Gauging interest: In-person vinyl show-and-tell / record club?

Trading streaming links gets stale fast.

I'm a huge vinyl collector, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I want to see if anyone is up for starting a casual, monthly vinyl show-and-tell meetup in town.

The idea is simple. Bring a favorite record or highlight a specific song, pass around the physical album, and talk about why that music hits you the way it does.

Hearing someone speak with real passion about an artist or a single track beats an algorithm every time. I already have a few potential spots in mind where we can actually spin a track or two without running into venue issues, or just hang out and focus on the artwork, history, and stories.

Ideally, it'd be cool if one of the local independent record stores would be into hosting this since what better place would there be to turn around and purchase a record after somebody poured out their heart and convinced you.

Yeah, it's kind of vulnerable because you're showing people what you like and they might not like it, but that's okay. I've really broadened my horizons by being exposed to music that I didn't think I would like from the cuff.

On top of that I just think we need more community in Tulsa.

All genres and collection sizes welcome. Speak up if you are down for something like this.

Thanks!
