A few details: We’ll begin the day by limiting the number of people in the store to prevent overcrowding. Once the initial line has been served we will be open for shopping like normal.
Also, stop by and say hello to our pals from 106.7 The Resistance & 94.1 JJO. They'll be outside the store with giveaways that morning.
Reminder about the RSD titles: They are made in limited quantities and are allocated to all participating stores. Due to this limited availability, and at the request of RSD overlords, we do not take pre-orders or hold items.
Strictly Discs, 1900 Monroe St.: Beyond the legendary line forming westbound on Monroe Street, this year we've worked with the City of Madison to establish an event perimeter on Harrison Street until 2PM. Between the Monroe Street intersection and the Trader Joe's parking structure exit, we'll queue the line with DJ sets, giveaways and food & drink sponsors. The goal is to give our beautiful customers an exceptional (and fun) experience as they get closer to checkout. And a post-RSD purchase area to shop some of our fresh-used records and hang with fellow recordheads before the shop opens back up.
We just locked in the DJ sets and are excited to let our loyal Words on Sounds readers be the first to to know:
8 - 9: DJ Paul Grain aka Strictly Discs' own Dru Korab
9 - 10: The Real Jaguar
10 - 11: Evan Woodward (real name, no gimmicks) & on loan from Mexican Summer Records in NYC...Strictly Discs alum Zack Stafford
11 - 12: DJ Bruce Blaq
12 - 1: DJ Nate Zukas
