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

[Matt]

@Oaktavia as if.

[Tago Mago]

@Oaktavia I'm not cool enough to be Snoopy

[Oaktavia]

Hahaha

This is so awesome. I'm very much looking forward to meeting so many of you guys, some again and hopefully many new. Baltimore is a great place and we couldn't be more happy with our host. Let me put it this way: since I had the pleasure to 'wear the sample' of this weekend, I have no doubts this will be legendary.

Fall is all about college football in my circle. Looking at the 2026 PSU football schedule - Penn State has a home game on the schedule that Saturday in 2026 - hmmm, Beaver Stadium or Baltimore - decisions. Either way I’m partying all day. If it had been the following weekend PSU plays on the Terps turf.

@John-Galt sounds like we have 14 months to find a spot streaming the game during the get together!

[John Galt]

@catdad1 I like your plan. However, my wonderful wife also enjoys tailgating and college football. I’ve got a year to figure it out.

[ZackB]

I’m in, got the bosses approval and she will be attending as well. Will nail down the hotel closer to time but thank you for all the recommendations Matt.

Only a 3 hour drive from the Jersey Shore. I think I can make this

[Mizmazzle]

Heck yea!! This is an exciting development! Time to start buttering up my lovely and intelligent wife!! (She might read this later)

[jdwaid]

This sounds fun. Two of my sisters live in Baltimore.

[Fadez]

Oh man. I’ll be on a meditation retreat that week. Wish I could meet all you. This is close. Thanks to everyone setting this up. It’s epic! I’ll for sure follow for pics

[goosehd]

@Fadez 2026??

[Fadez]

@goosehd most likely. My birthday is the 16th and that’s the present I get myself. Also this teacher usually books out a spot that week because they do it a year in advance.

This is a possibility for us. All I'll say is my wife knows Iron Heart is expensive. She actually has no idea as she thinks Banana Republic is expensive. So y'all will probably get me murdered lol. My actual name is Chris btw. Our old pastor lives about an hour from Baltimore and has been asking me to visit. We'll see as it gets closer. Are there any IH shops in/around Balt*more?

[catdad1]

@CosmoSix5 so your name isn't actually cosmosix5??? In all seriousness, Franklin & Poe a couple hours north in Philly is great. Otherwise you can schedule an appointment with withered fig in northern Virginia. I believe those are your two closest options.

[goosehd]

There is also Division Road about 3 hours away in Charlottesville, Va. Not close, but could be worth the drive.

[catdad1]

They are great as well. Make sure to make an appointment if you plan to hit them up. Also good family activities as well as restaurants in Charlottesville.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I’m too close to not go. It’s on the calendar and I’ll try to ride the bike up there as sketchy as it may be

[ROman]

I told Ralph he's going.
