Sure. Go nuts.

Mine lists the order the placed online. So they won't know the quantity but you can see if they left off items you wanted. Like in my case.

Haha, well I called in and ordered what I wanted, I asked for the Now, Now repress which is limited to 500 which is what I'm worried about.

I'm possibly going to be in Vegas for RSD. Is Zia the place to go? How early do I need to be in line to be sure I get everything I want?

Zia is the place to go for a bigger variety, there are two in vegas. Last year I got to zia by 730 I think and was 40th in line, but this was the one on eastern/flamingo (it's closer to the strip and unlv.) This year I'm trying the Sahara location. As a last ditch you can run to record city. They had their rsd stuff in one small box last year, but a way smaller crowd. I preordered my needs list with them.

Out of the 4-5 things I wanted, the local shop only managed to snag me the McCartney 12"—not too hard to do, given the press run. I'll be looking for the Lloyd Cole split 12", the YepRoc YR15 set, the Marshall Crenshaw 10" and the Tommy Keene 7", but all those guys are so unpopular here on Long Island that I'm sure no other stores tried to order them, so I already know I'll spend hours driving all over the place and still wind up on eBay. Damn.

Holy crap, At The Drive-In is expensive.  $35 at one Toronto shop (Vortex)... and that shop usually has great/low prices.

 

Looked for a Toronto RSD thread but couldn't find... I've only ever been to Rotate This (opening) and then Sonic Boom (late) last year... what's best to hit up?  Any exclusives at Sonic Boom this year?  Where are you dudes going?
