"Black Music/Disco/House" is one, as is "Progressive/Beat/Rock" and I think there is one more section of "Metal/Punk" which is an extension of rock, and has a mixture of psych/rock/metal. That being said, in April it seemed that these lines are a little more blurred. There was rock in the "black section", and soul/breaks in the psych section, and to be honest the metal section was rock and all other. Obviously dealers bring a bit of everything as well, so it's not like someone wouldn't spend time in the sections that don't matter to them. There is also another giant hall with lp's that isn't on the map because it's more toys (ala Star Wars and dolls) which contains another 200 or so dealers, and in this show you'll find lp's also. I've found some nice pieces in the toy hall, which I didn't get to until spending 10-12 hours in the main hall. lol. b,121b, 21On the segregation thing, I have an interesting story. I was in Amsterdam digging and a friend had come along to hang out in Amsterdam and split the room cost with me. I was in a store and the owner looked at him and said "Can I help you?" since he was standing around, and he replied as a joke "I want Black!". The owner without even thinking said "What kind of Black? Jazz Black? Disco Black? Rock Black?"b,121b, 21It's not uncommon to find any genre of music with an African American on the front in the "Black Section". They don't care what's on the lp, it's what's on the cover. Easy Listening, Rock, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Library, OST = Black if there is an African American on it. Doesn't make diggin fun if you're into Jazz...lolb,121b, 21Anyhow, I'll PM you on Waxidermy about the table etc... Thanks
