Footlight Records is Closing in NY!! Online Sales Only — Page 2

This is sad. Whenever I went to States it was always toward the top of my must do activities...particularly when searching for out of print vinyl etc.

Before I go into my sarcastic mode, I love this store. I will miss browsing through their cds and lps.

Now, what on earth are those extremely friendly clerks going to do?

The end of an era

;-(

Since I live in LA, I'd only been there a few times during trips to NY, but it was always an interesting place to browse through--amazing some of the stuff you'd find there. I'm very glad to hear the website isn't going anywhere, though, since I still use that quite a bit from out here.

> Now, what on earth are those extremely friendly clerks going to do?

I must admit, I thought of this as well.

> They will have to turn to prostitution probably.

But I can assure you, this was the *furthest* thing from my mind.

Hester, while inflection is not clearly evident in the written word, I was joking with my prostitution post. Nothing in my post indicates an opinion about the clerks' physical appearance or ability to actual prostitute themselves, unlike your post. Did you get up on the bitch side of bed this morning. Relax and try to have a good time, huh?

You are the one that started the name calling bitch, not me.

I for one am going to miss Footlights. I've gotten so many cast recordings there over the past few years. It will be strange not going in there to browse and shop. I've been going to Footlight at least one a week since I first came to NYC 6 years ago. I also adore the guys that work there. Arnold knows everything. If I want to know if somethings on cd, or was on cd and now out of print, which always seems to be the case, he lets me know. Steve at the front desk is directing a production of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG right now and he gave me a card for it and told me how he would love to have me come, which I am. And Michael Rupert's partner, who I can't remember his name because he's hardly ever there, I told him how much I loved Michael and he was so nice to me as I went on and on about how wonderful his partner was and also for giving me a CD of MAIL which I will always cherish. I am simply heartbroken it is closing, but I wish everyone there well.

I will make my final pilgramage Saturday 6/11. I will than look for a watering hole to have a farewell toast. Another little bit of great NY goes down the crapper. I feel like I am visiting my brother who is on death row & this is the last time I will see him before he is executed

BUMMER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
