Thanks again @Matt . I think I passed the Ava test and I can live with not being her absolute favourite (by some distance, probably).

@Matt love this mate! Very nicely put and couldn’t agree more that the meet ups in person and the bonds made truly do show how special this brand and this place is. Some very big shoes to fill but excited for the next already

@Matt

Thank you.

Beautifully put. I had no expectations of what Baltimore would be like, in fact, I don’t think I even pondered over it. I was there to see old and new friends and the location (other than being reasonably accessible) was completely irrelevant. Having said that, I did LOVE Baltimore, and generally I fucking hate cities, so would love to revisit at some point.

You did a great job of organising stuff, but a crap job of trying to convince me that you had done nothing.

The most important thing though was meeting old and new and seeing them have a good time. Job done.

Thank you again. G

Have not posted much all weekend. But grateful to meet friends old and new. It’s been a memorable trip and I’m glad I made it. Hope to see you all again next year

@Matt gaaaah I knew you’d crush it and just hate to have missed. Glad the army had fun!

@Matt I want to add my sincere thanks to you and Katie for everything you did to bring us together again for an amazing few days. It was incredibly special, and a real eye-opener to discover Baltimore, an amazing city! Great to meet your lovely girls, and exciting that Imogene now has her first pair of Iron Heart jeans, a new generation spreading the love! It was wonderful to spend time with everyone who came. And we raised our glasses many times to absent friends we hope to see at the next gathering, or here in Gosport (or who knows where?!)

I’ve finally made it home—safe and sound, tired and happy. I’m so grateful to you all for the wonderful time and can’t wait to head out for another party.

Thanks to our wonderful hosts, @Matt and Katie; thanks to the amazing community created by @Alex , @Giles & Paula; and thanks for so many wonderful encounters with old friends and some great new ones, too. Thank you all!

One of two pictures I took that weekend
Just happened to nerd out over seeing @Giles and @Madame-Buttonfly in the flesh, completely randomly in line for the aquarium. Absolute highlight!!!

Looks like y'all had a great time. I'm loving looking at all the pictures. Well done @Matt.

Quick update...

After 3 days on the Bourbon trail, I got fed up with all of the driving, gift shops, and hotels. Wednesday afternoon, at about 5:00pm, I decided I wanted no more of it, and headed for home. I settled in around midnight. My own bed never felt so comfy.

I've got a few things that need my immediate attention. So, I'll be getting back to forum business, as time permits. I'll have a recap of my Kentucky journey, and a new world tour to announce, soon.

Lastly, I want to thank @Matt and Kt for being gracious hosts, and showing off some of the best of Bmore. To @Alex , @Giles , @Madame-Buttonfly , and the rest of the IHUK crew, I truly appreciate all that you do to bring us all together. And, to the rest of those who attended, as much as I'd love to name drop every one of you, adding @... would take far too much time, and likely lead to a name being forgotten. Just know, I love and appreciate you all, and hope to spend more time with you in the future. Cheers to the next meet...
