No doubt these are the keys to a successful academic career. :)
Here's the cheap campus way for storing your records.
A) Sneak around the loading area behind your cafeteria. You'll
likely find stacks of bread racks from the bakery, and behind
those, milk crates. Some don't quite fit records, and others
are just right.... consider bringing a record along to check
before you run off with 9-10 of those crates. BTW: Stealing
these is not a federal offense.
B) Stealing US Post Office mail carriers is a federal office
though, and these things rock! Very durable plastic reinforced
with steel cable.... these suckers hold about 120 records with
a little space on each side for the handles. Excellent. Find
your campus post office... they'll probably be a few stacks
near the entrance of these things.
C) Bricks from campus construction sites can be obtained for
the most part quite easily.... and they can be used to build
makeshift furniture for your gear, records, friends, etc.
As for record bags.... well, expect to pay at least $60 for
a half-decent one. You might consider buying one that holds
at least 40-50 records with a separate pocket for needles or
headphones. Or attend a conference like Billboard, CMJ, or
Winter Music Conference, and you'll likely get a free record
bag with your registration.
With all the money you've saved, you might be able to afford
records.... and that's more than you can say about most
college DJ folk around here....
