Anyone else take part in Record Store Day today?

I stopped off at Purchase Street Records in New Bedford, MA. The store is owned by a friend of mine. He had the local rock station there from 10am - 12pm so I got to meet the morning DJ who I've been listening to for almost 3 decades. I spent some time talking to him about music so that was fun. I also met the afternoon drive time DJ.

Spent some time talking with other music fans and searching through the bins. I didn't spend a lot of money but I ended up picking up Billy Squier's Signs of Life on vinyl and both Flashback - The Best of the J. Geils Band and Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard Of Ozz (the original version with Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake still on the recording) on CD.

So what did everyone else do, if you took part and what did you pick up?

Theres a record store just down the street but I haven't been inside yet. I checked out their website and seems like just a bunch of expensive stuff that I don't want
