The Iron Heart 20th Anniversary Party

@Chris:

I dunno, @neph93 and @hajduk did take him to that really sketchy pub and make him watch Premier League football.

You were there too… as I recall as more of an accomplice than a fellow victim. Either way Scott is now an avowed Red so we did him a favour really [emoji1]

I do remember reading about that during the time and isn’t that where the joke of a Norwegian, Frenchman, and Texan go into a bar started.

I’m sure the inside/back stories are hilarious.  @scooter has been quite quiet about it though.  (PTSD or sworn to secrecy)

Important precision, [mention]neph93 [/mention] is Welsh. Big Reds supporter. And very well integrated into Norwegian society[emoji18]
And he got the accent from the Bodø region. Impressive!

[Giles]

Oh yeah…...

So we still need to see if my father in law can come out here to stay with the kids and the dog for a week, but if that works out (or a plan b) then Katie and I are in!!!

[Matt]

If we make it and any of you speak to my wife please tell her you also thought Jason Momoa was supposed to be there.  I may have stretched the truth a bit in my efforts to get her in board.

I believe he's single now, so you might be playing with fire on that one.

[Matt]

It’s fine.  He’s both of our marriage mulligans so someone’s getting a pretty special vacation.

Father in laws on board.  We’re going to try to book flights and hotel tonight.  We need passports.  I hope I don’t have to pay extra to have them expedited.  Anyone know the current wait time on processing those?

[Chris]

We just got new ones for our kids a couple of months ago- only took about six weeks or so.

[Matt]

Nice, thank you.  This is such a big deal for me.  I’m going to spend sooo much money while my wife is banging Aquaman.

[Matt]

Flights are booked!  Tuesday to Monday.  I can’t wait to see everyone.

@Matt we just did expedited passports and they got them to us day-of, like 3 hours after we went into the office. We have an expedited passport center here in Denver (Aurora, technically: not sure where the closest one to you is–I think there may be one in El Paso). Expediting was a $60 premium and it was like $300 all-in for two passports.

You have to have an international trip within something like two weeks (say it is an important business trip) and you have to make an appointment. Definitely come with passport photos (can get those at Kinko's) and make sure you have all the requisite documentation. So we booked a flight to Mexico, got the wife's passport updated and the daughter's issued, and cancelled the fully-refundable flight.

There are third-party services, but I'd rather just save some money and go to the feds.

Even if you don't really need an expedited passport, I don't trust how slow everything can be with COVID and think it' worth just going to a passport agency and getting one day-of.
