I thought there was a thread about this already but I didn't see one?
Who's going? Is it inappropriate to go if you are poor and have no money?
-
Saturday's the day, Kitty! We're getting a gang together for afters.
I"m not likely to buy a ton of stuff myself .... I really want to see the Dolly Parton documentary, and Terre T's super secret band, whoever that might be.
-
I'm really hoping to make it on Saturday, but it's still iffy and I may have to go on Friday instead. But either way, broke or not (Closer to broke then not), I'm going!
-
Hot! I'm down to join you if you'll have me, AC ;D
-
Oh, yeah - and I think JustSheaNo and Kiemzi really get the credit for the initial launch of this here thing - I didn't mean to steal the thunder of inviting people!
Bonnie is in town as well, and then there's Scratchbomb and Burjz. Anyone else coming Saturday?
-
Heard last night there was a surprise guest playing at 4 on Saturday. Any idea?

still not announced. I thought Terre T said it would be announced this morning but I don't see anything on the WFMU site yet.
-
I'll be there, doing some Norton Records pillaging.
I'll also be at the door, turning away paupers, vagrants, and kittykittymeowmixhead's.

Terre gave a very broad hint last night. She said that they're really HEAVY. I'll give another one: They're NOT GARBAGE. Got it?

Doink! I just got it. Excellent!

... and it was just announced too, during the nanosecond I wasn't looking on the twitter.

I am going to be going Saturday. I hope there are plans for a mini gathering as I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms since last months FOT Gathering. I will be the one dressed up like a Juggalo meets a Parrothead. Is there someone on twitter I am not following that is working on more details of this? or should I stick to following this thread?

I think I've got it. The Melvins, right?
-
is it that kid who did "Explosion"?

That's awesome. I should have known, though. Terre T was playing them a lot last week on her show.

Heyyyy. I can probably scrounge the admission fee from the couch. ;)

As long as you pass The Test. When I pick you up by your ankles and shake you upside down, I need to hear enough change jingling around.
-
I'll be there Sunday morning at 10. Sure to be a party zone at that time.
-
Saturday morning! I'm psyched. Fantasy baseball winnings to be made to good use.
-
Saturday evening, just before seeing John Oliver & Friends!

I'd make the drive up from Buffalo if this were the case.

Hey, come to this afterwards, it's close by:
http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,6053.0.html (http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,6053.0.html)
We'll need a report on what PFT was wearing.

Don't you mean "Piranha"?

HEY FOTs!
My name is George and although I don't post much I definitely keep tabs over here between shows. Anyways, I'll be doing some filming at the Record Fair on Saturday. I just got the OK from Ken Freeman this morning and I'm excited. I'm basically going to be asking attendees about their record shopping experiences. Stuff like:
"What's the coolest record you've ever randomly stumbled upon?"
"What's the record you're always keeping your eyes peeled for?"
"What's the best thing you scored today?"
It'll be for a 10-15 minute short I'm working on about record collecting.
If anyone sees a tall brunette guy with glasses filming people that's me. I'd love to meet you and get your own experience on camera if you're interested. Maybe I'll see ya there!

Yes, please.

What time is the best time to arrive, then, the fun/posse?

I"m not sure we'd gotten that far, really - Record fair closes at 7, right? Like, sometime then? Or earlier if people need to eat? Some people are volunteering till 7 so it's all kind of loosey goosey. We all need walkie talkies for tomorrow.
-
Hmm. In that case I'll swing by closer to 7 as opposed to away from it.
-
I'll be at the Record Fair tomorrow bright and early to see the Scopitones! I'm driving in from Philadelphia for the day. Anybody know anything anout parking around the Record Fair? Cost? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is my first Record Fair and I'm very excited!

I want to see the Scopitones too - it's been way too long. I had a fuck-ton of them on a VHS tape and I lent it out.
If I can get my fat ass out of bed at a reasonable hour I'll see you there ...you gonna stick around for FOT snuggies later?

People, if you see anyone who looks remotely like Malcolm Jamal Warner lurking around the record fair, make whatever excuse you have to to talk to them and if it is spike, twitpic that shit!

The plan for now is that rec fair (and a bunch of volunteer shifts) end at 7, so people should get their dinner on if need be and then meet at a bar. The bar in the running, as Auntie Christina helpfully mentioned (http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,6053.0.html), is WXOU, but we will reconfirm. Hit me up at twitter dot com slash justsheano around 745 or 8 for clarification.

I'm volunteering in the AV room from 1-4, then cramming my shopping (and rubbernecking at Terre T's live set) into about an hour or so afterwards. Then I gotta run out because I have family in town, though my brother & sister might come to the record fair.
-
Somebody spend a buck on a bad record in my behalf!
-
DfK, i'm sorry to disappoint you, but i went yesterday and bought NO records. I was taking my volunteering shift so seriously I didn't have enough time!
Great meeting all of you that came out... have fun, everybody who's going today... now you all have to spend two bucks, one for me and one for DfK!
-
Now that the fair is winding down, I would love to hear what people got.
I got The Sonics' first album, Captain Beefheart "Lick My Decals Off, Baby" and a 45 of Wings "Let 'Em In."
-
I feel pretty lame with what I got, but I do want to limit my LP collection to evergreens that I can listen to over and over -- I have a hard drive that I can fill with musical oddities.
Anyhow:
-The 4 LP set of Nuggets (this marks the first time I've bought multiple editions of the same album -- I already have the 1976 2 LP edition with the Kelley Mouse Studios cover that looks like an issue of Zap Comix, but basically has what's on the first CD, and am keeping it).
-John Coltrane, My Favorite Things
-Miles Davis, Birth of the Cool
-Johnny Cash, Live At San Quentin
-The Clash, Sandinista
-Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Rust Never Sleeps and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (note that I got used copies of BOTH of these records and did not get suckered into the overpriced 180 gram reissues at the Warner Records table)
-The Velvet Underground, ...And So On
Yawn, I know. If I was really cool, I'd collect 45s.
-
I don't know shit about rare records and don't really care, but I bought some pretty sweet ones. Got EVOL, Undertones s/t, New Day Rising, Stands for Decibels, and The Cramps' Psychedelic Jungle.
-
I got:
Wire - Read & Burn 03
Black Dice - Broken Ear Record
Death Cab - Transatlanticism
Nick Cave/Bad Seeds - Angel & the Blues
Roxy Music - Manifesto
Roxy Music - Stranded
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - CYHSY!
Coachwhips - Bangers Vs. Fuckers
GBV - Pipe Dreams of Instant Prince Whippet
-
Since I couldn't go to the record fair, I went nuts on Discogs instead and ordered a bunch of soul 45s and early 80s r&b. It's not the same, but it's something.

Soothe yourself with purchases, Martin.
