The Iron Heart 20th Anniversary Party

[scooter]

British Airways flight booked … Check
Accommodations at The Granary paid ... Check
EV rental from Volt-Age(Portsmouth) reserved ... Check

All that's left to do is book my train ride to and from Portsmouth, and I'm set. If all goes well, I'll make it to Gos Vegas in time for dinner on Wednesday the 7th...

[Matt]

After spending all our money at HQ I certainly can’t rule that out.

Are Wesco/Good Art/other partners bringing products to sell at the party?

[Giles]

[Nik]

Makes sense that the focus is Iron Heart. Looking forward to it!

All transport is now booked. Wanting things a certain way, my trip has become quite the planes, trains, and automobiles situation. What could go wrong ?

Same. It's in my top 10, all time.

Couple of questions:

1. Can I get shirt snaps pimped at the party? Obviously don't wanna make anyone work, willing to do it myself I guess…

2. Anyone bringing stuff to trade? I'm flying in, so won't be able to bring a bunch of extra stuff, but I have a couple pieces that haven't been worn as much lately that could be cool to pass along at the party (XXL gray/black buffalo check work shirt UHF, 634s 35, maybe trade an XHS 666 34 for same in a 33 or 32?)

[Giles]

1. Yes…..And if you want to do it yourself, that would be great

[Jeansman]

Any spare places @Giles and @Madame Buttonfly ? What is the tally so far? I might be able to do this arriving around 8.30 pm Friday and leaving on Sunday.

[Jeansman]

@Giles and @Madame Buttonfly Is it OK to arrive outside IH HQ by car, at say 8.30 on Friday, and leave the car there until departure on Sunday?

@Megatron1505:

2014 i believe, the Fish n Chips event !

@Chris , he’s 16 mate and significantly larger than the last time you saw him. It’s all protein shakes and lifting weights with him these days  ::)

Indeed it was! I was scrolling through the posts and suddenly there I am  - it is the only one I have been to!

@Megatron1505:

2014 again 

@swiss-jeansfreak put in a brief appearance in time for the pic, anyway!

@Matt late to the party but I quite often tip tattooists. It’s definitely not ‘expected’, and partly I factor in whether I want to get another booking quickly (no evidence it helps but it surely doesn’t hurt). There’s been times with one of the guys I visit the most where I felt that he’s undercharged and I pay what I think they’re worth. Generally I tip around 10% in restaurants unless it’s shit, or doesn’t warrant it for some other reason, but waiting staff are generally paid a living wage and don’t necessarily rely on tips in the same way as they do in the US (though I’m sure they’re very grateful. I often ask before tipping whether staff receive 100% of their tips. Usually a yes but if not I try and slip them cash rather than adding onto a card transaction. I also always tip my barber, not that I go very often these days  generally never tip cabs unless they go out of their way (stopping to get a McDonald’s for example)

Hope that helps.
