Yeah, our 72-hour notice and final offer went in today.  I haven't heard anything yet.  I leave for Seattle on Friday morning and my annual vacation starts Monday.  We'll see I guess.
Purolater and the like are still doing parcels.  I don't know what they charge, but they will be doing the bulk of parcel service.  Cheques will be delivered by volunteer carriers. 
I also just ordered some records but had them shipped to the border, because I live so close to MN.

I found a copy of 7 SECONDS "The Crew" on vinyl at a yardsale in great condition for 50 cents.  Got it home and it had a MINUTEMEN 7" (the one on Reflex) in it.

Weird, I just ordered a couple of LPs from there. 
I tried to pre-order something a while back and it was gone by the time they processed my order.

We want to stay downtown (Belltown), what's a good place to stay?
Record stores?

Anything a must do there?
Thanks!

jawbox 'for your own special sweetheart' - also a great album

This is a fantastic album.  I've never gotten into anything else they've ever done, but this album is great.

Dear Toronto Maple Leafs,

See you next year.

Getting tired of this.
