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.

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!

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).

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!

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.

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.

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. :)

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.
