So, in fear of rain and dire predictions by over-tanned midgets on Kare 11, Cake in 15 decided not to go to the State Fair and spend all that money on deep-fried desperation on a stick. Instead, we hit up the Cedar Cultural Center, who are hosting a 3 day record/book/memorabilia sale extravaganza. Thousands of records in boxes, waiting to be flicked through. All sorts of weirdnesses and musty smells- this could be a problem. To the ambient rock backing of Danny Sigelman's Self Sound Orchestra, we managed to rack up just over 60 records in under 45 minutes... an Olympic qualifying time if ever I saw one. And at a dollar apiece (we limited ourselves to that section - otherwise we may just as well have gone whole hog at the fair) it's not sooooo bad.
The Record and Book Sale runs 10-6 Saturday and 12-6 Sunday. Admission is free. Visit www.thecedar.org for more info.
PLUS- The Cedar opens its 20th season Thursday, 9/4, with a free show featuring Kevin Kling, Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles and more!
