It's not exactly a buying trip, because the jeep is already packed to the gills with camping gear and other crap for three full weeks away from home—but we have been hitting a few thrift stores and record stores here and there. The best one yet was Suite Lorain in Cleveland, a gigantic vintage emporium in an old bowling alley, pictured above. Emily picked up a cloak and a handbag (I'll show her finds in a later post) and I grabbed some records:This has inspirational words regarding stainless steel on one side, and music on the other. Can't wait to hear it.I had never seen this Tyrone Davis before. I don't have my portable player with me so I'll have to check all of these out when I get home.Some local hip-hop, ca.1984.Grace Jones Island Life, with photography by Jean Paul Goude.

The rest of these are from various thrift stores around Cleveland:Good graphic inspiration.There's a couple Bacharach covers on here that might be good.They cover a Serge Gainsbourg song.Oh c'mon, I had to get this 45.This one too, it was only 50 cents.And a Downhill Racer VHS for good measure.
