Hey vinyl fanatics, you got plans tomorrow night? Well, if they don’t involve the Night Owl Record Show, you’d better rethink your schedule.
Tomorrow night, a gang of record dealers and folks from local labels will be taking over the ballroom at the Hawthorne Eagles Lodge to ply their wares and to enable your dirty, dirty habit of collecting rare wax. The cost to get in is minimal – $2 – and a portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to Portland’s community radio station KBOO.
I’ll leave the rest of the pertinent details to the folks who run the Night Owl Record Show and I’ll see you there!
Portland’s Night Owl Record Show is the nation’s first night time record show. Twice a year since October of 2003 music fans and record fiends from Portland, the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Florida, New York and Japan, have gathered for a funky time buying, selling and trading records. The Eagles provide food, drink and pool to keep things from getting boring.
The next Night Owl Record Show will be Saturday, April 9th, 2011. Doors open at 5:00 PM. Those who just can’t wait can take advantage of the early entry at 3:00 PM for $15.00. The show will be at the Eagles Aerie at 4904 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland OR.
Some music lovers will be selling off their excess vinyl while others will be looking to fill holes in their collections. DJs will be showcasing their favorite vinyl rarities as the friendly Eagles staff provides drinks and food at prices that can’t be beat. The record show is for people of all ages, Eagles lounge is 21 and over.
A portion of the proceeds from The Night Owl Record Show will go to benefit KBOO, Portland’s nonprofit community radio station.
