The pics of @Madame Buttonfly's face on the roller coaster with no seats in Bush Garden's is the funniest of the lot, from memory

aww. the pleasure is mine @Megatron1505
the kanreki has been the highlight this year as it gave me the excuse to go back to the uk for a holiday since 20 years ago. right when @Madame Buttonfly mentioned it at the end of 2016, i knew it was all or nothing and boy am i glad i went.
Huge thanks again to her for organising the event and i remember how enthusiastically she was looking forward to planning it when we were in Rayong. it was amazing that i got to meet the bulk of you boys from europe and america. (in no favourable order) @rocket @trail and arrow @Chris @UnTucked @neph93 @Alex @Cole @swiss-jeansfreak @Adam @Winchy
it was nice getting up for the karaoke with steffen and chris as well. what a night to remember.
now.. 2018… you mean there's a soCal meet up?!?! why have i not heard about this? well, anyway my plans is to head to NYC by late fall early winter. this is my personal target and goal i've set. As much as i'm an anglophile since high school with the british bands and music i listen too, NYC has always been a dream and if possible would love meeting up whoever's on the east coast of the USA.
although i'm pondering heading back to the uk because i miss the bunch of you guys. and i'm too in love with england

Looks like there are two SoCal meet ups @louisbosco , the first one early in the year where you get to hang out with all the important folks at Iron Heart, and the one in August where you get to drink beer with me and whoever else I can drag out to Rock n Brews in Buena Park
-
hmm… don't think i'll be taking my chances with you.. :-\
-
Probably a wise move
-
maybe you should come to new york. sounds better when you're taking your chances with me -

Mega are you going to the first SoCal meet up? I'd like to make it to one of these and would prefer the more laid back getting drunk and making a fool of myself option….which sounds like it might be the August trip.

The second one isn’t a meet up @manufc10 , it’s my family holiday where i’m happy to meet up with forum members to drink beer and eat burnt meat products in a restaurant owned by KISS

Gotcha. That sounds like a good time and IIRC it is right round my bday as well (August 26th).
-
See you in Buena Park then dude
-
Yeah really incredible how fast this year is almost over already.
It was so awesome to attend Giles legendary Kanreki party!!!I always love to visit Gosport and jogging around thete as well.
And do you really plan some US trips Mega?
My last US trip was 20 years ago
I would love to travel there again -
I will add that it was great meeting everyone at Giles Kanreki, some I have known before, and a lot of new people. I will now take the opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Or a Happy Happy to what ever you celebrate.
-
Out of curiosity…. Will there be any representatives of IH attending the quinquennial Harley-Davidson Anniversary Celebration, in the week leading up to Labor Day ? Every 5 years, the population of Milwaukee increases by several hundred thousand, that week. It's always a good time, and I'd cerainly be down for meeting any of the Crew, or the Army.

Looking ahead to next year I’m eagerly anticipating a Spring meeting with my arch nemesis/ man I love like an estranged brother @Seul , over beers and bacon. Then later in the year I’ll hope to meet up with a few SoCal based members of the Iron Heart Army in Los Angeles, I need to break the news to @seawolf that Mrs Seawolf has agreed to spend a day at a theme park with us on his behalf too, so he gets first shift on the biggest roller coasters.
Yes!!!!!! I love rollercoasters
@Madame:
Nice one @Megatron1505 - I can't believe that 2017 has gone so quickly, doesn't seem like nearly a year ago we were celebrating your birthday with the Trons and Chris plus family on New Year's Eve 2016! Do keep us posted on your US visit plans, I am desperate to visit San Diego for the first time and @seawolf has (very foolishly) offered to host us when we finally visit!
The guest room is ready for you and there are some marvelous fish tacos and great beers within walking distance from our place!
-
Good job @seawolf , because I’m terrified of them
