Plus it’s Moontower Comedy Festival weekend! What a great time I’m having but I’ll write more about the Moontower later. Today is about the kickoff to the Geek/Nerd High Holidays starting with music.
The problem is that both were at the same time so I failed to get up early enough to enjoy the initial festivities at Waterloo Records around 8 AM. There’s always a line around the corner and then some. This year I strolled in around noon after working out at the gym, not to brag. Despite the diehards picking the store clean of the big deals re-issued for RSD, I was sucked in by a few things on vinyl because they came with digital downloads or they’re too damned awesome to pass up; now I need to find someone with a turntable with USB to convert the files to MP3s.
One day I hope to have my nephews or nieces accompany me to Waterloo Records, show them how to really shop for music and demonstrate a different way to appreciate it.
