    It's definitely worth going. Come for the records, stay for the shops, leave with a hangover from my private affaire at the schoppe.

    I can't believe it's that time of year again already. WFMU weekend has become a big time ritual NY trip for me, looking forward to it. Mike, it'll well worth your while. Let's get it in!

    Willing you be "driving" down in your "truck"?

    ... and I love the idea that I would want to pretend to drive a truck

    Trust me, it's not a point of pride.

    Well, really I wasn't trying to mess with you so much as to find out if you'd be there. We'll have to link up.

    And, actually, I was once accused by my then-boss of using his landscaping truck to impress women. He refused to believe that I had added 100 extra miles to the odometer by getting lost; "Naw, naw, you took it down there to show some girl, didn't you?"

    I don't think he had much of a handle on what type of girls I was into.

    Ha, yeah I was just playing along.

    Hopefully I'll make the GRNYC quality hang this time.

    There's a lot of room to get lost in south Georgia.

    There's a lot of room to get lost in south Georgia.

    And a lot of young ladies easily impressed by
    a truck bearing hoses, rakes and bags of soil.

    Why can't you just come clean?

    i'll be there (wfmu show) on saturday, at least for a minute - it's my girl's bday though (dinner suggestions always welcome) so i don't know how long i'll be staying there. i think i'm also going to bring a few records to sell to help offset the cost of the trip.

    so far, i've lined up an appt at the Nike iD store for friday afternoon, plan to play some ping-pong while drinking, and hit up difara's (i'll be staying in brooklyn and queens). what else am i missing?
  • dreas_heardrumsdreas_heardrums 686 Posts

    really wish I could be there.
    I still remember the first time I went when I was still living in NY 10 years ago and ended up spending every single dollar in my pocket. When buying the last record, I was a few dollars short so I gave the seller all my subway tokens completely emptying my pockets. I had to walk home and we lived on the Bergen street stop in Brooklyn...
