This is for @Roycru. The train is very efficient here but like all big cities only 10% of the people know how to use.

I have a small statuette from Guadalajara. Just one guy makes this fella, but usually he's a bit more.....oriented toward fertility. That's the professional way of saying it (naked with a rager would be the unprofessional way of saying it). We got him in San Antonio.

I don't recall the name of the place, but it's right next to Mar Imports on Houston, right at the corner with Broadway (where it becomes Losoya).

Took the Firsts to the range again. Got asked about them, and I might have turned someone on to buying some AE shell by explaining their hard wearing qualities!

I also discovered one hazard of commando soles! Kept having to pluck things out of the lugs.

The more I wear these, the more I appreciate them.

Haha, I thought about that and tried to be very clear that this was custom makeup from a promo show.

I told them that later this year there might be an option for something similar depending on what AE pulls together for the next TS.

Today is Fat Tuesday, so Happy Mardi Gras!!!

I've been a bit busy this year and have not been posting much. I do try to keep up with my required SF reading, though. Here's a shot of dark brown shell Dundees today...

Happy Mardi Gras and I love the Dundees!!
Today, I called in sick (my day job) and worked a four hour Mardi Gras party.
It was so much fun!

Checking in after a month of pretty solid business travel.

After ordering 3 pair for the suede trunk show, I managed to sell 3 pair on ebay. In 2018 I somehow ordered three of the "Road Warriors" F2s while sleep deprived late one night, and never loved (or barely liked) them. Easy choice to let them go to make room for some TS suede. The secondary market does not seem to love them much more than I did, but I cleared enough for some new laces. I will admit to taking my Wilberts on the road with me as true road warriors.

I've never had First Avenues until the last shell trunk show but since getting 2 pair will admit that I miss my worn out Eagle Counties less and less. I will still probably get the Eagle Counties resoled, I've mentioned here before that AE no longer has their wedge sole in my size. I need to decide whether to have a generic wedge sole installed, or go with a more traditional commando type sole. Any recommendations on which way to go?
