it's what made the day possible! and their chocolate croissants.
I swear when I enter that room I get like 3x more hungover
I think your body is just reacting to nerd sweat and record dust. I wonder if Roid Rage dude will show again...
werd pharoahe monch is playing on sat night so im gonna be steaming on sunday morning.. ugh!
A,
I didn't see you when I left to say bye.
Good to see some strutters out 'n' aboot.
Big up to Kevin (sipreano) and Dane for being such gents (Dane i will get you back in some way for giving me that record). Saw DOR , Aaron (tuneup) and other heads in attendance .. Supertoaster , you were there?? No hello for me?
i got some pretty ill stuff for pretty cheap too (thank you senor vishal/general eclectic/warwick/others)
Duh. ok in that case I didn't know you as 'Bassie' .. haha that is funny though. I feel kind of dumb but not too dumb. Thank you again for the bags , without them I would have been in a lot of trouble and would be dropping records on the sidewalk and cracking them
Glad to help!
still found some nice stuff. still had some nice coffee. I didn't introduce myself to anyone new, but for reference I wore purple. also I have a fairly distinct look of constant bewilderment on my face.
sounds like a good time. Spring please come soon.
i bought from two people, the young guys at the back (one had the dilla tshirt on), and the guy at the opposite end, a lot older..
oh yeah and also some balding dude with glasses, middle aged.. bought some jungle records from him. he tried to do an english accent after i said hi, and didnt pull it off

the matata is definitely the top piece i got.. i am loving that one.the 45s and 12" are:
45s
the sheltons - The Cat / That's All
Harry Ray - Next Time That I see You / Sweet baby
Oscar Peterson Trio - Incoherent Blues / Mumbles
Derrick Harriot - Brown Baby / version
Cupit - Squeeze You Knees / Trainman (akiwawa)
Wreckin Crew - You Don't Care / Found The Groove
12"
Panache - Sweet Music / Sweet Jazz Music (reissue)
Pet Shop Boys - West End girls (i forget why i bought this...$2?)
Larry Heard pres. Mr White - You Rock Me / the sun can't compare
I had a good time, but went through everything surprisingly quickly. Here's what I got, and who I got it from:
Highlight was Ananda Shankar, which I bought from the guy beside Symon (who I remember had good records at the last record show).
Bought a copy of L'Initiation OST from a guy named George over by the bar.
Bought Henri Texier and Marcos Valle's Brazilliance from a bearded guy.
Bought a copy of Lani Hall's Sun down lady and a Nico Gomez bootleg from the guy closest to the door.
Were any of those people strutters?
I had no idea you were a soulstrut head ... I went to Sean's table earlier in the day and listened to that Matata record , the shit was staying in my head so I had to come back for it. sorry if it seemed like I was rushing the crate, I just knew that was the one record i wanted to spend a bit on so I wanted to grab it before someone else did.
None of those people were strutters , unless it could have been Tuneup who had a bunch of boxes on a table near the door..to your left if you come through the door. lots of 70s soul and jazz stuff .. i didn't even get a chance to go through his records , I was all over the place for that show.
glad to see you got some good ones though , theres a show at that hotel / banquet center on Dixie Road in about a month i hear..
the website should be www.vibrations.ca (if porn comes up it is not my fault)
That convention centre show seems like it could be good, or really bad KISS memorabilia... Getting to Mississagua via TTC seems like a trek though.
Late to the game.

Nothing out of the ordinary, just filling some gaps in my collection. Also, Super Toaster and I were there for only an hour.
No, we were both hatless and digging at the far end, carrying the Vestax portables. We were there just after it opened. I'm pretty sure I saw you walking around, being the only lady among the sweaty record nerds.
