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

[Matt]

At least you won’t be here for actual bad east coast weather. I’m looking at the forecast over here thinking we dodged a bullet. It’s typically still in the 90’s this time of year.

My most sincere apologies to everyone attending the party and especially to @Matt and Katie,

I’ve spent the last hour catching up with Laura on the phone and have decided that making the trip will be just about impossible. Kids sick, doctor’s appointments, and work that has piled up since I’ve been away that she wasn’t able to complete in my absence.

I wish all of you attending the best and hope you all enjoy. The sense of FOMO is real and will only get worse as pictures get posted, laughs are shared, and epic stories are made and told.

Accept my sincere apologies, but I can’t make this work.

@hajduk …or think of it this way, there will be more spirits to consume in my absence and I expect, no demand that they be consumed in my absence.

I’m counting on you.

[Matt]

Sorry buddy. Hope the kids get better soon.

[ARNC]

@goosehd we’ll miss you but needs must.

I had to change my itinerary, a bit. I'm starting a day later than expected. It's about 15 hours to Baltimore. I'll take a break overnight in Columbus, and arrive to my Airbnb at around check-in time, Thursday. I've rented a car to get there. I had originally tried booking something a bit more fuel efficient. But, the options I was given were very undesirable. So, here's what I wound up with...

I'll be through Chicago in a couple of hours, and Indianapolis by 4pm. Anyone along I-70 corridor in need of a ride, is more than welcome. Lord knows, I've got the room...

[Oaktavia]

Last rental I had was in FL and it was a van too. I actually liked it! King o' da road!

[Chap]

Save journey @scooter sounds like quite a trip! Any plans for a meetup tomorrow evening? @Matt We are scheduled for landing 7.40. Don’t know how long it will take us with CBP and airport to hotel though.

[hajduk]

Reykjavik here. Transfer. Good vibes!
