does anybody live in springfield (illinois) or kansas city? i got invited to the negro league baseball museum next week by the guy who runs it, and i'm trying to find places to sleep for the one night i'll be staying in each place. if you can help, hit me up. if you've never been to the negro league baseball museum, put it at the very top of your "to do" list. i was there a couple years ago and it's one of the best museums i've been to. baseball or otherwise.

also, if you're a fan of baseball or african american / civil rights history and live within driving distance of the negro league museum, it is an absolute must see. i was there a couple years ago, and it's one of the best museums i've ever been to. baseball or otherwise. incredible displays, lots of cool memorabilia, extremely well thought out and laid out. it's super cheap to get in, and is in the same building as the American Jazz Museum, so you can hit two amazing museums in one visit. here are some pictures from the NLBM:

hello people of VC, long time no see! i got invited to visit the negro league baseball museum in kansas city next week by the guy who runs it. the problem is, it's an 8 hour drive each way from chicago to kansas city, and i only have two days off to squeeze in the visit and the driving, so the schedule is going to be pretty tight. i get off work monday night between 7 and 8 pm, so i was thinking of driving part of the way monday night after work, and maybe stopping in/around Springfield, IL that night. that way, i would only have about 5 hours to drive on tuesday, which would get me into town at a much more reasonable time. if you live in Springfield, wanna let me crash at your place monday night, knowing i won't be rolling into town until probably sometime between 11 pm and midnight? i literally just need a spot on the floor to crash (i'll even bring my own pillow and blanket!), and maybe a working shower would be nice, too. but other than that, you don't need to feed me or entertain me unless you want to. i can be out of your hair as early as you need me to be on tuesday, because i'll still have 5 hours of driving left before i get to kansas city. so it would be nice to sleep a bit, but i'm fine waking up early and getting on the road if you need to get to work or something. the royals host the rays tuesday night, with first pitch at 7:15 pm. i'm definitely going to try to go to that game. then i have my meeting at the museum wednesday morning, which will be over by noon. the royals and rays play again wednesday afternoon, with first pitch at 1:15 pm. i'm thinking about maybe going to that game, too, and then driving back to chicago wednesday night to be back in time for work thursday. if you live in kansas city, wanna let me crash at your place tuesday night, knowing i won't be getting back from the game until probably sometime between 11 and midnight? if you'd want to come with me to the game (either tuesday night or wednesday afternoon), i would be happy to pay for your ticket as a thank you. tl;dr i need a place to crash in Springfield, IL on monday night. i need a place to crash in Kansas City on tuesday night. baseball and/or baseball related talk and activities will be involved.

dude was awesome to work with. super pro-active about messaging. hit me with tracking numbers right off the bat. everything was packaged well and came in great condition. would 100% buy from him again.

i have a shit ton of crazy rare Alkaline Trio, Smoking Popes, and other similar sounding bands' records and memorabilia listed in a facebook photo album. the pictures are of the actual items that are available, with prices listed and descriptions of any flaws / history lessons on some of the more rare or lesser known items. click THIS LINK HERE to check everything out, and shoot me a message there if you're interested in anything. i don't check VC super often anymore, so if you hit me up here, there's a good chance i won't see it.

do you still have any // all of these available? i messaged you through ebay about the jawbreaker and JTB tapes you had listed. if any of them didn't sell, i'm interested.

surely somebody has to have a red copy of Born To Quit that they're willing to sell to me...

was able to transfer a few line items from the "WANTS" section to the "I ALREADY HAVE" section recently. help me transfer a few more?

hey dude, i've heard good things about your store, and about you personally. i have a ton of rare items available in this facebook photo album. add me there and we can work something out if there are some pieces you're into. i do have lots of rare records, but i also have original bowling pins from Fireside Bowl, a Matt Skiba signature guitar limited to only 100 that were produced, used drum sticks from Mike Felumlee of Smoking Popes/Alkaline Trio, rare shirts and merch from Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music, Chance the Rapper, Kanye, and lots more. i also run Artistic Integrity Records (bandcamp / facebook) and have a couple test pressings available that you might be into. i put out the Plow United / The Scandals split 7" and have one test pressing bundle left of that (you'd get test pressing #9/10, and a matching number copy of each of the variants of that record; red, white, black). Devon Kay of Devon Kay & The Solutions is the guitar player for Direct Hit. i put out the DK&S 7" split with The Ambulance Review, and have a few tests left from that release. those tests come with a die-cut cover which is amazing. same thing with The Fur Coats 7" i put out, die-cut covers on those tests, as well. i have a couple of those left. that band features Devon Kay on bass, but is fronted by Marc Ruvolo of Johann's Face Records, No Empathy, Das Kapital, Traitors, etc... i also help run Live From The Rock Room (youtube / facebook) and starting in October, we'll be releasing vinyl for some of our more popular sessions. maybe we could work something out where you guys get a test pressing, or an autographed copy, or something neat for the store? anyway, the point is, i have lots of shit i'd be willing to work with you on, and i'm always coming across new stuff so if things go well and we're both happy with our first transaction, i see plenty of potential for lots of future deals. i don't check VC super often anymore, so the best way to get in touch with me would either be through facebook or by e-mailing me at [email protected] hope to hear from you soon, but either way, congratulations on your store and good luck! -dan

as much as is needed to tell the band's story, i suppose.
