We are chompin' at the bit for April 19th - Record Store Day - and, since we only told you some of our plans last week, we figured another update was in order!
Beyond tracking the progress of Jack White's World's Fastest Record (read more about that here) and getting your hands on a randomly colored reissue Whirlwind Heat's Do Rabbits Wonder?, we will have some great new merch available for sale: Fantastic new, made-in-Nashville record crates for carrying your bounty home, a new 45 box, World's Fastest Record buttons, new Jack White T-shirt and poster, Whirlwind Heat T-shirt and poster, and new sweets from Bang Candy Company. We also have a fantastic new pop-up postcard for sale…
For those of you without Ultra Tickets, fear not, there will be plenty for your ears and eyes and mouths to feast upon! The back patio will be open from 7am to 5pm, and local young punks Jawws and Waxed will perform live from the Rolling Record Store starting at noon. We will have coffee, mimosas, bloody mary's and bagels in the morning to ease you into the day, as well as complementary slices of Two Boots' new creation, Third Man Pizza (!!!), and our favorite beer from Yazoo Brewery in the afternoon.
That's not all... hot dogs and hamburgers will be available from the Third Man grill pit, Las Paletas will be there to cool you down with their Mexican popsicles, and Bang Candy will roll up with their Coco Van to serve you up all the marshmallows you can eat! Fluffy bunny, anyone? It's Easter, after all...
Of course, we can't tell you everything about the day's plans (surely you know us well enough by now...), but hopefully we have made the point loud and clear that Record Store Day 2014 is a PARTY, and you're invited.
Here's a little schedule cheat sheet to help you plan your day:

Please note that parking will be somewhat limited this year. Please do not park at the Mission. Find street parking and carpool if possible. We will provide you with more details about additional parking options in the coming days, so stay tuned for more information.
New 45 Cases! Yes!!! very excited for that!
Oh where to park…this is going to be 1st RSD should be a ton-0-fun. And for those vault members who can’t be there TMR please give em an chance for the record.
Yay! @Kali and friends that are all going down for RSD. This is becoming like a religious holiday for some of us. Our annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Those of us who can’t make it head to our local temples of worship. For me it’s The Telegraph Record Store in Downtown New London, CT. I’ll be there with my squad at the crack of dawn to get the goodies!
I hope some extras of the World Fastest Record pop up in the novelties shop as well
I’ll see y’all Saturday!
Oh man iagree sure hope we vaulters who can`t attend get a chance at the World’s Fastest Record that would be GREAT much luv TMR
I really just want the candy.
Sounds so fun. That’s a jam-packed day!
I really hope you guys print some extra copies of the World’s Fastest Record and put it up for sale in the Vault Novelties for the people that can’t be there in person!
