The Iron Heart Forum Ten Year Anniversary Party Week End…

@spitfiredealer:

A special UHF sounds pretty cool…

Remembering the Kanrekishirt-Desaster I wouldn't do a special western or workshort, but I'm all in for a mug, pin and T-Shirt. 

We've sold well over 100 of them, that's not my definition of a disaster….Yes, they sold slow, but they sold.....

@spitfiredealer:

Hopefully I will be able to make the weekend. A special UHF sounds pretty cool, plus a mug would be great too

Who said anything about a UHF?

I must of dreamt it!!

Well it's out there now, make it so 

[Chap]

@Madame:

This is very exciting - promise we'll fix dates very soon so that people can book early.  Will be either 14th/15th September or 21st/22nd September.  @Chap we'd love to have you here, it's going to be impossible to find a weekend to suit everyone but now's the time to shout out your preference, people!

There is a new "cheap and cheerful" 70 bedroom Travelodge Hotel being built on Gosport High Street, a short stroll from here - I hope it will be open by September, can't find any info right now but this would be a real bonus, finding local accommodation is always a challenge.

@Filthy British Airways return flights to Philadelphia are currently about £300 (less than $400) so I am sure there will be some cheap flights available.  The Scandi airlines (Finnair for example) are also offering great deals between UK and many US cities.

And so it begins…

14th/15th would be great and I if I get a Visa for the UK  then I‘ll be there…

@Chap:

Oh no that is the only weekend this summer where I already have a date fixed…  please @Madame Buttonfly another weekend

In the words of the inimitable Oscar Wilde "sorry, I have a subsequent arrangement"…..

As eloquent as always…

[Max Power]

I really hope I can make it. Sounds lovely!

[UnTucked]

I think it goes without saying that The Love's will be in attendance

Good to know. I thought you where still sitting on a big pile of them.

[Giles]

Funnily enough, we have a lot of M, but not a lot else…..

I should jolly well hope so! I daresay Maddy will be drafted in to help with the cooking (whilst we drink beer and watch)

Yeah I forgot to Order my 14 Shirts, sorry.

[Dion]

This sounds very exciting! Time flies way too fast, though ???.

@neph93:

Nice to have over seven months warning… need to pick a good time to raise this with Hot Ingrid 

I mentioned it to Julie last night.

Her response?
"You should go.  Flights are pretty cheap in September."

(Either weekend sounds fine to me, Paula…)

[Signal11]

I mentioned it to Jacquelijne and we would like to join again too!
Either weekend is fine with us

[neph93]

Loving the amount of interest in this. I hope I can make it…

@spitfiredealer good idea…

[JDelage]

Instead of a UHF, how about a black denim workshirt? Or a kersey indigo workshirt?

[tmg]

Wish I could join the fun (having missed the party last year!) but I’ll be in Korea for a wedding

[Seul]

Are North and South finally getting back together?.. Awww, sweet.

[Giles]

No one said UHF - Well @spitfiredealer did, but he made it up…..

[mclaincausey]

@Giles:

We're  also thinking of a special edition flannel (much like the Kanreki Shirt), oodles of discounts for our fave forum members….

I think this would be very special, particularly given Haraki's genius at developing flannel patterns. Past forum tees I've owned or seen have had red and black or indigo and white, it might be cool to incorporate those colors as a reference.

@Giles:

That's why…..

Or, for our cerebrally challenged cousins...

Whoops, did I say that out loud?

What does "cerebrally" mean?

EDIT: also, I love the pin idea, but if that's not workable, perhaps a patch would be.

[Giles]

I actually meant special edition flannel shirt, we probably don't have time to get the fabric designed and woven in time to get the shirts done in time.  I've asked him to see what he can conjure up out of the backrooms of some of the mills we work with

Pin's a goer…....
