My album purchase adventure
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:21 pm
After debating for a while if i should buy the album or not- I finally decided yesterday that I was going to...
Money doesnt grow on trees for us kids..We get money scarcely- luckily I had 14$ from a gig during the month. $14 is not enough and thats the only money i could get my hands on, EXCEPT for pennies, LOTS and LOTS of pennies. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I counted 600 pennies and put it in a plastic bag, and put the rest of the cash in my pocket. I went to my friend, (because the walk to the album store is extremely far- so might as well have someone to talk to) and he wanted to pick up the new Foo Fighters album anyway. On the way up there we made many wrong turns and got lost quite frequently. After a 40 minute trek we made it to our local record dealer..A fricking book store, Barnes & Noble FML. We get there and SBM is there. Wasting Light isnt. My friend is pissed, I'm happy. He picks up the 2007 Foo Fighters album and purchases it. I go to the clerk about to purchase mine and the album said (explicted) on the top, I had to explain to the old frail women- that I already heard the album, and there is nothing inappropriate about it- (slight lie). I also had to explain that I waited 4 years for this thing. She finally let it slide, I pull out my bag of pennies and the women glares at me. She said that the bag would have to be weighed or counted. My friend was getting pissed cause I was holding him up because the old clerk was using a counting machine to count all the pennies. finally she handed me my moneys worth of the pennies in dollars. I was just about to purchase the album for realz and then, BOOM! the fricking power goes out. My friends giving me a death glare because I need to wait for the power to go back on in the store before I could buy the thing! After a couple of minutes the power came back on. I had to wait for the computer system to reboot. That took a few more minutes, and finally, I purchased the album and SBM was mine
but then I had to take another 40 minute trek home....Oh the things I go through for Sum 41....
