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?

It's important to examine which one came first?


Same importance as chicken vs. egg.
could it be that, for whatever reason, I'm the "flavor of the week/year" for making you confront the issues that have plagued this site for years?

If not, the why???

I'm listening?
czarivey:,

The importance, in this context is (important). Otherwise, why did you feel the need to respond the same way (TWICE)?

Otherwise, I would not have felt the need to respond in the first place. Duh!

If this is the sort of response I will incure after a responsible definition of my thoughts...
 
I think you are MISSING THE POINT! Not just missing, but by a LONG SHOT!!

As a final try... (and thank you czarivey, for your last response).....this just reaffirms your stance...

czarivey posted recently...in his/her most intellectual way, the following posts:

(Again, I'm paraphrasing..)

(1) Artists who died in a plane crash?

(2) Artists who have (less than acceptable vocals) ..(I'm really being nice here)

But, I'm, here having to defend my post of "How does one prepare for a record show?)   Wow! 

So, In response to my defined answer, he/she says, "chicken vs. the egg." Nice reasoning?? I' will act like a ROBOT and take your infantile answer as gospel.

And WE are suppose to take this "crap" as a reasonable response?

I'm unfollowing now.

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?


Slaw - sorry for confusion. See here for more info.
