I’ve honestly just been sitting here replaying the weekend in my head.
Patches and Pints has always been something special to me, but this year was different. Seeing everyone come together, watching people shake hands for the first time after talking online for years, hearing laughs across the room, seeing makers support makers, collectors supporting each other… that’s the stuff I’ll remember long after the patches are gone.
What started as a simple get together over patches and drinks has slowly turned into something much bigger. It doesn’t even feel like a hobby event anymore. It feels like a family reunion. A brotherhood. A place where people can just be themselves around others who get it.
To every single person who traveled out, waited in line, supported the makers, hung out, shared bro patches, helped behind the scenes, or simply showed up… thank you. Seriously.
Hosting these events is stressful as hell sometimes, but weekends like this remind me exactly why it’s worth doing. The community built this event. Not me. All I did was help create the space for it to happen.
I’m beyond grateful for all of you.
Patches and Pints 2027… we’re just getting started 🍻👁
Now the real question is… where should we take it next?
