yeah, it's run by some friends of friends. it's OK; more coffee shop than record store IMO -- I feel like they're trying to get you in a coffee stupor and then milk you for a $25.00 (reasonably pristine) copy of Hall & Oats' greatest hits, tho they do have some newer stuff and some gen-u-ine colectors' items.

Is the coffee itself good? I feel like my dream of always being within spitting distance of really good coffee is finally being realized. Pedlar is amazing and Crop to Cup on Atlantic, which is closer to me, is also really good.

Minor Arcana was fine last weekend but I think all the crowd were friends of one of the three DJs, so not a typical night.

how did you do this? like, with a broker and all, or was there some magic easy way
― mookieproof, Thursday, 7 October 2010 22:23 (fifteen years ago)
craigslist/broker/"no fee" (which i assume means that were paying for it in our rent)
― max, Thursday, 7 October 2010 22:27 (fifteen years ago)
hopefully it works out well enough and i can stay in the same place for more than a year for the first time since forever

So yeah, Black Gold -- fucking weird. Not very inviting. Overpriced records, dark, nowhere to sit.
In a larger sense I don't really get this "curated store" concept. I mean some are fun to browse, but ultimately why should I pay more for a product I can get somewhere else because you picked it?

Thought the revive was going to be about the DIY hipster wedding at the waterfront park in DUMBO this morning.

The nu-park or the olde park?

The one right across from Bubby's.

Ah, olde park. Have you been to nu-park? It's awesome, in a weird, slightly disneyworldish sort of way.

No, not yet.

I was so psyched when I heard there was gonna be a record store in the area (and disappointed when I saw the selection/price) that I didn't even remember it's supposed to be a coffee shop during the look-around.

Not quite sure what you mean. There is thunder and lightning but not so much precipitation, I guess.

yeah some crazy lightning! spared the hail maybe

OK, that one was pretty scary. Giant flash of lightning and thundercrash a half second later.

Yeah we had maybe 5-10 minutes of visibility-cancelling, wtf hail/rain/wind storm earlier. It wasn't immediately before I posted - maybe more like 9-ish?
― buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:16 (fifteen years ago)
OK, starting to see stuff about the hail, looks pretty crazy.
― my strange quest for maynesonge (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:24 (fifteen years ago)
Hail was probably Milk Dud sized.
― buju_stanton (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 12 October 2010 03:26 (fifteen years ago)
maybe larger
Looked like the size of small grapes in pictures I saw, which I guess is about a Milk Dud size.

So this Barneys Co-op thing. Weird. Are there actually enough people in this neighborhood who will pay these prices for clothing? It's not the densest area, although I guess all those new Ft. Greene/Downtown highrises are changing that.
