    A local weekly paper interviewed employees of Easy Street:

    Memories That Will Stay with Me Like a Thousand Locked Grooves

    JODY MCKANE (various positions/vinyl buyer, 2004—2008)

    Best thing about working there? Obviously, the records. Feeding the vinyl habits of myself, my coworkers, and our clientele. Large collections of records were constantly coming in off the streets, and after they were purchased, it was very satisfying to know what kind of records everyone was looking for so I could pull a piece aside and surprise somebody with a platter they'd been looking for. That being said, the community was a very close second—both the record-buying public and all the extremely talented and creative people I worked with.

    Worst thing about working there? Having to hear Pearl Jam on a hangover. Nothing personal, fellas.

    :lol:

    Sad sad sad. Does that mean RNDM was the last band for an in-store performance there?

    Nope. Yo La Tengo is performing there on its last day of business (Jan. 18).

    bidding started at $80, I think they went for around $200-300.

    Live at Easy Street framed went for $300.

    There was soooooooo much stuff. It was really sad to see it all go.

    there were:

    8.5"x14" Ten Redux posters (2)

    EV Ukulele Songs posters-one was 24x24, and another was 36x36

    PJ20 Posters-a bid dinged up (set of 3-went for $80)

    EV Signed Kozik:
    IS.php?id=182204&t=mi
    (Ed dropped it off the night before-framed and matted)
    I want to say it went for $900

    EV Kenyon Hall-unsigned:
    IS.php?id=96189&t=mi
    went for $850

    some stuff was going for crazy prices...

    EDIT: oh, did ask Matt about the PJ mobile, Matt looked at it, and just said, "ummm....no, I can't sell that"
