I'm totally dating myself, there was this store on gratiot, the guy had a beard [[that really nails it), and his uncle worked for Phillips. We used to steal the mercury switches out of thermostats in new houses being built [[my little brother got "caught" one night, but he talked big and scared off the "citizens" who confronted him, too funny, his voice was still cracking, tee hee).

Anyhow, we made this switching device that swirled the sound all around this circle of speakers, really cool. So I showed it to this guy, and he's like [[stoned, mind you) "We're gonna make some big money off of this, just wait till I show my uncle". Of course squat diddle ended up happening. Cool store, they also sold guitars in the back, monster amps, and me and my brother had VIP passes to jam whenever we wanted, even though in retrospect, we kinda sucked.
