Iron Heart x Division Road VA Launch Event - August 26th & 27th

[tvenuto]

As I said over in random questions, wife and I RSVP'd for both days (including dinner).  I'm also in MD, and we've been looking for a weekend trip away and this lined up well at work.  Intrigued by the destination-retail concept and wanted to check it out first-hand since the IH podcast.  Staying a Quirk, per DR recommendation.

I just RSVP’d for the Friday - gentlemen - please bring 3x and 4x with you and I shall bring and empty my wallet as my birthday is the following weekend (labor day weekend)

But then you’d need to drive 5 hours to Charlottesville

Sorry Charlottesville is what I meant. Anyway it is something worth considering.

On our way…...

Flight due to leave at 10:05, delayed until 16:00.  After realising that there was a flight at 12:15, we went and had a bitch.  Now on the standby for the 12:15, forgot to ask what happens to our luggage

If Sam, Olly or Alex read this, we'll let you know what time we are arriving when we know.....

Paula just gone back to the airline desk to find out 

Edit:  "Your baggage will definitely be on the same plane as you madam" (strange, because often it isn't  )

Even if we get onto the 12:15, it's been delayed until 14:15 - FFS

Unlucky

[Giles]

We have been gloriously lucky with flights for the last 22 years, so I guess it really is time for us to take some shit….

[Giles]

On a positive note, I have had a lovely Thai breakfast in the Cathay Pacific lounge and a full English breakfast in the BA lounge.  Next stop, the American Airlines lounge…....

[Giles]

Went to the AA lounge to find out that the 12:15 which had been delayed until 14:15 has now been cancelled.  AA lounge was heaving with pissed-off travellers, so we did not hang around.  Went to the AA desk in Terminal 3 and there was a queue of another 200 pissed-off travellers, we decided to go out through security and recheck in for the 16:00 flight and re-enter the airport.  Luckily, we met a brilliant security guard who told us of a little-known AA desk in another part of T3, he actually took us there and there was zero queue - at that point, we high-fived anything with a pulse.  Rechecked on the 16:00 and in the Qantas lounge…...

Shit day for Monday..

[goosehd]

Have you had a cocktail or beer yet?

[Giles]

What do you think?

[Giles]

@goosehd

Qantas does not really start working until 17:30 (most flights from here to Oz are overnight), subsequently, the food available is rubbish…...

So in 20 or so, we will go back to Cathay Pacific and have a proper meal

Last time I flew Quantas it was like a flashback. I didn’t feel like livestock and I had a dinner—with dessert and a beer—from Perth to Sydney. A better flashback than seeing ashtrays on seat arms for sure.
