I know a stocked record shop near my house. If you have heard of a place called "Years a Go-Go" near navy blvd and barrancas, it is right on that strip of stores. The owner sells the albums for very cheap, reasonable prices, is willing to haggle, and almost all of what he keeps is in fairly good condition.

If you're interested, I happen to be trying to sell my electric guitar. It's not actually old, considering it is a guitar model of Ibanez put on the market only 3 years ago and then discontinued, recently restrung, hardly played at all, of an unusual black/gold color, with one or two barely noticeable chips in the paint. I also have an amp in perfect condition that can go with it, and I'll throw in an old acoustic (which needs to be restrung) for very cheap or free. For all of it together, I'm looking at around $350 or so, and willing to bargain. I'm desperate to get rid of it all to raise money for my trip this Summer. If you'd like to help out, send an email to katkachan@gmail.com : )
6. I was born in Bermuda. I visited Switzerland for a couple of days on my way back from Italy. I'm hoping to hit Italy and Greece next year. Working in Europe would probably be my ultimate goal. I'd live over there in a second if the opportunity presented itself.
9. I passed by that shop once I think. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Now if they had old cameras, that'd be swell!
