yeah yeah ANNOUNCEMENTS section but I'll do it proper up in there this is just a place to get a ROLL CALL and post pictures of a faded and jaded AxeFoley after the swap is done. As of now the plan is MAY 15 (sunday) with the 22nd as the rain date. y'all know the drill but if any youngbloods are on the lurk anybody is welcome to set up and sell, just let me know first so I can keep track and make sure there is room, and I don't ask any payment except that you bring some beer/wine/nitrous tanks for the pile, and hopefully have a beer with me before noon. my house and front yard are right on the main drag of my neighborhood, which is hipster/student/yuppie central, and with the word of mouth on this sale lately, you will have chance to unload a decent amount of records, trade records with (mostly) non-douchey collectors, and have a pretty good time doing it. you might even fall in love.

    You should???Boston is beautiful in mid-May. Of course, as an ex-student, I'm sure you remember those gorgeous end of semester days well.

    well, it starts at 11 but anyone that has set up will tell you that I am usually wiping crust from my eyes and carrying boxes out to the yard around 10:57 having been awake for 5 minutes, so reports of "early bird" action are greatly exaggerated. I usually run straight to Dan's boxes to get 1st dibs over there but usually regret missing a chance to sneak peek stuff.

  • oh okayyy hope I get to actually make this one

    Can't wait for the JP show. I won't be selling this time around, but I will def be there for trades and shopping and of course beer delivery.

    Ha ha! I was waiting for that.

    Yeah, after Kieths last summer, I haven't restocked at all and I am down to minimal sheer grippage titles. My ikea is bare bones, and dudes aren't really checking for the Shalamar and 50's Cha Cha records that I got left over in my sales crates. I'll defintiely be down for some trades, though

    Alot of my Sales crates will be my friends stuff, raising a newborn is tough business, i haven't been hitting the fleas/thrifts/yard sales like i used to, not saying thats why you haven't been stocking up Dan, but thats my excuse. My trade bag will be full though, lots of goodies, even some 45's (whaaaaaaaa????)

    Not going to be able to make it :( We're trying to get our house on the market and way too much to do!

    One of these years!

  • DB_CooperDB_Cooper Manhatin' 7,823 Posts
    Yeah, I won't be able to either. Tess's brother bought Sox-Yankees tickets for all of us and her mom, so there' no getting out of that one. On the bright side, I will be going to the Sox-Yankees game. Tell err-body I said "woot woot" doe.

    looks like it might not rain until later? hmmmmm

    this is now *officially* POSTPONED until next Sunday, 5/22. the weather has just turned worse and worse and not getting better, with an 80% chance of rain during the scheduled time. I hate to do it but maybe it will mean some people who could not come tomorrow will get to come next week! Holler and I hope this does not cause problems for anyone, believe me today has had me near tears with frustration.
