Last March I was visiting my folks and hit up a bunch of local thrift stores with my mom scavenging for vinyl. Woke up Black Friday and shook off my hangover then got a recommendation (from my mom of all people) to check out a new resale shop called Wings in the area. Well Salvation […]

For the second year in a row I hit both of the major Zurko flea markets at the Dupage County Fairgrounds. They comprise a bi-annual ritual I have committed to for the rest of my lifetime. The All-Nighter being a rite of summer; and this, of autumn. Both events have proven rich with vinyl and […]
