I learned this while hunting down some videos a few years back. Kim's WILL have stuff in stock. But ultimately they would have a 4th or 5th generation copy off of a master they bought from somewhere else. In fact this was a very well known—and frustrating fact—about Kim's reputation.<BR/><BR/>In fact there were allegations from some small scale video makers that they would be encouraged by Kim's to send them videos for review, get rejected and then a few weeks later Kim's is selling a clear DUB of the VHS or DVD that was sent to them.<BR/><BR/>So I truly lament the loss of Kim's as a place to physically wander around. But honestly, online sources and eBay are tons better. Hopefully YouTube and other places will be a nice repository as well.JakeGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133101465071716345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-6658112682849217492009-01-04T01:59:00.000-05:002009-01-04T01:59:00.000-05:00Glad I stumbled over through blogger--I was JUST t...Glad I stumbled over through blogger--I was JUST thinking at 11pm on New Year's Eve how sad it is that this year was the last for 2000 sunglasses, and I've NEVER owned or worn a pair.

When I was 8, I started a savings account for this purpose. It's 10 years later, I still put money in it weekly. I still do. I'm trying to go to school out there next year. I'm from unfortunately, eternally sunny, southern California--where what little cultural/quirky character was lost before I was born. It makes me sad to see these places go. When I go there--to live (fingers crossed), I don't want it to be anything like my life here. Target next to Starbucks next to Barnes and Nobles in patterns. I want to be thrust into something ridiculously unfamiliar. That would be far more comforting.E.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16387670571076332342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-42110883397749152642009-01-03T13:17:00.000-05:002009-01-03T13:17:00.000-05:00i need to get a pair of those shadesi need to get a pair of those shadesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-37352092768394315342009-01-03T12:15:00.000-05:002009-01-03T12:15:00.000-05:00Leah Fry is the best post up here.

I hear these "oh my god" and "totally" it sounds like surfer talk. I hear this more than the New York accent. I live in Queens and they are starting to move here as well, I can't stand these people. They are so loud and they way they talk is so annoying. <BR/><BR/>They all dress the same to, wearing beat up Converse All Stars shoes. <BR/><BR/>They didn't wanna move here when it was dangerous, now that everything is safe as far as street crime goes, all of these so called "sophisticated" jerks wanna be here.<BR/><BR/>I will add it's mostly white yuppie people. There are some working class whites but they are as rare as a needle in the haystack.<BR/><BR/>The thing that really pisses me off is there disregard for New Yorkers. <BR/><BR/>I was out with my friend and told these people we were from NYC and these people said to us "my condolences" for growing up in NYC.
