The CHIRP Record Fair, one of the best annual events for vinyl collectors in Chicago, gets underway Saturday at 10 a.m. (8 a.m. if you want to splurge for the early admission). The show is held at 1340 W. Washington Boulevard in Chicago and runs till 7 p.m. Go to this site for a coupon to get a couple of bucks off admission.
CHIRP is the Chicago Independent Radio Project, a non-profit online station at CHIRPradio.org that is run largely by volunteers. Late last year, CHIRP applied for a broadcast license in hopes of becoming a low-power FM radio station.
The fair will feature a number of vendors selling new and used albums. There will also be beer, food and entertainment.
