      I'm just back from the IH Party, and it was great to catch up with everyone, and meet new people.

      I'd like to add that I definitely approve of the new hiring strategy at Iron Heart that requires team members to have family members with impressive baking skills. @Bailey's fiancée Briony (I hope that I've got her name right) and @Josh's mother both brought along some great cakes.

      The presence of dogs at the event was also welcome, and I didn't mind that @The Web Minions's beast Rupert was a bit boisterous.

      I also need to replace my red and black jumper, because I've worn it at the last two or three events. 😃

        @EdH A long post, indeed. And rightfully so!

        @Jcaz6996
        I loved the „garden of fades“. Well done!
        On another note: „Rude“ would be the last thing that comes to my mind on „describe James with one word“. 😉

        Use it or lose it.

          Sorry for the long post, but I just wanted to add my thanks for such a great weekend.

                Was great to finally make it to Gosport and meet such lovely people. We (Andy and Nadia) had a blast. Thanks to all the crew for the effort.

                Andy!!!  Welcome my friend.

                  Im sitting here waiting for the train with Katie trying to think of something profound to say about this weekend and I’ve got absolutely nothing.  A full days worth of travel is hard enough but doing it with hearts this heavy is pure misery.  There are far too many people who made this trip everything for us to name check so I’ll trust that each of you knows how much love we have for you.  We already know we’ll be back.  Hopefully sooner than later.  Thank you.

                  I don't want to sound crass or grandoise or anything like that, but this weekend had a profound effect on me…

                  Seeing so many people who had never met before getting on so well with each other and having such a good time, left me feeling serene, humbled and proud.

                  I am so privileged to know you all and to be involved with a brand that invokes so much love and passion.

                  I think we have the ability to make these events ones that people will truly remember for the rest of their lives, and possibly change their outlook on life. To do that is another retirement goal.

                  I think it had a profound effect on all of us @Giles  . Thank you, @Giles , @Madame Buttonfly , @Alex , @Haraki-san and the IH Crew for enabling it to happen . I so enjoyed meeting such an interesting group of people and thanks to the forum and the photos it can remain fresh in our memories for a long time.

                    Btw, Gavin, is it?
                    Saturday I learned you had something to do with the 888 cut?

                    I did, but i was drunk at the time  😃

                    I’d hardly call pissing yourself whilst wearing a pair of pants “having something to do with it.”

                      Maybe that’s where the octopus logo idea was born, with all the jets through the button fly?

                        We’ve just landed in Tampa after a long 9 hour flight.  Two more to go.

                        I want to thank everyone who had a hand in the 21st Anniversary Denim Vest Negotiation. It was a real team effort and it paid off in spades.  Not only does Katie really like the vest now, she wants me to show her the full line of IH loop wheel sweats for potential Xmas gift ideas for herself  😉

                        Of course she also wants a forum profile and I shut that shit down real quick.  If the new version of the forum includes a locked password protected Dark Arts thread I’ll consider it but until then it’s way too dangerous.  It only took me 11 years to get her in board with IH so I’ll call it a major hard earned win.

                        She’s def all in now and can’t wait for the next party.  Mostly so she can check up on @AdamJ to make sure he hasn’t screwed up his courting of his girlfriend.

                        Love you guys and gals!!!

                          @Giles @Madame Buttonfly @AdamC @AdamJ @Alex So it turns out @Olly was not just randomly making up fake British slang.  We found this online confirming his usage and explanation…

                            I can certainly relate to this (both parts). We didn't get to speak over the weekend (too many people) but you certainly looked at home. It will probably take me a few more of these events before I start to loosen up a bit!

                                Was a real pleasure for me to meet you @ARNC

                                Unfortunately, I did not talk to you @Jcaz6996 but I realised you came with your boys which I think must have been great. I asked my two older ones (19 and 18 yrs) but they didn‘t consider it being „cool enough“ (actually nothing I‘m doing). Hopefully, we can have a chat next time.

                                  Likewise @endo - hope readjusting to life outside the Gosport bubble isn't too traumatic!

                                    Party weekend's been a blast! It was great seeing faces old and new. Thanks to the crew for their love and hospitality and it was great seeing everyone again! Can't believe it has gone by in a blink of an eye. 😢 😢

                                            It's hard to find any news words to describe this weekend, since all previous posters have summed it up quite perfectly. However, lets make it short: WHAT A BLAST!

                                            I felt exactly like @ARNC 
                                            @ARNC:

                                            Today certainly feels weird. I had to check my wardrobe when I got up and the pics on here for confirmation that this weekend actually happened!

                                            @Madame Buttonfly  @Giles  [/mention] @Alex all IH crew
                                            Thank you very much for everything! This was an experience I will never forget.

                                            I took a few photos on Saturday which I'd like to share with all of you. Here is my Google Drive link to it:
                                            https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1–ZV6VEWOztF7BMrUxgfWNm2uxnTEebh?usp=sharing

                                            Sorry, if some of the photos are not perfectly sharp. Forgive me, but it was not that easy to enjoy that tasty Fallen Acorn beer all day while maintaining a steady hand and clear sight  [emoji28]

                                            PS. If you find photos of you, you'd like to share on IG, please feel free. However, I would appreciate if you just tag me "@fadecyde". I will also share some of them on my channel the next days.

                                            PPS. @Madame Buttonfly  you need to tell what that red wine was we had on your terrace? It was lovely!

                                            PPPS. Thanks so much @Jeansman for giving @weftyarn @swiss-jeansfreak  and me a lift! I hope I can return the favour someday!
