    record swap sounds like a plan...

  • pickwick33pickwick33 8,946 Posts
    I'll try to see if I can make it out to the record swap, at least. This is all happening the same week as the Chicago Blues Festival, so hopefully I can be in two places at once...

    I love the Darkroom. Such a chill spot and almost always good DJs.

    Hairy Gibbons might make it to the Saturday danceathon if provided enough fruit cocktail. Rackord swappin should be in heavy effect.

    Pickwick33 pointed out I didn't do a wrapup of the weekend in Chicago. And I probably won't do one. Though I had a motherfucking blast. Minus the 30+ minute wait at every restaurant in the city. And they call us southerners slow.

    Here's some stats.

    -----------------------
    DCASTILLO - great to catch up with the nicest strutter in the midwest
    PICKWICK33 - got your records bro
    TERRYCLUBBUP - Yes I got your funk in their mod
    LUCK - always with the three-foot stack of 45s to listen to
    SEXYBNYCE - northern soul + macking = jealous strutters + ladies
    DCARFAGNA - 110% faded is better than not seeing you at all my man
    Am I missing any of you guys?

    LUCK - always with the three-foot stack of 45s to listen to

    Learning, man. Learning. I'm making up for a lifetime of force-fed Praise and Worship.

    I was trying to say goodbye to you (and mabye squeeze in a quick grope), but you'd split the scene at Delilah's. I'll see you again, and with even longer hair next time.

    Wish you could've seen my upcoming set at the Clarence Reid/Hermon Hitson/Ralph Jackson/Roscoe Robinson show. Until we meet again, bud.
