Wouldn’t you like to know…

But @Matt

Is. Camping outside

[Matt]

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

[Nik]

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

[Giles]

Not that I know of I am afraid…...

[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 ? 

[goosehd]

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.

[Matt]

It does, thank you.  I think I’ll just ask.  I’ll play do my American.  I do it here all the time.

Wow long time since my last Gosport visit and I can‘t wait to see you again soon!!!!
