Hello and welcome to another episode of the Gray NATO brought to you by Hodinky, a loose discussion of travel,

diving, driving, gear, and most certainly watches.

This is episode 70 and we thank you so much for listening.

We are recording from a small apartment here in the

West Village, New York City. James and I are both in town here for the

Hodincky 10th anniversary weekend. Yeah it's been, it's been a thing. It has been multiple

panels every day and you know these events at night we've met a ton of

really great people lots of fans of the show which is so nice for people to come

out and kind of support Hinke at large and certainly

Jason and I at some scope with this sort of thing. We had an amazing meet-up at the

half-pint so to everyone who came to but I don't know what to say other than

like the thank you it was such a great time I didn't do a head count but we had a

really good turnout we packed that little back room there yeah it was really

special to meet that many TGM listeners in one time. I mean I don't think we've really you know I've had sort of

anecdotal feedback about the show and then you bump into people here and there, but but to have that kind of gathering in one place was pretty incredible.

Yeah, I would agree. I had a blast. I thought the bar was perfect.

It was really close to where we were already here for the Hunnickey 10 stuff stuff and yeah it was just really nice to

meet people and and get a chance to do that and I think it's kind of case study in

the fact that we could do something like that in other cities too you know we gave

we gave some heads up for this you know it was

mentioned on the last show and obviously for anyone who wasn't able to make it we'll

we'll try and make one the next time we're in the same place at the same time but
