The Iron Heart Baltimore Bash - September 18, 19 & 20, 2026 (This Year)

[Matt]

I recommend beer with crabs. Specifically this one…

[Matt]

The BMA is great (the Matisse exhibit is wonderful), the Walter’s is great. American Visionary Art Museum great. I recommend them all.

Someone let me know if that works.

Also Happy Birthday @Giles!

[atm23]

Alright we got people joining!

[olblue]

@Lynne if you like the really obscure true vine records always hits the spot. I practically used to live there

[Brian]

Have a complete blast everyone please post lots of pics

[Lynne]

@olblue I’ll add to the list!

[Denimhead 0]

Really was hoping I could make this one. Unfortunately, coincides with the wifes favorite festival. Will be following along here. Have a great time all.

[Tago Mago]

@Denimhead-0 happy wife happy life, c‘est la vie

[jimcasey]

Am very jealous about this one. Seriously considered it, but I know too many Australians with politics like mine who have had problems getting in. Problems like being detained for two days at LAX and put onto a flight back home. Not as bad as what is happening to some, but still something to avoid.

Will live vicariously through pics.

Seems to be still pretty warm in Baltimore with high humidity and probably rain on Sunday. Would be interesting to hear what the locals plan to wear or pack.

[sabergirl]

I’m going to plan on t shirts and jeans the whole time @Chap . If I wore shorts often, I might consider them. I will bring my type II or III for morning/evening. Might consider a rain jacket just in case. Depending on where you spend the most time, indoors may be air conditioned enough for a long sleeve something.

[olblue]

@Chap I live about an hour and a half from Baltimore, it’s a touch colder where I live (no city heat) but lately it’s been nice having on my flathead chore coat in the morning and evening but it definitely still feels like t-shirt weather from 10 am to 5 pm. Has been finally getting cooler though

[Oaktavia]

@Chap it depends on your tolerance to heat and clothing. I wear long sleeved tops and pants unless it is over ~85F, but I'm a freak and am used to this. I plan on wearing heavyweight denim all weekend. Air Conditioning helps a lot.

Haha, Jesus, no, I am not very heat tolerant, I will follow @sabergirl advice and pack a lot of T‘s and maybe some Hawaiian shirts…

@Chap I am with you, I run very hot, but heavyweight jeans will come with the territory this weekend

[jordanscollected]

Haraki designed the easy shorts for days like these

Yep, we will have to go through this (and have an eye on our liquid intake to compensate sweating )

[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.

[goosehd]

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.
