Austin Record Convention

[Des Crombie]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this thread, mods feel free to move it.

But is anyone on here going to Austin record fair this week?

I'm going to be there, so if anyone is up for a few beers , or know of a good party, or night then please give me a shout.

I know its only going to be half the size due to South by South West music festivel but I'm in the area so aim to spend the weekend in Austin for the crack.

Happy record hunting,

Des

look out for sellers selling stuff from the trunks of there cars, they don't want to pay for table space or a hotel room so just open up in the car parks !!!!

1st boot my mate looked in had a bundle of 10 unplayed International GTO's, bargain at $6 each

Had a great time in Austin as usual.

A mate who works in Houston tagged along for the fun. 6th street district was bouncing with the S+SW music and film festival. Listened to few bands and got well plastered on Friday night and was suffering all day Saturday. Watched a couple of indie Films and got to speak to the director/producer and cast.

Record convention was a bit smaller than usual and was in the City Centre Conference centre rather than the usual Crockett centre. As such there wasn't really a car park so didn't see anyone selling out of their car boot. Less 7inch records than the previous times I've been and more LP's.

With a lot of hard search I managed to pick up a fair few records while in Austin, biggest being a copy of The Demands - Say it Again on Clem.

Will hopefully get back in the fall, if only to meet up with Baz .

Cheers,
