Austin Record Convention this week

[Dave Baldwin]

Anybody going to the Austin Show this week?
(and who's actually got a table this time)? I'll be
at the "Louie Schwartz" table on Friday.

Report card:
Overall show = C (no drama...but no thrill ride either)
Peter B's garage box = B-
Jason's garage box = A-
(I didn't do the hotels, so maybe I missed something)

I had fun. Bought a bunch of records. Sold a bunch of records. Agreed that Jason and Peter sold me the items I liked the most, not like I needed there to be a convention to buy from those two... Always nice to rifle through some junker's stack of sleeveless 45s though.
Prefer when there are more teens who just got their first turntable buying my records as opposed to the records ending up with dealers who are just looking to squeak another markup out of em but... Both make the records go away so that is good too.
Went to Austin on Wednesday (day earlier than usual for me) and thought that I would find a ton more stuff, only to find that the ecoli-lodge was pretty deserted until check in time of thursday. Spent a little extra bread and stayed at the Best Western which was waaaaaay better experience than the North Austin Plaza's cracked out rooms.
