no kidding, my dad has hundreds upon hundreds of vinyl albums sitting in our basement, and he's probably correct that a lot of them could be sold for a significant amount. we'll see. is anyone here into collecting vinyl? perhaps i can offer them on the blog before posting them somewhere else.

anyway. i gotta do something super good for father's day.

I believe that an extensive vinyl collection is all that my future upstairs roommate is bringing with him from Texas. You should definitely let me know what you have so I can tell him, since he'll inevitably be trolling eBay's vinyl section anyway.

Count me in as well; old vinyl collections can be a gold mine. What a killer pledge from your dad!

He's referring to Jeremy, who will be Erik's roommate. Jeremy, as in my old roommate, formerly of "Jessica and Jeremy."
