Eugene's got the best of me!!!

This past Sunday was the Eugene Record Convention.

I remember the first time I went 3 or 4 years ago. I was like a kid in a candy store. So much awesome music under one roof. I forgot how many of and what exactly I bought that day but i'm pretty sure it was great. Actually in hindsight I'm pretty sure it sucked(not the convention, my record choices).

This time around I drove down from Portland with my good buddy Bill at 10:00 a.m. having got just 3 hours of sleep the night before.

Now anyone who knows anything about record conventions knows that you have to get there early or else all the worth while shit is gonna get swooped. The convention started at 10 + we got on the road at 10:30 after a surprisingly satisfying breakfast at McDonald's = I miss out on all the good stuff. After 3 hours of dusty fingers I come up pretty much empty handed; 5 bargain records that were hardly anything to write home about. All is not lost though, leave it to the last bin of the day to finally pull a winner. A 1971, 2nd pressing copy of Black Sabbath's Master of Reality with original poster in perfect condition. $$ Tag = 30 USD, making it the most expensive record that i've ever bought.................kinda sad but totally worth it:)

I started writing this because my MPC was taking forever to transfer sounds from my computer.....now that its finally done, i'm done!

What have we learned?

1) McDonald's Sausage Egg and Cheese Mcgridle is actually ok. Their coffee on the other hand is not as good as Starbucks as a untold magazine once led me to believe.
2) Quality is always better then quantity.
3) Bill is never to be trusted with money. If your reading this, i'm gonna break your right knee cap if i don't if i don't get dat money by the end of the week:) I love you!
