Superstar DJ Record Fair, Brooklyn

Took the F train out to Brooklyn to hit up to the Superstar DJ Record Fair, not really to buy anything, but just to get a little contact buzz off the whole thing… I already have too many records! Beautiful day, and a lot of enthusiastic people just out copping and hunting.
Rich from Etheria, DB from Breakbeat Science
Saw my man Rich from Etheria Records, one of my favorite record stores over on Avenue A for a decade, sadly now closed. Also saw Breakbeat Science man-about-town DB, and we had a nice chat about variations on international copies of the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers (he’s a huge collector of their stuff), and a project that’s been consuming his time for the last few years: a book about stickers, called Stuck-up Piece of Crap: A Selected History of Stickers, coming out next year on Rizzoli. It’s shaping up to be pretty definitive: he says he’s scanned over 5000 stickers and has several pieces written for it (including one by me about hip-hop stickers). Looking forward to seeing the finished project!
I’d love to tell you how I found that one great record that I’ve been wanting since I lost it at a party, but buying one would have lead to another one, and so on… So I headed back home (purposefully) empty-handed, with difficulty.
