never had an issue with italy and i've shipped countless packages there. their postal system is notoriously slow though. the only people i've heard complain were punk or psych/rock dealers. mostly sellers of punk records though. i think part of the issue is newbies who don't...

i also know how sxsw is, and how the average person is (yeah, cheap commons will sell--but the crap i saw in dollar bins was beyond what silly hipsters in their most ironic state would buy--it was turd city). they would spend an hour diggin through stuff and go onto the next event, party...

ok---so now we are getting to the real reason-- wow. that's kind of a douchey thing to do (ban people for setting up at other events) why do people stand for such crap? just because of the ARC brand name? this would barely even need to involve most of their regular dealers at...

i also don't get why it would need to be a huge show to have good dealers and do well. dealers don't really need to come from all over. i just think it would be a cool thing to have, and much funner than a typical record show.

hey, i barely post here anymore, but i enjoy browsing/lurking. i have found a lot of knowledge here and enjoy the mixes. also---on one occasion a month ago-----i sold a record online where the only information of it was found here on the strut! weird that in all that time...

i know i mentioned this before and a lot of people seem to say things like, "too hectic" but why do you need the emphasis of the bigwig "official" austin record convention people to have a smaller, and cooler per capita record show? like the record riots of the northeast us, or that awesome...

in a basement at a yard sale. all records were 10 cents each.

they need to make this happen during sxsw again. killed it last year (but not as much as some others).

some nice finds, y'all!
