I was at Virgin Megastore last night and asked for Travelogue, hoping that they would bend the rules a bit and let me buy it then. I was told to come back at midnight...at least here in Boston we have a store that stays open until 12:30 a.m. to allow obsessives to be the first kids on the block to have the latest releases. Unfortunately, being "old peoples" I could not do that, so am experiencing Travelogue envy because I haven't been able to get to the store yet. The sales guy joked (?) that if I gave him $100 he'd sell it to me early.
Good to read all the list comments about Travelogue...if I believed this morning's Boston Globe I wouldn't give it a listen. http://ae.boston.com/music/newondisc/reviews/joni_mitchell.html Best, Maggie > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 11:44 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: "TRAVELOGUE" artwork > > > In a message dated 11/19/2002 12:40:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > PS, Yes the record store sold it to me before midnight. > > > Must be nice to live in a city where a record store stays > open that late. > Here in Hooterville, I called Best Buy this morning to see if > they had the > new releases on the shelf.
