Whom You Know Checks out White Collar and Thomas Pink in Rockefeller Center Again Today: Update!


The Whom You Know panel checked this out a second day in a row; here is our report:


We arrived at 7:15am which was smart as one of our friends arrived at around 8am, big difference from when we arrived!  Some folks who arrived around 8:30am got scared away when security told them it'd be a 5 hour wait. 


A female panel member stated:
"I went to bed around 12:30am, got up at 6am, and arrived at the line at around 7:10am.  There were approximately 50-60 people ahead of me.  By the time I got the measurements done, it was already 9:15am, so a 2 hr wait.  My friend arrived closer to 8am but by then the line was wrapped around a few times & they told him it'd be around a 4 hr wait.  Since there was security everywhere & barricades, I couldn't let my friend line up with me.  It was a bit more lenient earlier in the morning though when line was shorter.  I picked the tailored-fit shirt in a white herringbone fabric, with french cuffs.  I don't think it's a custom-made shirt, the key word is custom-fit, which I take to mean someone custom-measured you so that you get the size best suited for you.  For the women, they measured only bust & waist.  If it's a custom-made shirt, they'd need to take many other measurements too.  The men got measured in more places, I think their shirts should fit them better.  Also, we're supposed to get the shirts fed-ex'ed to us within 10 days."
