On Friday, October 15, the DIODE crew took a field trip to Jackpot Records to attend a free concert by the venerable punk/indie institution, Superchunk. Playing an acoustic set in anticipation of Friday night's performance at the Wonder Ballroom, Superchunk played mostly new material and accepted a few requests from the rapt audience. Filling the aisles between records and CDs, concert-goers crowded in the door for what ended up being a very intimate performance. Highlights included "Crossed Wires" and "Art School," at least according to this attendee.
Afterward, we stopped into the adjacent vintage toy store, Billy Galaxy. The DIODE crew nearly went bananas over the wealth of original G.I. Joes, Transformers, Star Wars figures, Pez dispensers, and other 1980s ephemera. We may have just visited for a few minutes, but suffice it to say we never wanted to leave.
