*TL;DR: I expected one guy with a coffee. I got a line of strangers, 88 degree heat, and a two day crash. Record Store Day was a sweaty, beautiful riot.
Saturday was a 13hr blur, and I only managed to take this one photo -the single moment I was stopped in my tracks before the doors opened. I’d prepared for Steve and a quiet morning. Instead, I waded past a living cord of people.
Inside was a swamp where we talked about pressings, artist rights, and our favorite tunes. The floorboards vibrated along with my guts as both faces familiar and new continued to roll thru:
**I sincerely hope you all had even half as good a time as I did**
When I was finally about to lock the doors and stumble home, I found a small, folded piece of paper left behind that said:
"I ♥️ Rewind"
Well, bb - right back atcha
Thank you to everyone who made our first official RSD the most fun, the most memorable, the most endearing.
It was loud, it was hot, and it was perfect.
