foxmonkeyI might be getting Schizophrenic on Friday.
I went to my favorite place today with two of my lunch buds. We cruised the stacks, and I went up to pay for the Rolling Stone with JC's review (JC!). I asked the clerk if they're getting JC's album in on Tuesday. He said that if they weren't, he could order it for me. I was reluctant because, no! First day! So he said, we get new releases on Fridays sometimes. He said that they don't advertise that fact, for obvious reasons, but regular customers know.
My ears perked up. My heart sped up. I began to sweat.
This is the kind of place with tie-dyed t-shirts displayed on the wall. They burn incense and play groovy indie music on the house system.
I've been in the store a few times, and I love this guy. He's knowledgeable about all types of music and he's never condescending - no matter what I ask for! - which is incredibly refreshing.
He asked me to spell JC's last name. I did. While he was looking it up, I said, "He's one of the refugees from NSync." He laughed and immediately mentioned the Pro Bowl and said, "Justin's friend." And then he found JC's name on the list.
They're getting it in!
I immediately began to shake, I mean *complete* fan girl mode. My friends were laughing - with me, not at me. ;-) He said that he can give me a call when the shipment comes in on Friday. Quicker than you can say "JC likes pink," I started to give him my work number, and can you believe it, I've worked there for YEARS, but I was so excited that I blanked out on the phone number! I had to ask my friends to tell him because I honestly couldn't think!
I can't believe it. I might have it on Friday. Hours later I'm still shaking. :-)

But I'm excited for you! I'm just surprised they're going to sell it early.
