Happy Record Store Day

is it a coincidence RSD is the day after Cannabis day?

interesting...

I went to Electric Fetus in Minneapolis at 9:30 this morning and received a number when I walked in (#317) and was told they were letting folks into the "special" area in order. At that time they were on number 52, so I gave up and went to Treehouse Records instead. It was also crowded, but I was able to get in pretty quickly and got the one item I was after: Grateful Dead Dark Star '72. I am listening to it now and it sounds fantastic, so I am glad I went. I didn't find anything else that I just had to have but I am satisfied.

Found what I wanted too! Lots of people out shopping here in NYC too. One place had a line around the block - that surprised me. Good to see!

Twist & Shout in Denver had close to 300 people lined up before they opened.

We went over to Black & Read and there was a much smaller crowd there.

My haul:

Genesis Spot The Pigeon EP Audio Fidelity 12" blue vinyl 33 1/3 and 45RPM

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals Grace Potter & The Nocturnals: Live at the Legendary Sun Studios Hollywood 12" Vinyl & CD

Various Artists Empire Records Soundtrack Ume 2 x 12" orange vinyl

Various Artists Pretty In Pink Soundtrack UMe 12" pink vinyl

Various Artists The Breakfast Club Soundtrack UMe 12" white vinyl

Plus a few others. Overall an excellent day. I was very glad to see so many people supporting their local stores. This is my new special holi"day" :-)
