Hello 2007, Goodbye Electric Heavyland

One of our 43 Favorite Things about Wallingford is closing up shop over the next few days. Music & toy store, art gallery, and occasional show space Electric Heavyland is closing for good on January 1st. Rather than the standard "rising rents" storyline that you're used to, the Electric Heavyland folks are closing the shop so they can focus on their record label, enterruption. Since they're closing to focus on music, it would seem that the Wooden Octopus Music Pfest is still on, but we suppose we'll see next year. The store's closing out with a big sale:

CDs: Vinyl: Magazines: Cassettes: etc: at 50% off: that's right: 50% off! Thine eyes doth not deceiveth thee. 50% off the remaining stocks. oh, except for the toys, those are still the same really expensive price. but everything else is 50% off.

Electric Heavyland, thanks for being the second half of our geek-trips to Wallingford (the first half being Comics Dungeon).
