·Would love to have you both join us next year, Aaron. Actually, we had two attendees this year who took the train to Baltimore from NYC and another attendee who flew in from Hartford, CT. Proof positive that if you build it, they will come. 😀
Thank you @gbesq @JwRosenthal Hannah (James, you need to create an account for her, she is family, you know!!) and @RevZMan123 !!!
Absolutely great way of enjoying this hobby. The amount of knowledge and number + quality of watches in attendance was just spectacular.
As others said though, time flew by too quickly and there are quite a number of people with whom I didn't get much of a chance to interact with. Oh well. Next time.
PS: here is the beauty I wore today... and it shows the time I spent "at" this event from the moment I left home... until I got back (safe and sound and HAPPY!!):

·...and some drove 3+ hours one way to make it, but in all honesty, it was so so nice to see again some familiar faces and to meet new ones, that I would have walked to this event if needed!!

·Here’s a photo of the leather “G2G Tray” made by OF member Steve (Duracuir1) in his Canadian workshop. The tray was introduced at the Detroit G2G, where it was signed by those attending, and then it was passed to me to bring to the Baltimore G2G where it gathered more signatures today. I’m looking now to pass it on to the next OF G2G that someone organizes anywhere in the world. Any takers?

·Much like last time, this event looked like a blast. It’s awesome you all are able to put this together and have fun like this!
Greg had so much fun he was willing to share lip balm with me. Lol

·Yes, big thanks to the organizers who have all been mentioned (Greg, James, Ericc and Hannah).
Also a big thanks to @Duracuir1 : we all signed the leather, and your raffle contributions artwork was very popular!

That's a great idea for a photo op, I love it. Hopefully I remember to do that with my new chronograph (incoming this week!) Next year. 😀

And of course thanks to @TrboDieselPwrd for my new copy of Moonwatch Only. I'm already reading getting my daily workout.
I somehow managed to leave without purchasing a watch but I did of course pick up this wonder watch box for my Seamaster Automatic Calendar from the always amazing Phil (@seekingseaquest )
Thanks to everyone for coming this year. I'm not sure how we're supposed to make it more better next year.

If anyone needs lodging recommendations for the future, PM me. Some real gems in this city- from lux to macabre (apparently a number of suicides after the crash of ‘29 at the Lord Baltimore- said to be ghosts there).

·At least someone remembered to take pics. I got so caught up in it all that I forgot to take a single pic. Until today ... The ornament that Hannah laboriously crafted in my wall box of swag.
