hahahahahaha.

This is me.

 

 

Definitely will. We hit up 2nd Ave and Jackpot last time. I will add Mississippi for next time.

 

Yes! Out of all the stores I went to in SF, Portland, And Seattle, Mississippi Records was by far my favorite.

 

They have some really good deals in there sometimes on used stuff, and new stuff is always reasonably priced. They have their own in house label that puts out some stellar stuff.

BUT

The thing I like most about the store is the vibe though. It's so laid back and the staff is super nice, if slightly stand-offish until you talk to them.

Good to know! Ya. We will definitely have to check it out. I *actually* might get a layover in Portland at some point. I keep holding my breath, hoping.... There is a 31 hour layover that I must get. I neeeeed some Portland in my life.

I need a new pair of glasses. I like thick frames with smaller lenses, but want to deviate from my usual solid black in terms of color. I'm really digging the frames that go clear halfway down, like this, except maybe more square instead of round:

Mine are exactly what you described, I'll find a picture.

Amoeba was really cool and I found some neat stuff, but like Randy said, it's the atmosphere that makes it great. When I was there they had an old blues record playing and I could smell breakfast foods being made in the cafe they share a building with. It's the kind of place I could go and dig through records for a couple hours, sit down at a turntable and listen to some of the records I found, and talk to the clerk about music for a while. It was just a nice place.

I haven't been to the cafe next door yet :( but I hear it's pretty awesome.  Last I knew one of wifey's friends worked there too, and it's literally 2 blocks from my apartment. I don't know why I haven't been there yet.  The bar on that block is awesome too. I went there one time after eating a bunch of mushrooms. The bathroom is reeeeeeally oddly proportioned.

Isn't everything oddly proportioned when you're on mushrooms?
