Man, back in 1982 in Detroit we found a warehouse location for a local tuxedo rental chain. they had all of these ancient tuxedos in stock, many with the original labels still attached. I bought a 1962 Tony Martin tuxedo for $40 and never looked back. Mind you, in 1982 in Detroit only punx would relish such an addition to the wardrobe. Wool sharkskin that wrapped my then 185lbs like a glove.
On a completely unrelated note, but germane to your Minneapolis location, I am banging Bob Mould's "the Last Dog and Pony show" as I type.. Are u a fan? F*ckin' love Sugar and most of Bob's solo stuff.

Hey Hunter...
Great Story!
I have to admit I'm only marginally framiliar with Mr. Mould's later work, but I do like what I've heard of 'Sugar'.
You know he's gonna be in NYC on 03/11/09 as part of the "Music of REM" show at Carnegie Hall?
