It’s been an amazing journey so far–Vinyl Road Rage #4 has been a fun, mind bending journey into the heart of America’s indie record stores between Chicago and San Antonio, Texas.

Tomorrow morning (Saturday) the show goes back on the road for two punishingly long days of driving back up north towards Chicago. Most of the record stores have already been hit, only a small number remain to be visited before the journey is complete. It’s hard to believe it’s already time to write the final posts on the last few shops before heading back to Chicago and start publishing reviews of the individual stores along the way.

There are too many people to thank in this post–a whole entire other blog post will be dedicated to all the people who made this trip possible, but I especially want to thank YOU for reading and keeping up on all the Vinyl Road Rage madness.

As I’ve been promising, there will be a review for all the good record shops visited along the way, and maybe a few bad ones, too…each store deserves its own individual shout-out and they will all get their due.

It’s entirely possible that when this trip is over Vinyl Road Rage will have covered THIRTY record stores, which is a record for Turntabling.net, to be sure. Next time we do this, I think it’s time for some kind of sponsorship deal, don’t you?

Again, thanks for reading and the best is yet to come…
