I miss the old record stores that used to be around.  I loved being able to go and pick up an album as it "just came out".  Even going to someplace like Barnes and Nobel where you can listen to music to see if it's something you'd want to buy or not.  Now you can just get your music through streaming apps.  Yes, you still have to pay for it, but it seems to lack some of the magic that it used to have.

MUSIC STORES

There used to be a few record stores here in the St. Cloud area.  I do remember when I was in high school going to Musicland and seeing what new music was out.  Then there was the Electric Fetus downtown St. Cloud that had some new music, but you could also get some older or "vintage" albums which was pretty cool.

So, if youi are missing some of those things from years ago, you need to check out this event that is coming to Bad Habit Brewing in St. Joe later this month.

VINTAGE RECORD STORE

This event is being put on by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Music Expo, and they are bringing a pop up store to Bad Habit Brewing on Sunday, October 26th.  The Facebook page says that there is no Vikings game that day because they have a bye.  Actually, they play the Thursday before the weekend, but nonetheless, they are not playing that day.  So - you are free to head out to St. Joe and enjoy a record pop up store, plus you can enjoy some brews from Bad Habit!

This is a Facebook event, and all of the information is there for you.

GET SOME NEW EQUIPMENT

I might have to go and buy a turntable once again.  Haven't had one of those in years, but it might be something I should definitely look into again.
