The Video
By clicking the words VIDEO we have the entire 10 minutes shot inside the record store very shortly before it closed in the year 2000.
I apologize for the quality of this video in this form. I'll try to recompress it later, maybe tommorrow, to allow for a larger file and less compression. I think that the general view of the store is well represented and I could go through and point out, frame by frame, every little thing within the video.
The video starts out back at the classical desk, then moves to the front counter before shooting the wall, the back of the store and then the front counter again.
So I hope this goes through. Be on the lookout for higher quality footage tomorrow.
Also I apologize for the sneeze and some unintelligble random swearing by me when I get to the Wally Pleasant drawing on the wall.

Video stills...
I don't remember when I found out that Store 9 was closing. I was still working at my Dad's office and at JAM when the news got out. My memories of that time are very blurry at best. I think those memories were erased when I started work at the bookstore in July of 2000.
But when I did find out I had mixed feelings. The store meant so much to me and not being a part of it was a hard but neccessary transition in my life. I think it was about two weeks to go in the store's life that I took my video camera and went down there to shoot.
I had always wanted to take a multiple exposure, collage style photograph of the wall of signatures as I thought if nothing else it was a very cool feature that set the store apart from other places downtown.
When I looked back at the footage I was suprised that I only shot 10 minutes total. I had planned to come back and shoot some footage of Calliope playing the farewell show. But I couldn't come back. I don;t know if I chose not to or just didn't.
I have been trying to find a way to put the footage on this site and I feel like I'm getting closer. As it stands now I have tried to capture some images from the tape and will be posting them here. After this I am waiting on one more thing from out there and then I will be all done with my archive of stuff. I will send out some feelers to someone who may have some stuff, pictures and the like, that I could upload, and after that I this page will probably fall silent.
Well enough talk, on to the photos...
Here we see Mary and Jason up front shooting the shit about this that and the other thing...
The beginning of the wall shots. Here we see the 'stage rules' which read as follows:
1.Absolutely No Obscenities
2.Keep the Sound Down
3.No belching into the mike
4.Performances are limited to 40 minutes
Nice big Bop Harvey tag there...I think they must have played the store early on in its life as a few of the earlier in-stores saw large signatures due to the emptiness of the walls.
The first of Jason's bands that ended up signing the wall. Delaunay's Soul, who I think were the embryonic Sixth With Violet.
Right here, tho it is a little choppy, is the tag of the Van Ermans, the last band I remember seeing on that stage in 1999. I found a set list of theirs recently and while I won't post it I always loved when they played and whenever they called asking I pencilled them in. Now above their names, in black, is the signature of Billy Corgan and the tag Smashing Pumpkins '94. I don't remember them being in store but it would match up with when they played the Breslin Center(I think)...at that show my sister, who was 12 at the time, ended up in the 11th row, got trampled in a mosh. I went and picked her up only to find out that instead of taping the last 15 minutes of the show I was watching I taped 15 minutes of the WKAR auction.
