After the Record Show and 123 albums purchased. Im feeling good. I didnt know any of the dealers this time but I made some new friends, made some new connects. I saw Don Johnson and Jr Star up in the building getting the choice joints as well.
I was talking to one dealer and I asked him if he owned a store or were the albums from his personal collection. His reply was that he had been collecting and planned on opening a store but just never got around to actually doing it. The pain in his face when he said it brought to mind those lines from Langston Hughes’ A Dream Deferred. He was selling joints for a dollar apiece too and as an Early Bird Customer I made it my duty to make sure noone else got any of his goodies and he had a ton. In additon to my vinyl acquisitions, I also got a new name. Check ME out!
