We just all went to Spain after graduation and enjoyed a week of wild-ass partying, booze and drugs. And no ****ing chaperones.

Spent the whole day with a friend I hadn't seen in nearly a decade. He came to town to see me and we're planning many follow-up visits in the summer ahead. We're both curmudgeonly fist-shaking introverted Gen-Y geezers trying to tolerate living on a planet with other people on it.
We hit up RSD for the hell of it and I took home the second volume to go along with my John Carpenter: Lost Themes LP. A very good day. EDIT: A word of caution to anyone who buys this LP. The official download from the label is a baffling 159kbps lossy file. What the hell? Is 159 even a standard bitrate? And who in their right mind would issue an official release at that low a rate? Especially for an ambient release? Thankfully, in ~30 seconds I found a vinyl rip far superior to the official download. Cheers to the filesharing community for picking up the label's slack.

An awesome day just got even better! My fiance pointed out that I really need a bigger record storage solution for my listening room.
The scene's #1 solution is the LP BIN - a front-facing shelf like the ones you see in record shops. $240 from the official site (plus shipping) but I found one on Craigslist for only $100! I should know in the morning if its a go - this would bring me a step closer to my dream of *living* in a record shop! PS I'm insane.

But I respect the objective numbers question. It holds 560. My listening room currently contains: - One 500 LP vertical shelf divided into jazz, electroacoustic, early synth, Moog, funk/soul, and blues - One 500 LP vertical shelf of classic rock, new wave, no wave, and DJ singles - One cabinet of 350 90s and 2000s downtempo, nu jazz, drum & bass, and ambient electronic - One Lane chest of 750 demos, test pressings, private releases, and desert island favs - One crate of 60 Jim Henson related LPs (Sesame, Muppet, Fraggle, Dark Crystal, etc) - and various stacks of ~200 recent purchases with no home My Discogs account catalogs 460 of my all-time favorite albums. The plan would be to house all those favorites in the 560 LP Bin with a little room to breathe. I'd keep the two 500 vertical shelves, but the new unit would get all the small crates and piles off the floor. $100 well spent!

Where I went to school, people didn't party after graduation. It happened so long after school ended that I think most of us were already kind of moving on the next stage of life. Cookouts with the family were about it.

The school had nothing to do with it but it was a known tradition like "are you going anywhere for Beach Week?" and many parents signed off/paid for their sons and daughters to do this. I guess (like safe grad) it's some kind of preparation ritual for kids and parents.

My favourite hobby is spending all the rest of my money on weed and finding out that I can't afford to replace my recently deceased lighter. On the plus side, I learned how to make a jailhouse lighter that got me by (on one measly bowl).
