The Iron Heart 20th Anniversary Party

[goosehd]

Ok, how many of you are buzzing with excitement?  Clock's ticking and the party is getting closer and closer…
Bags being packed, passports being checked, reservations being confirmed...

Yup, this week is dragging already!

it'll drive me nuts waiting and counting down like that. I rather keep sane for now hahah

Funny story…my sister in law waited until the last minute to pack for a trip with her girlfriends, got to the Airport (2 hours drive) with about 3 hours until her flight departed.  Went to check in and discovered she forgot her passport at home...phoned up the husband (brother in law) and asked him to check the dresser for her passport.  It was exactly where she left it.

He managed to get it to her just in time for her to make it through security and board the plane.  He was furious...(she has a tendency to do this kind of stuff).

We’re staying at the airport hotel tonight, 6 am flight in the morning

locked myself out the house because I forgot the keys and got stuck in the garden because I didn't have the key to the front gate.. so I was stuck till someone with my spare key arrived. good thing passport's not on that forgetful list yet..

My buzzing is over, just learned the visa process is further delayed, so I’ll never get it in time to join you.

Will miss the chance of meeting this great crowd this time around but I’m sure they’ll be more opps. Hope all of you have a fantastic time at the anni party. I’ll enjoy it from here reading your comments and poring over the pics!

I was so looking forward to spending time with you again - last time was too short…..

[EdH]

Safe travels @Matt. I hope you enjoy what the forecasts are saying will be a week of the very best storms England has to offer!

Mercifully, the current forecast for Saturday only has a 7% chance of rain according to Dark Skies.

My preferred weather app - because apparently now, as a "boaty" I know what the fuck I'm doing…...

I’m really sorry to hear that @motojobobo

[Matt]

Looks like the party Gods have smiled for now…

I don't want to hex this, but we have never had a party at IHQ without the weather being good.  The worst we have had is when is was too hot

On my way to the airport ️

I’ve never travelled with a bag that empty that is so heavy at the same time…
