Yesterday was certainly interesting! Work was more stressful than usual but I also had some fun. =] We had The Beatles blaring as usual and we had a "karaoke" day, so I got some music into my morning/afternoon. I got off and immediately went home to check the fluids in my car so I could go to a record store out of town. Other than an almost huge mistake (what's the difference between coolant and transmission fluid anyways?! ;) we were off and running around six o'clock.
But OH, wait! Good ole googlemaps couldn't be trusted apparently! We ended up in a different city. So we stopped at Taco Johns (which I must say, was a bit of a heavenly detour) and asked for some re-direction. On our way to our original destination, I spotted a record store! Go me! Except... they were completely picked over of Record Store Day items. I mean, not one thing was left. I did dig through their used, but only found one worth having.
Onward and upward, we continued on our journey. When we finally got to our original destination (which was nowhere near where googlemaps had told us it would be) I fell in love with the store.... or maybe just the cute guy who talked to me about the Fleetwood Mac, Sharon Jones, The Budos Band, and Daptone in general... either way, they had some stuff left over, but none in any of my many interests.
Moral of the story? I only got one record on Record Store Day. I had a great time though. I love adventures =]

a record in hand is worth two in the store.
you might have luck calling around to a few stores to see if they have anything left they would ship you.
Thanks. Good idea. I know Dusty Groove isn't letting anything go until locals have the chance to sift through first. It is probably for the best, I could spend a literal fortune on vinyl.
Try stores that aren't in big cities, even in other parts of the country. They might have been shopped lighter.
Good idea. It doesn't solve the money issue... it probably makes it worse! =]
It only comes one day a year. Do it for the vinyl.
OH, the things I would do for vinyl! Nobody has to force my hand on records, that is for sure! I'm obsessed! I like your thinking though!
