        @Mizmazzle - for the Nets game on Sunday, I bought tickets from the UK for my son and myself. The crowd was kinda sparse until the later stages when the place magically filled up - but there were still empty seats.

        Due to the rain in NYC yesterday we (the fam) decided to do the MSG stadium tour which was great. I knew there was a game that evening (short schedule NBA Cup game) but my daughter surprisingly asked if we could get tickets. We asked at the ticket office but the only available were high up behind one end - so not great. We then checked out the Ticketmaster Resale and got 2 pairs in the same block. There were plenty of free seats at the start but they soon filled up - much earlier than on Sunday.

        No love lost for Trae Young that’s for sure, but then he did get his own back after starting poorly…he owned the second half…and the crowd, unfortunately.

        I have now seen 5 major sporting events in the US and yet to see a home win. I’m available for hire to sort out the NFL Pool!!! 😄

          @Nocturama that sounds like a great experience. Plus being in New York around the holidays is a beautiful sight in itself!!

              @Mizmazzle - we were just sat round listing everything we’ve done so far, and it’s been a lot, rain notwithstanding. The only fail has been going 91 stories up Summit One into a complete white out.

              Helicopter today made up for it though…

              Loving that we’re close enough to the holidays for things to be festive around the city, but not too close to be cloying…just yet.

                        Today I visited the Valhalla of boots, Wesco. It just amazes me that this little town of Scappoose, Oregon is revered around the globe. I’m gonna pull the trigger on a custom fitting and wait the 12 months for a pair.

                          @Inorganic Well worth the wait for a pair of boots that you can wear for the rest of your life! Looks awesome

                          @goosehd Minor league hockey games are so much fun! I’ve been to a handful of San Diego Gulls games back when I lived there. Always a blast! Next year I want to take my son out to a minor league baseball game. The Round Rock Express are the Texas Rangers minor league team here in Austin, TX.

                            @Danimal506 I love watching minor league baseball. In fact, most sports I would rather watch minor league’s and collegiate.

                            That will be awesome for you and your son. My first baseball game still holds special memories for me 🙂

                              @Danimal506 if you want to check out some hockey the Texas Stars, Dallas’ AHL farm team, plays out of HEB Center in Cedar Park. Always a good time.

                                @Inorganic Absolutely worth the wait, and worth the small (lifetime) custom fit fee. Congrats!

                                  @seawolf Agree about the custom fee and the best part is once they have those measurements on file, they will update them for free when/if needed.

                                      @goosehd They recommend every five years. I updated mine once, and it was great knowing that my boots were going to fit me perfectly. I actually credit Wesco for helping me find Iron Heart. It was probably the summer of 2011, and I was tired of ill-fitting boots, and started searching for something better. I came upon Wesco, and ordered my first pair of Boss boots. That somehow led me to discovering other nice things, and that led me to the Iron Heart forum. And the rest is history. Imagine how happy I was years later when IH started doing collabs with Wesco. A match made in heaven.

                                        @seawolf Same here as Wesco was my gateway drug to all things better. Bought stock Boss Wesco’s that didn’t fit quite right, went custom, and down the rabbit hole I went. Went from Wesco to IH and still expanding…

                                        This place has been a learning curve for all great things that weren’t on my horizon.

                                          @goosehd For better or for worse! My current black Mister Lou's aren't custom, and my high instep on my right foot reminds me from time to time that I should have just waited 18 months (I'm glad to hear it's 12 now) for custom.

                                            @seawolf I agree with all of your points. When I went into the shop I was only expecting to check it out, see the factory and try on some boots. But it hit me that I should just pull the trigger on custom - hell, life is too short am I right? The fella working in the show room (a 5th generation from the Shoemaker family) said they're training up more staff which should reduce order times to 12 months - he also said that when they get leathers in and there are those that don't pass their quality threshold they say 'send 'em to Whites' - it was in jest of course, but it was a moment that made me realize how lucky we are in the PNW to have so many quality craftsman (I have Whites snow boots and love them 😉 )

                                            @goosehd I appreciate that they keep your measurements on file and allow for free updates beyond that, do feet really change shape that much? I'm not sure, but now I know that I don't have to worry about it lol
