May 20, 201016 yr comment_355307 I have a need to go here while in Chicago Reckless Records Chicago: New & Used LPs, CDs, DVDs, games & more - index.php I used to live by the Broadway location and was a regular. Nice little store. A bit grungy, but nice selection of used stuff. Also used to be a few shops down from the city's best adult toy store ... For those who are into such things ... Can't remember the name though. Great little neighborhood. Geographically called 'Lakeview', culturally called 'Boy's Town', because of the large gay population, so lots of nice restaurants and interesting shops. The Gay Pride parade marches right down that street and is something to behold. Only one neighborhood north of Lincoln Park, and just east of Wrigley Field, also worth a visit.

Their grading is very good and prices were excellent. If you do get the chance, stop in. They have three locations I believe. Report
May 20, 201016 yr comment_355350 I've had a family situation come up and will not be able to attend. Unfortunately my presence is necessary and I can not avoid being there nor work around the situation. Too effing bad. I had hoped to finally meet all of you attending CanJam and making some friends within the HC community. Maybe another year or another event. Wishing all of you going the best of times. al Report
May 20, 201016 yr comment_355355 Bummer aimless, but there will be other meets and we all understand that family comes first. Report
May 20, 201016 yr comment_355367 Sorry to hear that Al. Hope everything on the home front works out for you and if nothing else I'll see you in Michigan next year. Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Report

May 23, 201016 yr comment_356099 I was really hoping to get to this one, but a conflict came up and I've got to go down to NC instead. I will get to another one of these if I have to host a DC Canjam myself. I may curse myself for having written that. Report

May 23, 201016 yr comment_356161 I have a need to go here while in Chicago Reckless Records Chicago: New & Used LPs, CDs, DVDs, games & more - index.php There are quite a few little record shops spread around Chicago. Off the top of my head, Laurie's Planet of Sound in my neighborhood, Hard Boiled Records in Roscoe Village (~a mile or 2 south of LPoS), Vintage Vinyl up in Evanston (which is right across the street from Audio Consultants if you need some Ayre power amps and Wilson Speakers while you're in town), 2nd Hand Tunes (also in Evanston), Dusty Groove which I've never been to, and the venerable Jazz Record Mart which is downtown. There also used to be a few more near Reckless, but I haven't been to them in years, and I don't know if they are still around. Report

May 25, 201016 yr comment_356559 hirsch, we're going to hold you to that: camjam dc! Yes indeed! How many more locations do we have before potentially getting into reruns?

May 25, 201016 yr comment_356634 I have never been to hot dougs, but it would be worth a visit. I did grow up on Superdawgs though. Whatever recipe they use for their dogs is smoking. Report
May 25, 201016 yr comment_356639 I feel a hot dog throwdown is in order ... how late are these joints open? Nothing better than a couple of dogs at 2 am. Report
May 25, 201016 yr comment_356646 Superdawgs I believe has late night weekend hours, maybe 1 or 2 AM. I think Hot Doug's is a more normal establishment in terms of hours. Report
