I was there for one day in the basement. These guys were there for something like 2 months, so they should tell the story. that one day was probably the most fun I have ever had digging. We woke up early, went to Denny's, then made it to the shop early in the morning. You had to wear gloves and masks because it was pretty nasty in some spots. Nothing crazy like a flood or anything, but there would be records at the bottom of piles that, when you picked them up, the covers would fall apart because of mold.
There were stacks of records laying flat on top of eachother that were about 7 feet high, and these were all over the place. Every now and then a stack would tip over, since we were moving things around, and there would be a small little avalance of records sliding at you. Almost everytime this happened, something good would end up in plain sight.
I was there for about 12-14 hours and I never once stopped to eat anything or go to the bathroom. I didn't even feel the need to. I was totally distracted by what was surrounding me. I've never seen anything like it before.
The craziest thing is that this place wasn't a new discovery. I think it's actually been gone through a few times, but it's got an amazing amount of stuff in it so it's almost impossible to tap it. unless you are the king of every genre, there is no way you could tap this place.
