I took my lady to a record show on Sunday, and she embarrassed me. This old-schooler was making a few boogie picks for me when she said right in front of him (also a record store owner) and the dealer, "Oh, he's making recommendations for you, that's so cute." She did run into the gay partner of her friend's uncle, who ended up hooking up a few deals (no homo).
My girl grew up around estate sales and auctions (NRR) and all that, then worked at a record store before I met her, etc. etc., so she's got a great eye for quality, and loves flea markets, thrift stores and all that. That's basically every weekend for both of us. I go out early by myself, pick her up, then go back out to more spots with her later in the morning. Now that she's in grad school, though, she's lacking the time and money, so I'm on my own more. Or she'll still tag along but not buy so much. Sometimes she'll just pull stuff out for me to buy or scout other parts of the flea market for when I'm done with the spot I'm at.
i had a gf one time who was all into hiphop and "loved" records, and wanted turntables, wanted to be a dj etc. she would go diggin with me and i would find good shit that i didnt need so i would throw it her way. she ended up amassing about 3 crates of pretty decent stuff, even 1 or 2 records i wanted off of her. when she would go diggin with me, she would get bored easily after half an hour
we're been broken up 3 years now and i seriously doubt she has gone diggin once since then.
the next girl i dated, we were in vegas and she went with me to a shop and waited very patiently while i dug around for what was probably a good hour. she dont talk to me no more and i havent taken a girl with me diggin since. i dont know of many guys who can hang on a 8+hour diggin mission, let alone a girl who could. i imagine a few from this board would be up for it though.
Which one of these lovely ladies was responsible for the quote in your location? I'm assuming it was the latter, since I don't remember it being three years ago...
i took a girlfriend record buying once and felt like a total asshole after. i spent about two hours and would have left earlier but i hardly get out to that spot. i would only take a girl to a record store with me if they asked because honestly shits incredibly boring to people who aren't into it.
Not talking about all that, "my girl knew I wanted this record and she gave it to me"
Me and a girl might could do the fleas, but honestly she is asleep when I'm doing any real flea digging... maybe we'll walk by one at like 2pm and I might browse through some records. Or a thrift, but there has to be something else, shoes, jewelry, art, clothes, furniture.... Old girl sees more than a box or two of records and it's a wrap. A dig? Are you crazy? What the fuck would I bring a girl along for? I wouldn't let my girl around most of these record dude types.
And all this "pat on the back" hey baby great you scored! is straight poptartism.
cause i'm feeling all festive and shit, and you seemed down.
I got great birthday presents, from a few different girls! but no records. I did buy some though. And Justin said he was gonna send me something but he's a pot head....
Whos gonna watch my youngins?... when would I get a break from the crying and wailing? Hell most of the time when I go digging, I feel guilty about not being with the fam... I dont know who I am anymore.

I had a similar situation. Problem was, I kinda thought of her records as my records. I would have her buy things I wanted so I could use them or cop them off her later. Long story short, we had a messy break up, she pawned off the records w/out telling me, and I was devastated. Well played on her part. I had to go down to the record shop to buy some of them back but most the butter joints were snagged by the employees.
My current lady goes with me sometimes. She looks for her own records. She has a few crates. After my past experience, i pretty much leave hers alone. Don't want to get to attached.
The last girl I hung out with who would actually go with me was simply a great collectro herself, and had fantastic taste. Unfortunately, this would lead to beefs over records, she had a habit of coveting things I found and being angry with me for buying them. Even the fact that I would more often than not stash something for her in my pile and buy it for her on the sneak tip, and give it to her outside, would rarely be enough to stop her pouting that shopping with me sucked cause I "sharked all the good records." Admittedly, there were times the tables were turned, when she would pull heat and I would be holding a pile of dollar jazz records, and be thinking, "if I were here alone, I would have had all those goodies " Still, it's fun being close to people who have the same tastes and obsessions as you - I love how at Christmas or her Birthday I can give her dope albums, and she gets all excited. And she always has cool records to show to me and play on her audiophile turntable & kooky nutty cartridge when I go to her house.

Ain't nothing poptart-ish about sharing the love for recs with a ladyfriend. Now dragging your lady around if it ain't her thing is strictly waktarted. You will suffer if you do so, trust me.
Where the fuck are you finding these girls who like records? I've met like 2 in my life that have been remotely attractive. My gf now wants to kill me over RR stuff that happened tonight. The couch seems comfy....

Hey,
Actually, my wife is quite the music fan and has very diverse tastes in music. Sometimes, she flips through the record bins with me. Usually though, she finds a bookstore and gets engrossed there since she's an avid reader as well. Nice Price Books in Raleigh was nice because it had both books and records, so she'd go her way, and I'd go mine. Wifey is mad cool, making her even more easy to love!!! She could school many women on how to keep a man happy by not being a fuckin' pest, or insecure, or clingy, etc., etc. Let a man live and he'll never leave. Science!!!!

Tell her to remember that shit when you're rollin into 20 minutes between the legs with a tongue cramp.

YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID JUSTIN????!!!!????
you 2 need your own thread. It doesn't have to be fancy or anything, just everyday chit chat shit. I'm working right now and I'm very stoned and this shit is beyond entertaining.

For real, brother. I've known a couple in the past, but girl's just hold back my game.
You must take her to diner and buy her jewelry.
