20% OFF ALL VINYL & "How To Be A DJ" FREE Workshop: SAT, 10/26 at Great Escape Charlotte Avenue

That's right-

In addition to the "Learn How To Be A DJ" program & workshop that we told you about before, The Great Escape Charlotte Avenue will also be having a "20% Off All Vinyl Sale" on SAT, 10/26. (That's 20% off our already-low prices on LPs, 45s & 78s.)

HOURS
"LEARN HOW TO BE A DJ" PROGRAM: 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
"20% OFF ALL VINYL SALE": 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.

The DJ workshop is hands-on and interactive- and lots of folks have already signed up for it- so to reserve your place for this, please RSVP by signing up at any location of The Great Escape, or by replying to this email.

In this program, one of Nashville's own local DJs, Nerfski, will first be giving a lecture on the fascinating world of vinyl collectors known as "diggers": how they get samples from records that they've sought out and how they use these discs to construct entertaining, groove-filled programs in various live settings. Then, audience members will be able to sit down behind the turntables and get a hands-on learning experience on how they can do this themselves (by spinning old-school vinyl records!).

This one-of-a-kind event will be fun for everyone, and will be a great chance to save big on vinyl for one day only- so make sure not to miss it!

20% off All Vinyl Sale and a "Learn How To Be A DJ" workshop this SAT, 10/26 at the Great Escape's West Nashville Charlotte Avenue Superstore location only.

NERFSKI is a local Nashville-area DJ, who lives and breathes the diggers lifestyle, starting each day by hitting the record shops in search of vinyl from which to take samples and concepts for his local appearances, including regular performances at Centennial Park. For Nerfski, the search for records and performing as a DJ is more than just a hobby: it's a spiritual quest, and is much akin to the lifestyles shared by fine artists such as painters, poets, etc.

Who is Neal Adams? He's a towering figure in the world of comic book creation and art. Neal has had legendary "runs" on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern-Green Arrow and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from the campy nostalgia of the television show, and re-fitted him in his present incarnation as an "Avenger of the Night." When people say "modern Batman", they mean Neal Adams' Batman.
