Toronto Downtown Record Show

The next best thing to a yardsale at Jello Biafra's house, the bi-annual Toronto Downtown Record Show returns once again to the Estonian House Banquet Hall (958 Broadview Ave., just North of Danforth) this Sunday (November 8) and runs from 11 am to 4 pm. Admission: $5.

There's always lots of reasonably priced vinyl, posters and other paper goods you won't see in stores or at other record fairs. Why you ask? Well, many of the people selling aren't your typical jet-setting professional types embittered by years of dealing with obsessive Barry Manilow fans, they're mostly just record happy dudes (along with a few celebrity DJs, see adjacent image) trying to please their partners by reducing basement clutter.

Hang on, I shouldn't be ruining my own chances of some crazy come-ups by explaining what makes this event better than most. So now that I think about it, you probably won't find anything worthwhile at the Toronto Downtown Record Show so just save yourself the five bucks and sleep in on Sunday. Yeah that's it, everybody just stay home and watch the Ravens batter the Bengals in Cincinnati, OK?
