There was a riot goin' on...

Well, not exactly a riot, or even a disturbance, but it was something to help fill a sixty-degree November Sunday void of golf. No starting time available. My fault, I should have called for one during the week even without commitments from the others. Probably would have shot 74, too. This was the first record show for me in over ten years. I used to frequent the shows over at the Sheraton in Waterbury, which seemed much larger. I'm amazed at the volume of vinyl still being played. I must get rid of my old collection at some point because I am way too lazy to play them (imagine, you have to turn the record over every twenty minutes!).

Purchased today at the Record Riot in Cromwell:

A Woman A Man Walked By (PJ Harvey & John Parish)

Keep Your Soul; A Tribute To Doug Sahm (Various Artists)

Frozen Ropes & Dying Quails (Various Artists)

The Essential George Jones: The Spirit of Country (George Jones)

Comments heard:
"Worked at Shaboo the last few years it was there. Great, crazy times, man. All the greats played there at some point."
"There was the time at a show in East Hartford where the FBI came in and started closing down the place. Freaky."
"The shows in Brooklyn are cool. DJs, food, booze. Fred Schneider drops in all the time. He's a regular guy"
"Owned a storefront shop for three years, then another for nine. Don't think I'll be doing that again."

Last Record/CD Riot of 2009! From JP's Music Blog (Record-Journal).
This Sunday, November 8th, the Cromwell Record/CD Riot! makes it's final showing of 2009. This might be your last chance to pick-up some rare vinyl or some cheap CDs, DVDs, T-shirts and more to keep you busy this winter. The Crowne Plaza in Cromwell, off exit 21 from I-91, and will be packed with vendors selling away their goods to make room for next year. The doors open at 9:30 am and admission is only $3, but if you're an early bird, $10 will get you in the door at 8 am to be the first to grab those deals. Don't forget, Christmas is right around the corner and this might be a good chance to get an early jump on some Christmas presents for that special someone or even for yourself. Also, sign up to the mailing list to receive admission discounts and updates on upcoming shows for 2010.
