HWDC Event 1 - Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre
-
We have a ton of pics of everyone, like hundreds, but Pam has them on her camera…....give her time.
-
It was a top, top afternoon & evening yesterday, so cool to meet such a great bunch of people and kick off the contest with a whole heap of beer and denim chat.
Big thanks to G&P for their hospitality and to the Trons for all their hard work making it happen.
Giles - I had the heaviest hangover in recent memory this morning after drinking far too much of your Belgian beer. Lethal stuff, couldn't even manage my Spring Garden fry up! Thanks again for having me.
Simon (yep, another one…)
-
Didn't Megatron ban you from calling yourself GingerMagician Simon?
A flagrant breach of the Trade Descriptions Act apparently, Graeme. Still, I'm stuck with the username so he'll have to suck it up
-
You're not even bloody ginger
-
And you're just a great shambling oaf, not an 80s era toy robot, yet no one hounds you about your user name…
-
Mega attaches the first MBB flasher
Then the professional showed him how it's done…
So we locked him out for showing off
Up close and personal with the flasher
and with the patch
Mountains of beautiful MBB's

No bitterness from you fake tex…..

It has to be said, I stuck to coffee and lemonade today, but I did cook up a lovely breakfast (at about 11:30….)....
-
^ Truth, breakfast was amazing.
-
Yeah, thanks G and P for letting me share this great Breakfast!! Specially cooked by the big famous:
It was just an amazing weekend for me in a real great raw denim paradise and I have just returned back home at my regular place on earth
Perhaps I should rent the old office from G as my new living appartment just with some content left there for me. I would take the stuff over for free and would build it up as my personal decoration. Or I could just live out of the boxes!!!
-
Some updates from this great event from my site as well. Probably most stuff is already here
Me approaching the raw denim paradise:
mega on the way to give me the hemming shock
I had to look away, since every single cutting in a pair of jeans is breaking my heart.
My new pants of course will stay untouched from water and any hemming as usual,…
