I missed out on going last year so I made a last minute decision to check the convention out(sunday).
~Pseudo-celebrity sightings:Horatio Sands(of Saturday Night Live fame)and Jim Thirlwell(Foetus). My friend Shannon(there representing Curmudgeon Music)sold Carlos D. of teh <a href="http://www.interpolnyc.com/" target="_blank">[i][b]Intrapewl[/b][/i]</a> one of her cherished <a href="http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=delta_5" target="_blank">[i][b]Delta 5[/b][/i]</a> pieces of vinyl....but not without getting a handful of lurid pictures of themselves, heh. Athan Maroulis(of Spahn Ranch fame)complimented me on my Klaus Nomi shirt.
~unintentionally found and excitedly purchased Boston-based <a href="http://ectoguide.org/artists/tribe" target="_blank">[i][b]Tribe[/b][/i]</a>'s debut EP which was released in '87. The brilliant full length album didn't see the light of day 'til '90/'91.
~Record to make note of:Rainy Day which was a project circa '84 that featured the talents of both <a href="http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=kendra_smith" target="_blank">[b][i]Kendra Smith[/i][/b]</a> and the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs.
I exercised incredible restraint and parted with a mere 5 dollars. I could've easily spent 20 times that amount.
