We were already talking about at possible Japan trip in 2019.  This all but guarantees that happening now…

april/may seems quite close to sakura season. this might mean higher airfare and accomodations and such.. any such shows for the later half of the year?

[Giles]

The Fall/Winter show is the best show to see and that is shown in April/May

[Megatron1505]

Spring/ Summer collection is usually in Q4, that we could do

I'd prefer Q4 but I hope to be in whatever. Is it mandatory to bring WAG's or can I leave Hot Ingrid in Norway? 

[Giles]

OK, so if you don't give a frig about which collection you see, we will aim for Oct/Nov 2019.  And, we don't care who you do or do not bring…..

This is intriguing timing…

I can guarantee my wife will not come. However, you know who ( @formulapfaff ) would probably be a definite yes!

Oct/Nov works better for me.  April/May is right around HS graduation time for my oldest.

Arrived in LA to beautiful temperatures.  Thrifty had no "economy cars", so they gave us a 4x4 - aint complaining….

Drove up to Yucca Valley, which seemed to take forever, courtesy of the LA freeways, now safely ensconced in a Super 8 (it isn't really)…..

[Appfaff]

Have fun!  I’m sure the weather will be great!!

Re: Forum Gig to Japan.

The brands show collections twice a year.  That is when I have to be there (not to see other collections, but that is when most retailers are in town so we take that opportunity of showing ours too).  So our dates are immovable.  Once we know the dates (usually not until about 5 months before the trip) we will publish.  We normally go for a week or so, but peeps could go for shorter or longer, hang-out together, do some travelling etc etc…..

Super intrigued at the idea of a japan gathering…never been and I’d love to meet some of you fine fellas face to face. I was bummed I couldn’t make the Gosport gathering last year. I ran the idea by my wife and it seems promising 

[Giles]

We popped up to Joshua Tree tonight for drinks and eats,…

@Giles  You two are not far from Amboy ca. on Route 66. It is a ghost town with it;s famous Roy's Cafe. A good place to take photos. At this time Amboy has 4 people living there. check it out. From Joshua Tree just come up Amboy road to Route 66.

@Madame Buttonfly  Bobby would love to stop by and see the flowers.Have a super time on vacation.

Beautiful sunset!

[louisbosco]

wow. the sunsets look amazing. love the colour of the sky!! and i'm pretty sure that's considered an economy car by USA's standards…
