February 23, 201016 yr Free-ish vinyl? My guess is you'll be mobbed. Speaking of vinyl, aren't there some kick-ass records stores in town? From a previous visit I seem to remember one that not only had vinyl, but a band that I actually had heard of playing the back room.
February 23, 201016 yr I would love to be mobbed for my vinyl. And it is definitely free - any donation is voluntary. I just want to be sure it's worth the effort to pack it up and carry it. You're the first to even nibble! Thanks for the interest- anyone else think the vinyl would go? In terms of stores, I think Music Direct sells vinyl. More of a catalogue store, hard to find, in a warehouse somewhere downtown. I got totally lost the one time I went. But they seem to have every CD and SACD ever made! Might be worth a stop! But be careful, I went just to browse some equipment, and walked out with about 8 discs and a weeping credit card!
February 24, 201016 yr Wow, thanks, Bryan! Look forward to seeing you at CJ! And if you want to get into vinyl, I've got some for you!
February 25, 201016 yr If only there wasn't that dastardly Memorial Day weekend preceding the week of CanJam to interfere with anticipated holiday plans, otherwise I probably would've flown out even earlier. I seem to have screwed up, a bit. Didn't make the Memorial Day connection. Time to rethink things a bit (or try and change the vacation).
February 25, 201016 yr Wow, thanks, Bryan! Look forward to seeing you at CJ! And if you want to get into vinyl, I've got some for you! absolutely, we gunna get crunk. or something. last thing i need is to be tempted with vinyl right now lol, much as i'd like to .
February 25, 201016 yr Author I would like to grab at free prog-rock vinyl with my sweaty, wotsit dust coated hands.
February 25, 201016 yr Thanks, Duggeh! Sorry, but I don't think prog-rock even existed when I was buying vinyl. But a fair amount of classic rock, and it would be great to meet you! Stop and say hi!
February 25, 201016 yr It looks like I'll be arriving early Thursday morning and leaving Sunday morning. Marc and I are flying in together from Austin, and I'll be sharing a room with Fitz, so it should prove to be a blast!
February 25, 201016 yr It looks like I'll be arriving early Thursday morning and leaving Sunday morning. Marc and I are flying in together from Austin, and I'll be sharing a room with Fitz, so it should prove to be a blast! That sounds like a dangerous (read fun) combination.
February 25, 201016 yr To all the foreigners, remember that when you arrive at the hotel, please PM/call one of the crew members so we can meet up and show you around town, maybe go into downtown and the city and get krunked or something. Last day of school for me is June 1st I think and after that I am all canjam fo sho.

February 26, 201016 yr BTW when I say "foreigners" that also includes Americans that are foreign to the chicagoland area:) Alternatively, "all sensible, right-thinking people."
February 26, 201016 yr getting in good with the organizers is first on my agenda Me too! BTW when I say "foreigners" that also includes Americans that are foreign to the chicagoland area:) Good save, but Alaska is close enough to a foreign country at any rate, so I should qualify regardless.
February 26, 201016 yr It looks like I'll be arriving early Thursday morning and leaving Sunday morning. Marc and I are flying in together from Austin, and I'll be sharing a room with Fitz, so it should prove to be a blast! Yeah!!!!
February 26, 201016 yr getting in good with the organizers is first on my agenda Me too! ... Yeah!!!! So, how much Shiner Bock do I need to get?
February 26, 201016 yr Heh, your part of texas qualifies too No truer words have ever been spoken. So, how much Shiner Bock do I need to get? I'm a total lightweight, although I just get full long before I get too tipsy.
