    So many JP denim heavyweights in those bar pictures. Looks like good company…

      why does this year's event doesnt feel that packed? i remember it being much more crowded last year.

          Fantastic pics, this event is definitely added to my "must do" list.

          Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

            Looks more nicely spaced out this year IMO. Last year's photos look like a more crowded space, this year looks like each vendor has more space…which is a good thing 🙂

              The gong ringing looks wonderful. Such a big bell, imagine it sounded out of this world. Really great photos G. I know it's not easy to keep a camera on hand, but I'm really enjoying the insight behind the scenes.

                  There were 3 or 4 less brands here this year.  It made a massive difference.  We got more than 2 times the area that we had last year (partly because we all realised we needed it)  We still did not have enough space but now I'm getting greedy 🙂

                  Tentatively agreed with Chnanon today that an event for Iron Heart once per year is not enough, we will do an intermediate Iron Heart only party.

                  It will be in both Bangkok and for the first time Chiang Mai

                    It is totally amazing.  It's the only place outside of Japan that you will see this lot together socially.  And it is seriously special, because they don't feel the need to position themselves (if you know what I mean), they let their hair down and really enjoy each others company.

                    I overheard 2 of the big boys comparing notes on the problems they were having with their production.  Simply unheard of…

                          And then of course there is the obligatory, "get up on the big stage and make an arse of yourself"…...

                          Pre event discussion:

                          G "Haraki, do you want to say anything
                          H "No"
                          G "Thanks partner!"

                          This year, I decided I wanted to get the crowd rowdy, this is my "Good Evening Bangkok", done Robin Williams styley routine....

                          You may notice a cool Japanese dude in shades, saying fuck all in, the background…....

                              Interesting photos Giles especially the salt works. It's 30F and snow on the ground here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in case you're up for a little schadenfreude…

                              @steelworker such a great time here but I am excited about getting home to cold weather (well by our standards, certainly nowhere near freezing!)  The contrast of high rise, swish hotels and shopping malls and the backstreet sights of our cycle tours was quite something.

                                  It was funny when it rained @twin we got soaked before we put the plastic raincoats on - and we were already sweaty - so they stuck to our skin, yuk!

                                  Have decided after taking 2 x 20 km cycle rides in Bangkok in my stride I really should get my cycle out more often in Gosport

                                      when you all decide to go, i'll hop on a plane there. meet up is a must especially when most of you are +8hrs a time difference away.

                                      more space, more crowd, 2x as chaotic and busy. haha. it is a good thing though G. the fanfare there is amazing.
