Next Tuesday, May 18 2010, I'll be attending a Town Hall Meeting at the Grammy Museum. The subject of the event is the current state of brick-and-mortar record stores. This is especially interesting to me as someone who always found himself, at least once a week, diving into a record store looking for new releases and classic hits.

Here's how the Grammy Museum describes the event:

"Just weeks after the third annual Record Store Day, join as noted music journalist Phil Gallo moderates an impressive panel of music industry insiders for a lively discussion about the future of record stores and the evolution of music consumption. How will today's teenagers remember their favorite band of 2010? Will music resonate as much in the digital future as it did in the record store past? Panelists will include co-author and KCRW DJ Gary Calamar; former record store owner and New West Records Senior Vice President Peter Jesperson; Origami Vinyl owner Neil Schield; and recording artist Grant-Lee Philips. Afterwards, Gallo and Calamar will sign copies of their new book, Record Store Days: From Vinyl to Digital and Back Again."
