the IH-Aero-collabs?

[Seul]

Landing in a foreign country can sometimes be intimidating, but not when your arrival party looks like these two…

And look who came to greet me at the front gate…

We headed out for a bite to eat. Some serious royalty was in the house…

Welcome to lovely Gosport, UK…

I may have to open up a Lando's (Denim Bar) out here in Gosport. These guys need some competition…

Those of us who were there on Saturday night were lucky enough to have a private showroom session from "The Boss" and his #2, Ayumi (TW) all upcoming products for IH/ TW…

I know you all want to see the goods, so here are some teasers…

More photos will be available in the IH Pipeline Thread shortly…

This is what one may look like after 5 hours of sleep in 3 days, 20 pints the previous night, a few time zones difference, and a head full of new IH Products…

[Tripleterror]

Democratic decision making, great.
Beats, do you ever look tired, I don't think so. Thanks for the kind comments about Triple Senior, I can't keep him quiet about it, he sends his love to everyone.
I didn't take too many pictures but here's one in the Castle's most important room, I think it nees a name, suggestions?
The Denim Dungeon ?
