Extra Tips For a Happy Hunt
Pro-tip for the day? Wear comfortable shoes (you’ll be doing a fair bit of walking), and maybe a crossbody bag for all your finds — it keeps your hands free for digging through stacks of dusty record crates. Some cash on hand might also help speed things along at vendor stalls.
Keep It Respectful
While you’re relishing the tunes of yesteryears, also remember to keep the spirit light and friendly. Treat fellow shoppers with warmth, and watch out for the occasional elbow jabs in bustling spots. After all, it’s the shared love for music that brings us together in spaces like these.
