Wow, y'know what's even sadder? i was in an indie record store here in
seattle and some little girl, couldn't've been more than 10, came in and
walked around for a few minutes before coming up to the counter, where i was
chatting with the clerk, and asking where the insync cds were.
we busted up laughing before we tryed to sell her on death cab for cutie and
modest mouse. she insisted that we point her to the instink so i pointed her
to the door, telling her that she'd have to go to sam crappy or came-a-lot to
buy that junk.
if you aren't laughing, then its never happened to you...

ps: if anybody was that clerk, could you tell me what store it was? i forgot.
