A few hours into the Jaunt

[rustyhonesty]

I've never done this before, but there's a first time for everything.

It's about time to do a check-in to see who are investigating - or at least have an infiltrator persona. My name is Jean Kirstein and... I don't investigate very often.

Apparently, I arrived with an ID that says I'm 21. So I guess age up, or down, is normal in this Jaunt. I also got a surprise guitar and seem to know how to play it...? Anyone else had something like that happen to them?

I won't ask if anyone has an idea of what we're supposed to do, since it's so early on the Jaunt... but it's good to keep your eyes open for any information that seems important.

Time frame?

For where they were sending us. No storage media newer than cassette tapes.

If we know what music is out, we could try to narrow it down based off of release dates. Since we're at a festival...

Looks like there's a music store in town. Still billing itself as a record store, which is really something.

[jokerofhearts]

Collector vinyls are still popular even in my time. It might be the same here.

[claudiometer]

I think this is less 'collector' and more 'primary medium.' Or at least secondary.

[ He meant it more to show that vinyl at least is still used in 2016... ah well. ]

I'll see what I can find at the music store.

['Still in use' isn't the same as 'still widely used,' to be fair. There probably aren't a whole lot of people in either of their age and time brackets who know how to work a record player, but when her brother was a kid it was a necessary skill.]

Good luck, dude.
