went by CD cellar late in the day and picked up a few used LPs but nothing RSD related..I'm glad the Cellar has expanded...
ditto. my dad and i have been going there for at least a decade now and we've wondered if theyd ever take over that room that used to be a psychic. i guess theyre still working out the kinks of the new layout (and it took me a few minutes to figure out where they moved some of the niche cd sections like folk and international) but its cool to know the stores doing well enough to warrant expanding
from what i gather theyre planning to use the new space to host shows like the arlington store does. not quite sure how well thatll work, given their shitty parking situation (made even shittier later in the day when spacebars open) but its easier for me to get to falls church than clarendon so maybe ill finally be able to catch one of their shows
anyway i did smash/crooked beat/red onion earlier that day before cd cellar and picked up a few things (nothing RSD related) at each stop. all of them were fairly crowded, which is always cool to see. i still have mixed feelings about record store day in general but if its giving these shops a day or two they can count on for big sales, thats obviously a good thing.
edit: actually my find of the day might have been my impulse stop at unique when i left the metro station to head to cd cellar. 30% off everything so i left with 9 cds, 4 lps and a nice button up shirt for $22.
