RSD in NYC was washout for me. Next year I won't even make any plans at all around it. I went by Kims at 10:30 and most everything was already gone. (should I have dropped $50 on the YLT Jim Woodring thingy to flip to collector nerds?). I then walked over to Other Music but the line was around the corner and 30 people down the block. When I went back at 3:30 the line was still to the corner. I could have travlled out to the Brooklyn but those stores are way out there.
And then Monday Kim's announced it is closing. This is really depressing me. Its a kind of genocide being perpetrated against the e.vil - because genocide is not simply mass murder, but the destruction of a culture. Whether its community gardens or bookstores or performance spaces, nothing is allowed to withstand the withering blast of transient luxury.
