NOT-SO-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(Yes, people have actually asked us these things!)

Do you guys have an indie rock section?
Someone actually asked this once after looking around for 20 minutes. We’re not sure what he meant by indie rock. We only have 2 sections: New and Used

Is the chalkboard new?
(Asked by someone who had been in the store at least 30 times.)
No, it’s not new. It’s been there since we opened.

Are you open right now (while standing in store)?
If you are standing in the store, we are open.

What is this place called?
Look, we spent a lot of money on that giant neon sign. PLEASE READ IT.

Do you have Christian music?
Only if you count Sufjan.

Yes, welcome to 2010.

Do you have a bathroom?
NO! We don't believe in bathrooms.

How do we get out [of here]?
Uhh... PULL!

When did you start opening at TWO??
Uh, we've opened at 2pm, Tuesday through Friday, ever since we first opened, in July 2004.

Can I take the cat home with me/How much for the cat?
Sadly, no/ 1 miiiiilion dollars

You'd be fat too if you did nothing but sit around and listen to records all day.

Does the cat ever pee on the records?
Now, if she did, do you really think we'd tell you?

Can my unknown band from another city who doesn’t have an album out play an in-store?
NO! We are not a Virgin Mega-store with tons of people in and out all day long. If the name of your band is Artie Fufkin and the Ass-Kickers, we might consider it.
