Oh, and Kenn from the Republic Tigers. At Both. Record Store Day, let's go!
There FYI there is also a "Record Store Day" sale @ Westport Antiques 4045 Broadway. (NE corner of Westport Road and Broadway) Hours of the event are 10am to 5pm. With a couple local bands playing outside and a Dj from KKFI 901.FM playing old records.
Zebedee's is going to be opening at 10 and I know Flipside's got some awesome deals going on that day as well, who's not mentioned above but should still be checked out. Here's their commercial for their record store day happenings for those interested; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Flipside's the main one I'm looking for after seeing this

I love this store and can't get enough of their videos
I'll be hitting up both Vinyl Renaissance's for sure. The cheap stuff will probably be 95% crap they can't get rid of, but that's the point right? To look through thousands of records for that gem.
Love Garden's deal actually gets you 10% of your pre-tax purchase over $50 as a gift certificate for a later visit.
I.e., if you spend $58.50 before tax, you'll get $5.85 to spend next time you come in.
