Well, I’m not sure who saw it coming, but here we are snuggling up against the number thirty. It’s crazy to think about all of the twists and turns that got us here. Not to mention all of the people who played huge roles, on both sides of the counter. The last several years have been weird and challenging, but man the bright spots have been incredible. The friends, the music, the bands. As I write this, the clock is slowly slipping toward the final tick of our twenty-ninth year, and while it feels like there’s a long way to go, I’m heading into 30 feeling pretty optimistic. Maybe it’s that we got to send our twenties out with Ozomatli moving all of us to shake our asses and jump around, or maybe it’s one of the amazing in-stores we have on the calendar (or in the works) or hell, maybe it’s just that we still get excited for new release day. Regardless, there are some ridiculously big in-stores in the works, including an announcement that’s hopefully coming early this coming week. Oh, and there will be sales, art and music events, free concert tickets, and more. We’re hoping to send an email out every week with the daily details. We’ll still be posting up on IG and facebook, but the socials have become less reliable, so we’re back to the email. Sign up HERE

The most popular picture will receive a print, an award (likely a ribbon, but maybe a trophy, if the garage sale gods smile on us) and a $50 Fingerprints Gift Certificate. If it’s close, second place will get something too. Double Feature Sale – BOGO on Used DVD/Bluray. It’s also the anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s passing, so we’ll be playing lots of Amy all day.
