After that, you're on your own. Nice to know you're still representing with the t-shirt! You only have 27 more days to visit me and raid Amoeba again. After that, you’re on your own.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. :) @Erin: Shoes are only hard to find for me because I'm practically autistic when it comes to fashion. I only worked in a record store for a day, and I got paid in records, but I'm not retracting the dork title for record store clerks. @BonzoGal: I love Amoeba. I went to SF for a visit and spent 16 hours in there while the person that I was visiting was at work. I went through the entire store from end to end and could barely carry the CDs to the register on both days. I know I went to some other big store in Berkeley that was only half as awesome, but I can't remember the name. You West Coast folk have it made... @M-Shel: Wow. Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)

I discovered that some of the old farts who work at Down Home music also work at Amoeba, which is great because they know everything about everything and will steer you toward stuff you didn't know you needed, but do.

Really, I'm not. There are a lot of weird people in my friend base because of the record store. Very weird. And, I'm so glad that other people have the same problem finding shoes, much like my husband, who will only wear black on black high top converse, or combat boots. It's comforting. Please don't bring the Dad shoe look in... “I offered a tiny bit of advice, ‘Most of the people that I’ve met who work at record stores are dorks, so…’

Young misfits wear their freakiness on the outside with piercings and black clothes. Older misfits generally learn to cloak their freakiness as they age because it makes life a hell of a lot easier." This quote is so perfect that it brings tears to my eyes! “Kids don’t know that young misfits grow up and become old misfits.
