The Record Show You Like…Continues!

 

Since 1986, the hottest music has shattered the coldest temperatures in Indiana every January, and once again the tradition continues! There will be merriment, music, dancing and more records than you can shake a stick at!

 

Special note: This year the Bash will be advertised locally to surrounding area phonograph collectors.

So please, make your plans right now to happily emerge from your wintertime solitude.

 

THE INDY RECORD BASH IS BACK AGAIN IN INDIANAPOLIS FOR ITS 36th YEAR!

 

This year we are still in the LaQuinta hotel with plenty of room for social distancing to any level you would be comfortable with, and we will have sanitizer available at the door as well as restrooms are located immediately outside the banquet room for washing your hands as often as you like.

 

When: Held at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites Indianapolis South, the next Bash will occur on January 20th and 21st, 2023. Our contract starts on the 19th  for those wishing to arrive early to set up and/or say warm hellos to good friends. Check-in on Thursday the 19th starts at 3PM and checkout on Sunday is 11AM.

 

Where: The LaQuinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham, Indianapolis South (317) 783-7751. 5120 Victory Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46203. See driving directions! Rooms are $84 each (double or single) plus 17% tax per night. Our block of rooms will be reserved until January 6th, 2023. Be sure to mention our “Indy Record Bash 2023” group rate to get your discount!

 

What: In its customary grand style, the 2023 Indy Record Bash will feature the sale of everything money can buy including records, CD’s, books, posters, sheet music, instruments, photographs, phonographs and audio equipment! The agenda will be loose and free-flowing. There will be hot jam sessions to keep us warm in the wintertime chill. To top off everyone’s fun, there will be late-night record spinning sessions held until the last person is awake! Have no fear there will be plenty of room for safe social distancing in the new hotel and ballroom.

 

            This will be my fourth time hosting the Indy Bash and I am hoping that even in this continued era of Covid-19 there will be some new faces during the event. Once again, this year the Bash will be advertised locally where possible, on Facebook record and phonograph related pages and surrounding antique phonograph societies.

 

Directions: The La Quinta Inn is just off I-465 at the South Emerson Avenue Exit. First light south of the interstate turn left onto Victory Drive and the hotel is immediately on your left. You can’t miss it! We certainly hope you can’t, anyway! Be sure to check out a map as needed!

 

This year there will be a $20 fee for up to 2 vender tables and an admission fee of $15 for everyone attending the sale and event.   

 

Venders: Please email me at electrolaman@comcast.net reserve your tables.

 

-Thank you-
