I drove to 1234..Go! Records in Oakland at 6:30AM for Record Store Day.
The line had about 25 people so I parked myself and read 'Y The Last Man' on my Sony tablet while drinking coffee from my Sci-Fi channel travel mug.
The line grew, wrapping around the block as the 8 AM store open time drew near.
At 8 AM the doors opened and the first few shoppers were ushered in. 1234..Go is pretty small so I waited about 40 minutes until I was allowed inside as 1 patron left.
I picked up Jethro Tull's "Too Old to Rock and Roll", Iron Maiden's "Empire of the Clouds" 12" picture disk, and a few other tidbits.
I received a gift bag with Led Zeppelin stickers, Metallica guitar picks, a 123..Go! turntable slipmat, lah-goo-knit-ahs t-Shirt and Weezer stuff.
Later I looked on E-Bay and realized the stuff I didn't get (because I wasn't interested) is like gold.
Long live vinyl!
