The Iron Heart Forum 15th and the Iron Heart 22nd Anniversary Party

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Just about finished…started off with Dark Side of the Moon, went to Gojira’s The Way of the Flesh Album for technical packing of the suitcase…

…and now listening to Radiohead’s The Bends as I do final checks on my bags.

As to the girls bags, I may need to listen to some just a little bit heavier…

@goosehd Slayer calms me down every time

I had Hail to the Thief playing yesterday while packing.

Just think, in 7 days time from now it will all be over, and we'll have the memories.

And probably some new and impulse purchases, but also the memories.

Stop saying that, or I‘m crying.

@endo The other way of looking at it is "in just 5 days we'll be sat in the brewery with good friends, good cheer, and good beer" and making the memories.

That's what I was going for, but I am clumsy with words sometimes.

[T4920]

@Kasi awesome patch on these. Is this this same 16oz slub that's available now, or an earlier prototype?

[Kasi]

Bags packed. Flight, checked in. Won't be long, now.

[Tago Mago]

Friday can’t come soon enough

Has anyone checked parking situation and costs in Gosport (Travelodge)? I can rent a small car in Gatwick for around 85 Euro for the whole Friday to Sunday period, and tempted to do this to avoid train hassle (in particular on the way back Sunday). Any other issues I have not realized (e.g. horrible traffic situation from and two Gatwick when doing this by car)?

[AdamC]

@Tobi It is a bit of a lottery depending on times @Alex will know that journey better than me as he goes up the A3 a lot and I think there is some work being done when this merges with the M25 (which will be the way to Gatwick). There are other more scenic routes though so you are not bound by this route should the traffic have built up.

As long as you are not in rush hours (Monday-Friday 7am-9ish and 3.30pm-6ish) you should be fine.

Re parking around here there are a few paid for parking locations, one very close to the office with a parking meter. We have a few additional permits to park on site as well.

Travelodge website for Gosport says the following:

Long stay parking is available at Walpole Park Car Park, PO12 1NH.
Charges apply daily between 8am and 7pm, parking is free outside of these hours.
Charges as follows: 1 hour - £1, 2 hours - £2, 3 hours - £3, 4 hours - £4, 5 hours - £5, up to 19:00 - £6

Mumby road lorry park car park is a 2 minute walk and can pay and display there.

[Alex]

I eould anticipate 90-120 mins to do the Gatwick journey

[Tobi]

Thanks @AdamC and @Alex .. travel time is not too crucial since I will be arriving early Friday, and leave late on Sunday. I think I will rent a car, gives me also the flexiblity do do some sightseeing on Friday morning and Sunday afternoon.

[ARNC]

@Tobi things may have changed in the last two years but there was a small car park attached to the Travelodge - my guess is they don’t have as many spaces as rooms so don’t advertise it on the website. I’d give it a go before looking at other parking options - that’s my plan!
