Get ready, shoppers and party-goers! Black Friday 2024 is coming to Encinitas, California, and its surroundings, bringing a mix of music and merriment to make you forget all those turkey leftovers. Whether you’re a vinyl junkie or a night owl looking for some fun, we’ve got the scoop on where to be when the clock strikes Black Friday.

Spin Me Right Round: Lou’s Records Black Friday Bash

Calling all music lovers! Lou’s Records in Encinitas is rolling out the red carpet (or should we say black carpet?) for their annual Black Friday event on November 29th. This isn’t your average shopping spree – it’s a vinyl lover’s paradise.

Here’s the deal: doors open at 10 AM, but the early bird gets the worm (or, in this case, the rare limited edition pressing). They’ll start handing out numbers at 9 AM, so you might want to camp out if you’re after something specific. Remember, it’s first come, first served, and there are no holds or pre-orders on the special Black Friday goodies.

Lou’s orders most items on the RSD Black Friday 2024 list, but there are no guarantees, as with all good things in life. They might not receive everything they order, so cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “But I need my beauty sleep after all that turkey!” Well, tough luck, music fans. If you snooze, you lose. This is your chance to snag some sweet vinyl and maybe even rub elbows with fellow audiophiles. You might make a new friend while arguing over the last copy of that limited edition reissue you’ve been eyeing.

Beautiful in Black: A Sagittarius Soirée

Now, if digging through crates of vinyl isn’t your idea of a good time, fear not! We’ve got something for the night owls too. Just a short drive away in San Diego (about 25 miles south of Encinitas), a party makes you forget all about those Black Friday sales.

The “Black Friday 2024 – Beautiful in Black” event is happening at the Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa. This shindig kicks off at 8 PM on November 29th and keeps the party going until 1:30 AM on November 30th. It’s a Sagittarius birthday bash, so if you’re an archer or just love to party with them, this is your jam.

Here’s the lowdown:

1. It’s a 21-and-over event, so leave the kiddos at home.
2. The dress code is all black. Time to channel your inner Johnny Cash or Morticia Addams!
3. There’s a “Whiskey Hour” on the agenda. Bourbon lovers, rejoice!
4. They’ve got a mystery performer lined up. Ooh, the suspense!
5. Premium liquor sponsors are involved, so expect some fancy cocktails.

I know what you’re thinking: “But what if I change my mind?” Well, they’ve got you covered. You can get a refund up to 7 days before the event. Just remember, Eventbrite’s keeping their cut, so don’t go canceling willy-nilly.

This isn’t just any old party – it’s an “All Black Party.” So, dig out your fanciest black attire and get ready to paint the town… well, black. It’s like a funeral for your shopping budget but way more fun.

Choosing Your Black Friday Adventure

So, there you have it, folks. Your Black Friday in and around Encinitas can go one of two ways:

1. You can join the vinyl-hungry hordes at Lou’s Records, battling it out for the best finds and potentially making some new music-loving friends.
2. You can skip shopping altogether, wear your best black outfit, and dance the night away at the “Beautiful in Black” party in San Diego.

Of course, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious (or just can’t make up your mind), you could always try to do both. Start your day early at Lou’s, scoring some sweet vinyl deals, then head home for a disco nap before dolling up for the all-black party. It’s Black Friday, after all – go big or go home!

Remember, Black Friday only comes once a year, so make the most of it. Whether you’re hunting for rare records or looking to dance until dawn, Encinitas and its surrounding area have got you covered. Don’t blame us if you wake up on Saturday with a lighter wallet and a slight headache. That’s all part of the Black Friday experience, right?

So, what’ll it be? Will you be lining up at Lou’s with the other vinyl enthusiasts, or will you paint the town black at the Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa? Whatever you choose, make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You’ll either be standing in line or dancing all night – both require some serious foot support.

Happy Black Friday, Encinitas! May your records be rare and your dance moves be smooth.
