The Container Store has these "Tchotchke Shelves" http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10016798&N=&Ntt=Tchotchke+Shelves They come in 2ft, 3ft, and 4ft widths, and are only 3 inches deep with a lip at the front. The records will lean a bit, but they won't slide off. I just put up a few this weekend, and they came out pretty nice. I'd post a picture, but I don't feel like being judged on my musical taste right now.

Watch the Duck has 2 shows this weekend: Friday 5/10 9pm @ Bottom Lounge $15 http://futurerock.clubtix.com/bass-kitchen-candyland-gladiator-tickets-177634 Saturday 5/11 9pm @ The Shrine http://www.theshrinechicago.com from wikipedia: Watch The Duck is a three-member musical group from Atlanta, Georgia. They are part of the trapstep movement which is a cross between trap and dubstep. Some would also consider it to be Soulstep. It's kind of an interesting sound, and they're pretty weird. I think it could be a cool show. Three videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WatchTheDuckVEVO?feature=watch EDIT: updated the venue info. I'll be going tomorrow to Bottom Lounge. anyone interested?

i'll second Crossroads. my favorite bar in the area

I don't remember my dreams a lot, so I thought this was pretty funny and wanted to share... I was at a Lollapalooza-like festival and Rage Against the Machine was playing an early afternoon, small stage set, and no one really knew who they were. There was a small pit in front of the stage, and Zack de la Rocha came down off the stage to sing in the middle of the pit. He and myself proceeded to do some hardcore dancing during a breakdown in the song, and he ended up accidentally hitting a girl in the face. The whole crowd started booing him and chased him offstage. I followed him back to his dressing room area and hung out with him, and he was upset and contemplating quitting the band because "no one understood him". I was trying to convince him how awesome he and the band was, and how the band needed him, and blah blah... so somehow I finally went up on stage myself and continued singing the rest of the set in his place, and got the crowd to love it. I also got Zack to come back out on stage for the last song to redeem himself. You can't make up stuff like this, haha. Feel free to post your own!

good meeting everyone. welcome hipbot! scored everything I was looking for, for less money than expected. 4 hours went fast hanging with you all

on my way too. I'll be the idiot standing in line for records in 32 degree weather for 4 hours. oh yeah, i'll have a black north face and backwards black hat, and a box of coffee

I've gone from Mike Maybe to Mike NoChance for Rev tonight. Still in transit home... I'll see you at 6am with coffee!

I'm stuck in NJ, my flight back to O'Hare for tonight was cancelled...

don't get me started on Blaqk Audio. CexCells might just be better than any AFI album!

I think Crash Love is a great album. don't care if it doesn't sound like classic AFI.

if my wife doesn't drag me to Ikea friday night, I'll come to Rev

the barter idea sounds cool, although I'm personally not really interested in anything from P-Rex. Feel free to arrange the trades and spot-saving among yourselves. I really don't feel comfortable holding spots. also, I'll mark Bill down for fruit this is coming together nicely!

Kriss is going to Permanent now, so not sure if he's still planning to bring bananas and other fruit? That would be an option, or maybe some bagels?

well, i was just thinking everyone bring a different breakfast item to share with the group... keep it simple. dreamover, do you want to bring the vegan goods? let me know if i'm missing anyone, also let me know what you want to bring, and i'll keep this list updated Official VC Chicago Reckless Records Milwaukee Ave RSD 2013 Breakfast Meetup Saturday 4/20, 6:00am or after Milwaukee Ave Reckless mikeytags - Mike - coffee/cups/milk/sugar/etc dreamover - Nick - vegan treats kriss - Kriss - bananas AND fruit maxnadz - ? bgdesign - Bill - fruit smailtronic - Mike - donuts update #1 - let's get some real names up in here. sorry, i don't know any of y'all yet... update #2 - does someone want to attempt to bring some tunes to play while we wait? That could be a cool idea... update #3 - hobo defense mechanisms recommended

I was going to shoot for Milwaukee at 6am. That's what time I got there last year and I was third in line. I'm still down for bringing coffee if anyone else wants to bring stuff too.

there are 81 listed on the wikipedia page. i'd settle for all of those

I like the Milwaukee location better than Broadway, and it's closer to me, so yeah.

I'll be going to Milwaukee Reckless. I can bring a box of coffee and fixings from DD or Starbucks, depending on what I can find open at 4am...

who wants to organize breakfast at Reckless while we wait in line? someone bring coffee, donuts, bagels, etc... ?

had to do a fast run through before getting on a flight, only had an hour. wish i had more time. found a few decent things. walked away with 4 or 5 records for $30

has anyone considered trying to collect all (or as many as possible) of the albums recorded at Sound City? I think it would be a fun quest

time and location for CHIRP meetup? I may or may not go, depends on how hung over I am from a bachelor party tomorrow

anyone going to the Slackers at Reggie's tomorrow night?
