      After all the drama I hope everyone was sufficiently refreshed!

      The timing was no good for me this time but I’d certainly try to make it if you do another pop-up.  Not sure if this is on the cards or if you’re firmly in “never again” territory at the moment  🙂

        I am pretty sure we will.  @Alex will post a brief update in the pop-up thread at some point.  But very briefly, out goal was to break even, our main aim was to get our stuff in front of people who have never seen the stuff or simply wont buy online.

        We broke even by halfway through Thurs.

        Lots and lots of new customers including people who were just passing by.  We had one lovely lady come in yesterday afternoon/early evening.  She popped her head around the door and asked if it was a private party.  When she was told no and that it was a shop and she could come in, she expressed surprise because " everybody was looking so happy and laughy and obviously enjoying themselves".  She left with an Ultra Heavy Flannel.

        First 2 sales yesterday were Trophy leather jackets, those sales simple would not have happened online.

        I basically did the square root of fuck-all, so I have not borne the brunt of the logistical and planning nightmare.  But doing it again, definitely gets my vote.

            Hey guys! I hope I didn't make too much of an ass of myself last night 😬😂 I should not ever get that drunk again I don't think.

            I can remember laughing quite a bit. I accidentally took this screenshot and it made me laugh.

              sheeeeitttt missed this one again! Saturdays are tough, cause the start time is like 2 or 3pm my time, and the wife is back to working on Saturdays so I'm at home with the little ones.

              My 5 year old has been getting into denim and how it fades (on his Carter or whatever jeans we bought second hand). I've been showing him how different the knees coloring is becoming since it was new. Also have been showing him how some of my denim has progressed just in the last couple months or so. I usually don't wear the same pair of denim two days in a row, to keep a good rotation and let them air out/dry out, but the last month I've been basically wearing one pair every day  for a week straight, then switching it up. He has noticed how different they look!

              tl;dr: my 5 year old will likely be on the next call, and will likely be wearing my jeans when he fits into them.

              Wants List:
              IHSH-20-Red, XL
              IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
              IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
              IHSW-45 Black, M
              IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
              IH-777S-SB size 32
              IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
              IHJ-142-BLK or IND, M

                      Completely agree with both comments. Hope to make it later. I was a bit unsure about the first time but now usually join and stay far longer than I intend (hopefully not longer than I’m wanted  :)).

                          is the turkey still running about the kitchen?

                              17 lbs is no joke.

                              if that turkey were denim, it would be at least the 21oz variety.
