I celebrate a lot of holidays during the year, and they are all exciting.

However there is one day that is celebrated by record collectors nationwide, and that is Record Store Day!

I took to the streets and checked out Grand Rapids' local shops!

A places that I checked out were Dodd's Record Shop and Corner Record Shop, just a couple of the places in West Michigan.

Both of the stores had their own type of celebration going on, but my favorite had to be Dodd's entertainment. Plus there was free beer (21+ only) and bottles of water! You can always win me over with free beer!

Corner Record shop also won me over because of their vast selection you can dig into.

I picked up a random assortment of things:

  • Jurassic Park (LaserDisc movie)
  • You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish (REO Speedwagon)
  • Blue Oyster Cult Live
  • System of a Down (First album)
  • Van Halen Best Hits

Not a ton of stuff, but I am pretty happy. Check out some of the photos I took!
