@Matt My kind of place for an aperitif at the end of the day or the beginning of the evening! Your choice!

…I see the UK is stepping up their convenience store game: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62l429w2pko

Still behind Baltimore though…

I will avoid this thread. It’s making me sad

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago I know you have principles and everything, but there is a way to fix that.

[Matt]

I get it. It’s easy to be from a country with the moral superiority that only comes from having a spotless historical record.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt I have two to choose from, and make no mistake neither of them has always been shining beacon of human decency in the past

[Matt]

That settles it. Let us know when your flight arrives.

So...shirts? Can we please make this happen? Baltimore Iron Heart tshirts with that awesome logo in the first post?

[Matt]

That’s not department, sorry.

If you can’t locate me on Saturday the 19th during the day, here is the first place to look.

@jordanscollected haha I see photos that friends post online but haven't attended one yet...

[Matt]

How dare they have that the same weekend as us?

[Matt]

15 weeks and counting.

If you haven’t already registered using the survey in the top post please do so asap. I’ll need a final head count for the Saturday venue.

Sunday 9/20 is a double booked Ravens//Orioles game which happens rarely but can affect traffic in the downtown area so please plan accordingly.

Please feel free to explore game ticket options at your leisure. I will be at the bar with party stragglers.

If your plans change and you find you won’t be able to attend but you have already signed up please let @Giles and me know so we can try to keep the headcount somewhat accurate.

Also it may be helpful to remind everyone that this is not a catered event. There will be food trucks at the bar on Saturday and the bar has plenty of non alcoholic options for those who don’t partake but neither IH nor I will be paying for any of it. This is a get together that IH asked me to organize and then invited themselves to so I don’t want anyone to be disappointed when the bar tab shows up.

[Matt]

Also I’m always available for consultations on lodging, travel and activities while you’re here.

@Matt
we won’t make it Matt , I’am sorry !!

[Matt]

That’s too bad. You’ll be missed.

[Oaktavia]

I was originally planning on just coming up Saturday for the day (I live < 2 hours away from Bmore), but now I think I'll make a hotel reservation for Friday and Saturday night. I have been looking at the hotels posted (thanks Matt) but wanted to ask what others have booked. What say you, fellow travelers? Where have you booked for the weekend?

Also @Matt would you consider going to the Saints at Ravens game on the 20th? Just throwing it out there.

[Matt]

I considered it but I think a lot of people will still be around and I want to take advantage of spending time with them.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt yes I thought that would be the case, which makes perfect sense.
