Props to EMS

Prior to Sandie's XXth birthday, the girl and I decided to take a leisurely drive down to Annapolis and visit the newly re-situated Eastern Mountain Sports to use the 20%/15% coupon going on these days. My specific purpose was to get a new pair of climbing shoes, since I've been going through mine relatively quickly of late.

So, we arrived, I checked out the shoes, and saw (to my shock and amazement) that the La Sportiva Miura's were on sale for 15% off! I asked the guy whether that was on top of the 20% for the coupon, and, rather than saying "Oh, that's a mistake. Sorry!" he said, "Yes, it is." Woo hoo! 35% off of new Miura's, which is nothing to shake a stick at! (Where the hell does that saying come from, anyway?) So, I found the shoes, took them to the register, and was not surprised to discover that the 15% didn't register, though the 20% did. I asked about it, and the manager confirmed that it was a mistake, but honored the 15% anyway.

EMS, you're awesome! Thanks! I got a $155 for $105! I'm happy, too, because (as I stated before) these are the best shoes ever! Once I kill the resole I have on my eVolv Defy shoes (also a good pair), I'll jump right into these!
