I did for the very first time.  I was mainly looking for a music poster to match a poster I miraculously found at Goodwill for $4.  But I picked up a really nice Rank and File Album.  Alejandro Escovedo looks like a baby!  Got a Skunks album as well, but it was the second one with the twins, not the original with Jon Dee.  So I am gonna look for that one.  But a really good haul.  I think my collection pace is gonna pick up.  As I grabbed a near mint Linda Ronstadt, "Heart like a Wheel," The Pretenders "Singles" album, also near mint or better, and an beat up old Animals album cover with a great condition album inside yesterday at Half Price books.

But I got below is the T-Bird's poster I found to match my Goodwill Asleep at the Wheel find.  I paid $225 for the T-Bird poster, down from $300 at the end of the day on Sunday.  Which sort of stung but it was a good match.  Then I went home and saw my signed and numbered Asleep at the Wheel poster was worth at least $250?  I was estatic.  Anyhow these two posters are going to be mounted on the inside slide back doors on Whiskey/Tequila cabinet.  So I am stoked!

But a nice poster spread from the convention.  Downtown was actually cool Saturday with so many folks heading to the game and track.  The wife and I went to C-Boys, for Jesse Sublett's Birthday party with Jon Dee a few hours after my Skunks album find.  I anyone finds the original Skunks album I am interested.

i had no idea this existed until finding it in the new arrivals bin at amoeba. definitely has a steely dan demos feel. not as polished or complex as their later work but still interesting.

That brings back memories, I bought that from a mail-order catalog around 1983 or so.  Sold it at some pint, but have an mp3 copy on a hard drive.  It is interesting, but definitely not memorable.  Just gave it a quick spot check, title track, Roll Back the Meaning, Dog Eat Dog, even Flotsam and Jetsam, you can hear the embers of Steely Dan starting to light.
