Beer crawls are a blast, yes, but as if this year’s Record Store Day lineup isn’t sobering enough, there’s a crawl happening where you’ll actually leave sober.

Music school founder Eric Mullins and vinyl record expert Jimmy Michaud are hosting their second-ever record store crawl, an all-day van expedition that takes patrons to indulge in five of the Bay Area’s best-known record stores for an hour each, with a few history lessons in between.

Included with admission is transportation, lunch at Tampa Armature Works, and an entry into a drawing for a free turntable, because you know deep down that your Crosley suitcase player sucks.

Tickets for Eric & Jimmy’s second annual record store crawl—which meets at Music Gallery in New Port Richey on Saturday, April 12—are still available for $59. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
