    rome is nice .. but fuck it's too darn hot .. i'm not built for this kind of heat !

    later ! peace !

    July is not the time to be in Rome, shit all of the Romans leave town in July and August because of the heat. I do remember there being a record store on Via Flaminia near del popolo that had some equipment. I don't know how cheap it would be though. Seems like an odd thing to be looking for in Rome. Go drink some wine in the shade and eat some good food. There is a great deli at the corner of via giambattiste Vicolo & degli Scialoja which is right around the corner from the record store I mentioned. Go get a sandwhich and sit in the park above the popolo.

    What Cousin Larry said. Plus catch a train to the beach. Food and wine are probably good things to go for.

    Terracina is a daytrip, or even the island of Ponza is doable. The water's lovely.

    Can you give more details about the record stores?
    I might be going there with the family in January, and even though there are loads of better things to be doing with my time there, the family always take time to get out and do stuff in the morning so i could use some record stores to kill time.

    i just got back from a flea market ... porto something ... i forgot the name ... and they had some good records but most of them were like really expensive ... they had colours of chloe for 40E ...
    silent feet for 25E ...
    they were mint ... bust still ... 40E for colours of chloe ... friggin fuck that
    the cheapest shit was 8 euro ... and there were no itallian records ... i found that kinda frustrating since i went there to look for some italian osts ...

    oh well ... i got like another 3 - 4 record shops to check tomorow ...

    coolest shit was this guy selling a tv for 4 euros. now some guy wants to buy that shit and when he tryes to lift it.. he figures it's to heavy ... so he put's the shit down .. takes out a small knife and unscrews the shit. the tv had no circuits inside ... it was filled with bricks ...

    oh and allso this other dude selling a casio sk1 for 2 euros ...


    that's all laterz peace !
