clearing up the rumors re: Boomtown Van

[Wood]

It came to my attention today that a rumor had been circulating regarding my shop. Before it goes any further I will clear this up once and for all - Boomtown Vancouver is NOT closing, nothing of the sort, we have had a bit of a staff shake-up but this will not affect our customers in anything but a positive manner.

I am resuming my duties as head buyer & store manager, duties i had performed for the entire history of both shops (Victoria and Vancouver) up until about 2 years ago. Expect all the same great music you've found on our shelves since our opening nearly 4 years ago, plus expanded selection in some genres that have been neglected by previous buyers, such as breaks, trance, progressive and hip hop. Also expect more competitive pricing on big-ticket items such as LP's and double 12"s.

Boomtown records has been my life since i opened the Victoria shop at age 20, and as my 30th birthday draws near, i feel it is time to take the reigns and bring our service & selection to the next level. I'm not sure of the source of these rumors, but rest assured nothing could be further from the truth!

On an unrelated note, our web store, boomtownrecords.com, will be closing temporarily for re-structuring.

any comments or enquiries can be directed to wood@boomtownrecords.com. I will try my best to reply to everyone.

thank-you,
Sherwood

[manos_one]

[linds]

thats cool that youve been running it for 10 years.

i live down the street from boomtown. but i never go in. for some reason it scares me, or intimidates me is a better word. heh.

Fran, get your ass in there. We've got more sexy house than you can shake your stick at.

Linds - don't be intimidated, we're a very friendly bunch. The only thing you have to fear from Boomtown is developing a severe black-crack addiction.

[linds]

hahaha
i dont want a black crack addiction tho
i think also, i just dont see a reason to go in there...

i really dont know why i dont go in. like i dropped off flyers there once. it was a quick in and out thing. im a geek. dont mind me=p

congrats on your store.

Thanks for the update..the only gossip i've heard lately regarding record stores is that bassix was closing shop or trading owners.

Damn rumours :)

[Wood]

^^that one might be closer to the truth....

but still innacurate.

[sodapop]

[Wood]

^^i'll still give you your weekly handful of peanuts, only you'll have to shell them yourself
