to answer your questions and to add to SS's recent contemplation on hippies: late on a tuesday night a couple summers ago a friend of mine was dumpster diving at one of her regular health food store spots, which happens to share a dumpster with a sound production company. she found records. knowing that i was dj'ing nearby, she walked over to the club and handed me a nice stack of themes. later, another friend and i grabbed a car and went to the spot. we unloaded 700+.
any other garbage stash stories here? what about having other people show up before you finish the haul? it almost happened to us. the whole process took at least a couple hours. it was particularly slow as we approached the bottom where records were marinating in rotting vegetable gunk.

I???ma hijack this thread for a minute (what???s up Eric!)
To introduce myself: Long-time Soulstrut lurker. The other half of the ???ultimate instant collection!!!??? mentioned above. Mostly collect/listen to records but also DJ at a monthly in Ottawa called Timekode (www.timekode.com). Finally got a Soulstrut account cause I got some ISH ideas, got tired of not being able to contribute to the weekly finds, and want to list some ebay auctions in the sale classifieds. Grew up in Toronto, I like curry goat.
