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?

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!
...even with my 16 hour days through the work week, I manage to spend over 20 hours of listening to all kinds of music.
frankly, ct0517, you've never been (into it) like some of us (I say this after reading your response/s), and following your history and your obvious personal goals of (equipment over music).

Peace + love.
any relationship is (built) upon the basics. In the case of our hobby, the (basics) is music, and tons of it!

If you want to continue with your posts that highlight your need to denigrate others... try...the following........These happen to be from czarivey whose recent posts started are. ( and I'm paraphrasing)..

"Artists who died in a plane crash"

"Artists who have less than acceptable voices" ( I'm being very generous here)

Why, (if you're objectively monitoring these forums for your (injection) for a post to make you seem relevant), aren't you posting to these, obviously, mindless, postings???
