How do you prepare for a record show?

I have one coming in my area within a week.

I gone through many shows. At first I just attended. Later, I had some sort of idea as to what I wanted. Later again, I had become more aware of what might be accomplished by having a strategy.

So, given my enlightened history, and taking into consideration your thoughts, how do you currently approach an upcoming show?

One thing I do is limit my spending by having a certain amount brought with me.

I do think that now, I need to narrow things down to original pressings from the UK and the like... mono vs stereo..?
I make a short list of interesting items and, "stick to it".

Any other thought?

Some posts above seem to be ones that are more wanting/willing to make light of another without the thought behind the ultimate goal of the OP. Again, some seem to, every once in a while, post, only to make a snide remark for their own consumption. I guess this makes them feel important or relevant?

It's important to examine which one came first?

Although I understood your ultimate point, I did not understand your last comment about the private/show/sale you recently went to?

"I came home with a box full. When I got home and realized what had just happened, I called the guy back up and brought it all home".

Very confusing?




I guess humor is in the mind of the recipient... why do others appreciate humor, except when I provide it?

If everyone would receive my above message and understand those  motives, then I don't understand why there is any "push-back"?

If one were to take a survey of the major aspects of why people post here, and why they should be of relevance, I think the rising tides against my posts would change.

I think these posts have broken down this way....

(1) Posts that are I'm only concerned with for personal information.
(2) Posts that I've made in which others may be more informed.
(3) Posts made that can express my (personal) view of any item I've acknowledged in said post.... for others' info.

Here is my outcome:

(1) 5%
(2) 40%
(3) 55%

( If others would be of the mind to self-examine their reasons for being here and the posts they make, I'd say it's safe to say, there may be a turning of this tide?)

If, the fact that I've had the forethought initially, or the courage to express it here, removes me from being, in any way, humorous in any posts I make, well, I can't answer this.

I can only guess that the need for trying to explain why, is telling. Though, I don't know why?

With all due respect...

I am always amazed at your ability to respond in an instant to anyone that has your interests with (thoughtful), forethought and the "on-the-fly" ability to make your point know with the facts to back it up!  Absolutely amazing!!!!

What is missing is your lack of (the hours + hours of varying musical interests), and listening to various musical genres, that go a long way to validate anyone's posts. I believe that even on your own "system's page" you once asked the question, Should I invest more in music or hardware? I'm paraphrasing.

All I'm saying is, without hours upon hours of listening to varying musical genres and supporting issues/re-issues, there is a lack of inherent understanding within any one post made here.

I say this with the utmost respect!
