Crates & Plates is quickly becoming the premier open turntable vinyl gathering in the tri state! The vinyl community has been showing up and keeping the vinyl culture alive and thriving. It warms my heart to see new people every month come and share in the experience with us of discovering new music and community.

My partner @beats4daze and I would like to thank everyone who shares these moments with us each and every month. We are truly grateful to have you. Thank you to @johnny_tequila_ and @humblebrickoven for making this possible.

We can’t wait to see all the familiar faces and new ones to follow at the next gathering on 08/18/2024 for Crates & Plates 10!!!!! . We sincerely love our community and again thank you for your patronage!!! #vnylcommunity #vinylgathering #vinylcollection #vinyl #vinylcollector #vinylrecords #vinyladdict #allvinylparty #vinyldjs #vinylove by @cratesandplates
