Record Store Day is one of our favorite days of the year, but because many releases are extremely limited, we do have a few rules and procedures to help keep things fair and organized for everybody. Please read through the info below before heading to the shop or shopping online.

BEFORE RECORD STORE DAY

SHOPPING IN STORE

We operate on a line system. The earlier you get here, the closer you will be to the front of the line. All the special releases are organized behind our counter (this keeps everything orderly & smooth. No trampling or pushing & shoving on our watch!). There will be multiple registers running so you can take your time at the register deciding on which titles are for you! When we open, the line will be directed to the RSD register area and you will “place your order” and ring out for these titles. Then you're free to browse all the awesome sales & non RSD records filling up our racks! Our regular store registers are just for those purchases, so you don't have to wait in line all over again.
Why do we do it this way?!
Mostly because we don't want anyone to get trampled. This is what we have found to be not only the most organized way to do this, but also the fairest.
WE OPEN 9AM! We are open from 9am - 8pm. If you are NOT shopping for RSD exclusives you do not have to wait in line, come on in!
USE THE MENU: Our RSD 'menu' of available titles will be available digitally on our website or in printed form on the morning of RSD. Please check off titles you'd like and hand it to your cashier when making purchases for easy quick shopping!
ALL TITLES ARE LIMITED TO ONE PER CUSTOMER.

Parking, Line & Camping Info

WORDY BUT INFORMATIVE 😉

Our side lot is available for free parking on the weekend. This lot is highlighted in yellow on the parking image shown here. Please disregard the no parking signs as you enter the lot. If the lot is full, there is municipal paid parking across the street.

THE FIRST 20 SPOTS ALONG THE BUILDING ARE DESIGNATED FOR "CAMPING". These are the first spots in line for RSD. These spots run along our building. We ask that you stay camped out in your car and do not leave the premises at night, as it becomes unfair to those who camp.

Once the first 20 spots are filled up, the standing line starts along the side of the building. This line will run against the building, starting at the side entrance, through the set up line stanchions that will direct the line down Cannon Street towards Market Street. Once we open the store, those who camped out will be moved inside to the front of the line followed by everyone else lined up against our building.

SHIPPING & ORDER QUESTIONS

DON'T BE A DINGUS

Please be cool to each other and to our staff. Record Store Day can get hectic, lines can get long, and some releases are frustratingly limited. Everybody working that day is doing their best to help things run smoothly and fairly.

We love Record Store Day. Most people who show up do too. Don’t be a dingus.

Rules are at the discretion of Darkside Staff and are subject to change. Failure to follow the rules will result in immediate ejection and potential banning from future events.
