I went to Grimey's today. It's this awesome record store - we had some trouble finding it, which reminds me: we have a lot of trouble finding places. A couple of weeks ago, we got a new phone book. Which was kind of funny, considering we don't have a land line. Anyway, it was great because it was a yellow pages, and before that we just had the white pages business listing, and that can be hard to work with.

So the time comes when we decided to use the phone book to find a laundromat. We took a look at the listings, and chose one and drove over to the address. There was nothing there! Nothing even close to resembling a laundromat within 3 blocks of the address. Then, we were ordering pizza one time and we tried calling Domino's. The phone book had every location listed EXCEPT the one that was right down the street from us.

This went on for a while. In fact, it's still going on. I imagine it will keep going on until one of us finds a creative or humorous way to dispose of it. To date, every time we have tried to use the yellow pages to find an address or phone number, we have failed miserably. Doesn't someone test these things?

Anyway, today when we wanted to go to Grimey's, I took the initiative to look it up on the Internet. I didn't think to look for their website, but I trusted Google and Citysearch to provide me with the 411. So I got the address and map, and off we went.

It wasn't there.

Turns out they had recently moved. It just goes to show - you can't trust the Internet. Or our phone book.

Then we found Grimey's, and everyone lived happily ever after. Specifically, I hooked up with some Stereolab, Spacehog, Paul Simon, Billy Ocean (don't tell anyone), Lisa Loeb, Spiritualized, and U2's War on vinyl.

I also found out that this year is the 25th anniversary of London Calling. Grimey's is hosting a Clash party where they are going to screen the new DVD and have a cover band play some tunes. (Woot!)
