Calling vinyl collectors and lovers of all things awesome! It’s almost time again for CHIRP’s 12th Annual Record Fair & Other Delights!
Come join the fun this Saturday, April 12th, 2014 at Chicago Journeymen Plumbers’ Union. This is your chance to browse through thousands of records from over 50 vendors from across the great Midwest. We've got labels (including Already Dead Tapes & Records, FPE Records, plus Chicago’s own Reggie’s Live) slinging merchandise for you all day…keep your eyes peeled for some good finds!
And what is the “Other Delights” part you ask? Besides the greatness of the record fair, you’ll have the chance to hear some sweet tunes for the always amazing Windy City Soul Club. You can also test your music knowledge during the Music Quiz, hosted by CHIRP’s very own Austin Harvey. Win some cool prizes during the CHIRP Raffle, too!
As if all this wasn't enough, there will be food and drinks. I repeat, food AND drinks. Chow down on some tacos from our buddies over at Big Star, and for our vegan friends we've got Upton’s Breakroom to satisfy your tummies through the day. Keep your spirits high with some coffee from good folks at Dark Matter, who will also be selling the limited edition CHIRP Radio Morning Mix Blend at the fair. For all the adults out there, Goose Island will be providing libations to keep you hydrated and feeling good.
If this sounds like something you’re into, we want to see you there! For all you enthusiasts out there who are looking for first dibs, you can hit the early bird from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. for just $25. General admission to the Record Fair, beginning at 10 a.m., is only $7, or $5 with a flyer. Parking is free for all those attending the fair. Come join us for a day of music, fun, and good times!
