The Iron Heart Baltimore Bash - September 18, 19 & 20, 2026

That bridge or absence of it wouldn't affect travel from either JFK or Newark. If it's the Baltimore Harbor bridge your referring to?

@ROman I was making a reference to this..

@louisbosco it would be rad if you came!

[Matt]

@louisbosco we did lose a bridge but we gained a most excellent watch…

[Matt]

The drive from JFK, if it’s not during rush hour, should only be about two hours.

[Twistlock]

@Matt you getting one? Looks great.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt what about Dulles or Philadelphia? Being uninvited won't stop me if I can make it work

[louisbosco]

it can be on the cards. I just need to map out what I'm doing for next year.. have global entry but it's expiring June next year and I have never made the most. will probably be renewing it so here's to hoping I get the chance to use it.. also the usd is at a very great exchange rate to sgd at the moment...

[Matt]

@louisbosco @Tago-Mago i sincerely hope you can both make it. Dulles isn’t bad, better than JFK. That place is a shit show on a good day.

[Matt]

@louisbosco I don’t have the bridge watch but I do have this one and I love it…

I would highly recommend anyone coming to see if they can visit the showroom. The owner is a good dude.

[Mister_Brue]

Looks like we’ll be in South Carolina the week before, so we’re thinking about flying up for this, or maybe road tripping it. Well done @Matt

[Matt]

Hope you can make it.

@Matt 2 hours? Im not gonna get in a car you're drivin.

[pmadison95]

I may be able to make this one it is a little over a 4 hour drive for me as opposed to across the pond. I will have to see what I have going on next year.

@Tago-Mago The Philadelphia airport is south of the city and next to the highway that leads to Baltimore. It would be an good option.

[yannis]

@Tago-Mago . Dulles to Balrimore is about 65 miles. Philli International to Baltimore is about 90 miles. Traffic is unpredictable either with a slight edge to 95 south coming from Philly. If you are traveling within the US BWI Airport is 15 minutes from Baltimore and the best option.

[Signal11]

Although the US is currently not our favorite wanna goto, this sounds super! Thanks for willing to organize this Matt.
We would love to come too, probably extending our trip some, around the east…

[Oaktavia]

Wouldn't it make sense to just fly into BWI? Am I missing something? I wouldn't want to fly into an adjacent city to my destination if I wasn't spending time there.

[pechelman]

Probably related to options available for direct flights from international locations? I know I'll happily take a little extra drive for not having to have a connection, especially with an international long haul
