When do you anticipate being at Franklin and Poe @Alex?

Here are the updated details with the beer sponsor and timing @steelworker
I will probably get to Philly around lunchtime though

The first of three events this week is today. I am heading up to Milford, Connecticut to see @Matty123 for some pizza and beer. Because we are heading to Philly later this week too, renting a car was far more appropriate for both trips.
What I hoped we had when I arrived:
The reality, which is still egregiously large for the "standard" car I chose when booking… #murica

The F250 is what we had last year. Great for towing a 10000 lb Airstream. Shitty for parking in a crowded parking lot.
Ultimately we chose the F250 because the rear seats were far enough from the front seats that the kids feet couldn’t reach. A feature whose benefits I’ve been constantly reminded of since we sold it.

No big pickup truck is complete without a set of Truck Nutz. It's a time honored tradition here in the states.

Spent a few hours with @Matty123 yesterday at his pizza place
Found where his stickers end up…
Matty taught Kira some of the tricks of the trade
Her turn…
Finished pies. Pepperoni by the maestro:
Tomato and basil by the apprentice
Thanks for hosting Matty, had a great time getting to know you better and eating far too much pizza!
-
that was a lot of fun spending time with you guys. and Kira made an amazing pie! she killed it!
thanks Alex Kira and Noah for coming by!i meant to wear these but they weren’t yet dry from a wash!

I really wish I could have been there. It would have been worth the 9 hour drive. Luckily it seems like I will be able to make it to Franklin and Poe tomorrow
-
Headed over to Barrier Brewing on Long Island to meet Evan and have a look around his operation. Seriously impressive set up, and amazing beer (we knew that already, though it didn't stop me from sampling some more!). Spent some time talking about
the next Iron Heart beer collabstuff. More details to come, but hoping we can get something sorted out for our USA market.For anyone in the LI area, the tap room is great. Good people, great food truck and cool music. Go check it out.

Damn @Matty123 those pizza's look excellent. My stomach has been grumbling since I saw them. Just how I like the crust also.

I had a great time today. Definitely worth the ten hours of driving.
I went and got an authentic Philly cheese steak sandwich from Joe's. It was amazing!!
I got to check out some of the FW21 stuff.
The purple UHF is out of sight
you really must see it in person because photos don't do it justice.
Pittsburgh Steelers colored UHF
Meeting all 9 feet of Alex was pretty surreal. I got a few insider deets able stuff on the pipeline and I am so stoked for next year.
Also pictured is Ed @steelworker it was awesome to meet them.
Some pics of me were taken and I guess they will show up eventually. Thanks a lot to everyone for such a nice time.!! I need to go to stuff like this more often because I met a lot of nice people. Also, my mom had been asking me to get her a non-hooded sweatshirt for a long time now so it was cool to be able to get her a really nice one. And I got myself a pair of socks.
