Los Angeles Record Club (is better than SF record club)

[fatbastard]

In the grander scheme of things, I imagine Saturdays work best.

I wonder if we could convince a bar like El Prado or Cha Cha Lounge to let us do it there if we promise to buy drinks.

Very smart idea.

[kitt kat]

I can get behind this: everyone else?

So Feb 4th and Feb 11th? Works for me. Post if those dates work for you.

And re: Cha Cha/El Prado...Cha Cha would definitely not be down. They are so "pretentious" (ie: Silver Lake pretentious) about who they let DJ and play music. My roommate and I tried to DJ there, but apparently the guy who is just friends with a bunch of people in the scene (and doesn't do anything but drink/live off mom+dad) is more qualified than us because HE'S COOL AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

Anyway. Yeah.

Feb. 11 I have a paper due so I may not be able to do it. If we did the 12th I could definitely accept that, and it's my birthday too.

OH SWEET

[icedKeg]

My birthday is coming up too

[kitt kat]

OK so February 12th? Y/N/MAYBE?

[corbo]

Yeah, i'd be down for Feb 12

[zenidogx]

Feb 12 should work for me.

[bmack86]

Just to be clear, I'm definitely down for the 12th. Can't guarantee I'd be there the whole time and I wouldn't be able to host, but I'm down. Gotta start looking thru the collection to decide what sorta things would be worth bringing.

[kitt kat]

Yeah I can't host either. (Shit speakers)

[bmack86]

We should talk to El Prado or maybe Mohawk Bend or someone like that. I know both of those bars have record players and sound systems equipped. Anyone have other ideas for a good social club-y type place to go to?

[greghead]

Doing this in a club? Typical LA

I'm so glad this took legs and you guys are really doing this. Awesome.

[greghead]

bump

Let me know how this turns out, Kat, I'm very eager to hear about it.

[ods..]

If we don't have speakers that are good I can bring mine with me on the drive up. Pretty sure I'll be in LA the weekend of the 11th and 12th.

[getbetter]

I didn't see this thread til now I'm down!!!!!I can also bring that Pearl Jam Beer for you Chris.Maybe we can do beer tasting as well with beer name after bands/albums.

[JorgeC]

If this is happening on Sunday i'd like to join. the beer drinking part.

[casey]

I don't have very many records but I'm down to come and listen to your records and drink. Next time though, because February is really busy for me.

[greghead]

Casey, I just noticed your sig. I also want to pet every dog in the world. At Hardly Strictly Bluegrass I was literally running after dogs in the crowd so that I could squeeze them. It was totally inappropriate.


/cool story bro

Maybe carpool....

[bmack86]

Do we have any word on whether this will go down on Sunday? Maybe reschedule for next Sunday so we can find an appropriate venue? If it's next week I may be able to host.

/cool story bro

We would be great friends. I get weird looks from people who don't have dogs or don't get the obsession, but I want to pet them all...and dog owners get that. It's definitely inappropriate but I can't help it!

Okay, back to records...

[Newro7ic]

I can't do this week, but I would definitely love to join in on this sometime.

[kitt kat]

Let's reschedule as I'm out of town last minute this weekend for family reasons.

[zenidogx]

Oh, this works well. Gotta be in SF this weekend with family. (perhaps I can sneak in a quick vinyl hunt.)

If many of y'all are doing Psychic TV, then I'd recommend a gathering before that show.

[zenidogx]

If this eventually becomes a thing, then I also recommend referring to this as "The Gathering"

[TallGuyCM]

I vote for something like bmack's residence for this. More of a relaxed setting where we can sit around as opposed to a busy bar, we can bring beer, etc. Easier on the wallet.

[icedKeg]

Glad this is being postponed because I am also unavailable this weekend. Going to Big Bear for this first time

[JorgeC]

Maybe carpool....

definitely.

okay, so sounds like Sunday 2/19 then? It's President's Day weekend. I dont get the holiday off work, but i guess that means that others can drink more.

[bmack86]

I talked to my roommates and they sounded excited about it, as long as you guys aren't insane people. I don't think any of you are insane people. So I can offer up my place.

Are you sure? ......I'm going to see if i can still snag Swan's Holy Money tomorrow.I also just pick up Sliver Mt Zion's New Ep which is pretty fancy and that crazy label name Ruined City BirdSong Combos(this ep is 001) is actually legit and they only interested in making 7".Silkscreen Cover,two 7" LPs,Lyric Sheet,One Sided Artwork divider(piece of paper).
