jafant, I haven't researched NC for all shows. I've been on the mailing list for this particular one for over twenty years and have missed maybe two times. With all of the new and on-line stuff I buy, I do relegate my spending here to around $100.00 for two reasons, one is the obvious and the second is it allows me to make more smart decisions on what is most important to me.
What I've noticed over the past twenty years is the increased attendance and a lot more female buyers. Last time, I was beside a lady who had brought her teenage daughter to buy lps! These are all positive trends I think.

scott_w: If you make it to the show, you should get on their mailing list. They come around twice a year. By the way, ever go to Earshot? Although kind of a small store, they have a lot of great items.
I'm kind of like Whart in that I don't like to just hang around all day. Get in and get out. I will say that on my short list are mid 60's through 70's rock. If they were originally released in the UK, that's what I want and preferably mono. I scored a UK Yes "Fragile" last time that sounds really good. That made the trip worthwhile. Also found a stereo Rolling Stones "Flowers" Decca/London, Bell Sound pressing that, while inconsistent sonically, I felt was a nice find. Passed on a live Jellyfish lp, that I now regret.....
|
I'm getting excited.. just a new thought on strategy.. I'm going to take with me, my button flashlight that came with the Feickert protractor. Nice accessory for sure. I attended a record show a few years ago where the electricity went off. Luckily, all was not lost as I came away with a 1A copy of Rush "S/T".Yes, I did say luckily.
|
Here's what I came home with:
Byrds "Turn, Turn, Turn" 360 Sound Mono
Link Wray "Live at the Paradiso"
ELO "Out of the Blue"
Stone Poneys "S/T"
Big Brother and the Holding Co. "Cheap Thrills"
Rolling Stone "High Tides & Green Grass" London BellSound
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks
Springsteen "The River"
had $6.00 left over out of $100.

boxer12,
Your response reminds me of what I like the least about these forums.
I only hope your way, works best for you.
|
I, most times, try to inject humor into my posts. I seriously doubt it's been recognized though.
This remindeds me of Good Fellows. When Joe Peschie remarks to Ray Liotta.. "You think I'm funny? Do I amuse you? No, Tell me, you said I'm funny... tell me how I'm funny? You think, I'm a funny guy?
See! I can be funny as well!
Boxer12.. Welcome. I hope you have a great day. Peace!

onhwy61:
Since boxer12 has limited posts here, I really did not know how to "take" that response.
Having said that, I do think that making a "somewhat" positive contribution to another's post is not too much to ask.
No, this isn't as serious as climbing K2, but this isn't a forum for climbers either, so that comparison isn't valid IMO.
We have expressed our opinions here in several ways that equal DEEP feelings and extensive money outlay. So, I do think that most who take music reproduced well in their homes with the above thoughts, do want to have their posts taken "somewhat" in the same vein as they tried to express.
I'm OK with boxer's post, I find it just a little concerning, (given my reasoning above), that others find some fault with me expressing my feelings about it?
|
..ok...I should at least get some points for being able to quote Good Fellows. from memory? Right?
|
frankly, ct0517, you've never been (into it) like some of us (I say this after reading your response/s), and following your history and your obvious personal goals of (equipment over music).
Peace + love.

czarivey:,
It's important to examine which one came first?
|
don_c55:,
Thank you for your insightful comment. This is really what is lacking these days.
|
don_55c:,
If you want to continue with your posts that highlight your need to denigrate others... try...the following........These happen to be from czarivey whose recent posts started are. ( and I'm paraphrasing)..
"Artists who died in a plane crash"
"Artists who have less than acceptable voices" ( I'm being very generous here)
Why, (if you're objectively monitoring these forums for your (injection) for a post to make you seem relevant), aren't you posting to these, obviously, mindless, postings???
|
ct0517:,
Although I understood your ultimate point, I did not understand your last comment about the private/show/sale you recently went to?
"I came home with a box full. When I got home and realized what had just happened, I called the guy back up and brought it all home".
Very confusing?
I guess humor is in the mind of the recipient... why do others appreciate humor, except when I provide it?
|
Here are some of my reasons for posting here and my reasons for being a member:
(1) Anything vinyl related, (music related) I try to be involved in and the expansion of this medium.
(2) I want newcomers, whether they be old or new to feel they have a place in which they have passionate friend/s who understand the hobby and want to help.
While this thread may seem like it comes from lack of forethought, I feel that there are actually some things to learn here, in addition, it promotes the vinyl side of this hobby that I'm most passionate about.
Humor is always welcome. Comments that seem to make light of the ultimate goal of those of us who want to promote the above, seem to me, to be out of place.
I guess whart didn't (get) my intentional misspelling of Goodfellas?, Nor the humor in the context of that thought?
In the end, I think boxer12 received the explanation of my comments well. That's all that matters to me.
(What I try NOT to do, is without justification, try to denigrate others for their passion in any form here.)
|
Some posts above seem to be ones that are more wanting/willing to make light of another without the thought behind the ultimate goal of the OP. Again, some seem to, every once in a while, post, only to make a snide remark for their own consumption. I guess this makes them feel important or relevant?
|
If everyone would receive my above message and understand those motives, then I don't understand why there is any "push-back"?
If one were to take a survey of the major aspects of why people post here, and why they should be of relevance, I think the rising tides against my posts would change.
I think these posts have broken down this way....
(1) Posts that are I'm only concerned with for personal information.
(2) Posts that I've made in which others may be more informed.
(3) Posts made that can express my (personal) view of any item I've acknowledged in said post.... for others' info.
Here is my outcome:
(1) 5%
(2) 40%
(3) 55%
( If others would be of the mind to self-examine their reasons for being here and the posts they make, I'd say it's safe to say, there may be a turning of this tide?)
If, the fact that I've had the forethought initially, or the courage to express it here, removes me from being, in any way, humorous in any posts I make, well, I can't answer this.
I can only guess that the need for trying to explain why, is telling. Though, I don't know why?

ct0517:,
With all due respect...
I am always amazed at your ability to respond in an instant to anyone that has your interests with (thoughtful), forethought and the "on-the-fly" ability to make your point know with the facts to back it up! Absolutely amazing!!!!
What is missing is your lack of (the hours + hours of varying musical interests), and listening to various musical genres, that go a long way to validate anyone's posts. I believe that even on your own "system's page" you once asked the question, Should I invest more in music or hardware? I'm paraphrasing.
All I'm saying is, without hours upon hours of listening to varying musical genres and supporting issues/re-issues, there is a lack of inherent understanding within any one post made here.
I say this with the utmost respect!
|
...even with my 16 hour days through the work week, I manage to spend over 20 hours of listening to all kinds of music.
|
any relationship is (built) upon the basics. In the case of our hobby, the (basics) is music, and tons of it!
|
could it be that, for whatever reason, I'm the "flavor of the week/year" for making you confront the issues that have plagued this site for years?
If not, the why???
I'm listening?
|
czarivey:,
The importance, in this context is (important). Otherwise, why did you feel the need to respond the same way (TWICE)?
Otherwise, I would not have felt the need to respond in the first place. Duh!
If this is the sort of response I will incure after a responsible definition of my thoughts...
I think you are MISSING THE POINT! Not just missing, but by a LONG SHOT!!
As a final try... (and thank you czarivey, for your last response).....this just reaffirms your stance...
czarivey posted recently...in his/her most intellectual way, the following posts:
(Again, I'm paraphrasing..)
(1) Artists who died in a plane crash?
(2) Artists who have (less than acceptable vocals) ..(I'm really being nice here)
But, I'm, here having to defend my post of "How does one prepare for a record show?) Wow!
So, In response to my defined answer, he/she says, "chicken vs. the egg." Nice reasoning?? I' will act like a ROBOT and take your infantile answer as gospel.
And WE are suppose to take this "crap" as a reasonable response?
I'm unfollowing now.
