Are there any observances or traditions for International Boombox Day? Should I smooch my boomer?
International Boombox Day
- Thread starter Fatdog
- Start date
I've heard it called a lot of things, but "smoochin' the boomer" is a new one on me.serene lodi said:
Boy, the world sure is changing fast...
Tuning the truck up & picking tunes for IBD, can't wait! I feel a trip to Green Mtn. coming on...
So what do we do now? Are we all going to be tele-ported to the same place at the same time? 
Wouldn't that be cool - 100% of Boomboxery.com members with all their boxes at one super meet!

I'm lovin' the scale upon which you're dreamin', James...love, love, lovin' it to death!
If only it were so...please, someone "make it so."
Every day should be IBD, life would be so grand! I wished every day were Christmas when I was a little tyke. It's kinda like that, 
Just to loosen up my arm, I took a boombox with me "downtown" here in Bremerton, WA (pop. 38,000) and you should have seen the looks. One woman walked by, took one look, shook her head and said "Characters Wanted."
It's a good thing she had a smile on her face (and I was in a great mood, being 2 days until IBD) 'cause she could have eaten an M-90!
Just kidding! I would never do that to one of my babies...
On a lighter note, I hope it's okay to "borrow" the IDB logo for a few days. All in the name of promotion, of course.

Ive been outside today doing some light yard work while listening to the Ashes (cricket) on my JVC 656. Then i hooked up my Sony FH-7 and was blasting a good mix of rock and indy.
I then blow the froth of a couple to a 60's soul soundtrack. Sank a few more and have now come indoors as i have a headache.
Im sure this is dehydration from the sun and the yard work.
The neigbours are probably glad ive come in, dont they know its IBD ???

I am here and in DA'BASSMENT getting ready to have a great evening with my boomers! I'll have to get some pics of the changes and additions to the collection in celebration! 
Spent the day jamming the boombox that started the bug for me back in 1981...the JVC M70. Looks and sounds as good today as it did back then. I have several new additions to my collection and some more on the way in celebration of IBD. Once they all arrive I will take pics and post 'em...
Spent IBD reading Patti Astor's memoir, sipping spirits, listening to the Dub Club's three new albums through the 550, M90, M70, and GF-999, and taking pictures. Life is good! 
Go!

Spent a sunny afternoon of IBD down at a park with my wife Jenny, our 3 kids and of course, the GF-9494.
A very relaxing afternoon actually.

I spent my Boombox Day actually ON the radio! I did a 2 hour in studio interview on www.KOSHERMETAL.com and played the two new songs I just recorded.
