I love my video store
Kim’s Video is the greatest. Where else can you have this discussion:
Me: Hi, uh, do you have the Dark Crystal? … on DVD?
Kim’s video guy: Yeah, we have that. Let me see if it’s in stock.
[tap tap tap]
Kvg: Yeah we have it, it’s in the muppet section.
[pause]
Me: The muppet section? … You have a muppet section?
[pause]
Kvg: Yeah. [implied "obviously, doesn't everyone?" in voice] … It’s by the stairwell with the non-japanese animation.
Me: Non-japanese animation… muppets… gotit. Thanks!

Kim’s is the best! Here is a conversation I had there when I lived next door. . .
me: Do you have old school educational films like scare films and safety films? Something from the 50’s and 60’s?
Kim Dude: “Yeah, we have a vhs tape called school scare films about everything from drugs to hygiene. People collect that stuff.”
me: Wow I can’t believe you have have this…. theres no way you have anything on a San Fran artist Mark Pauline and Survival Research Laboratories?
Kim dude: “Oh yeah, we have an entire series of SRL documentaries and live performances.
me: Can I live here?
Kim dude: “no.”

Ok, SRL I can believe… but those school scare films? I’m not sure whether I’m more impressed that they were at Kims or that you decided you needed to see them. :)

Hey, I like what I like. And having SRL videos was not amazing, the fact that they had full live performances was. Essentially they are bootlegs but due to SRL’s vision I highly doubt they care.
