When one hears "Maine Shoemakers," either L.L. Bean or Quoddy comes to mind, but there is another company that's just as good in my opinion. Rancourt & Company have been making quality shoes since 1964. Anyways, they custom made me some shoes and they will soon be at my shop.

Rug Life

Finally, a good rug with some character that didn't break the bank. I picked this one up for under $500 from one of my favorite shop's, Inheritance. It's about 6 x 9 and an oldie. It's nice to find an old rug that wasn't flea'ed out.

Master of Film Music w/ JNH

I got see me prior boss perform with the Dallas Symphony. This wasn't you typical symphony show. James and Co. played/talked/discussed the various films he has laid down music for. Throw in a q&a with Lawrence Kasdan, a choir, and a world renowned symphony, and it was a very cool experience.

Philip Maysles

When I was in NYC we went to the Red Rooster in Harlem. It was definitely one of the best spots I've been to food and vibewise. One of the things I really liked about the restaurant was the art on the wall. A waiter told me it was Philip Maysles and I am now thinking I might have to purchase a piece of his.

KIOSK

I literally walked by this when in NYC and lit up realizing it was the actual KIOSK that I've always loved. We went up a flight of stairs and stumbled upon the best unique shop I've probably ever been to. I am not that good of a writer to tell you how great this place is. You just need to go. Or at least go to their site.
