Video Americain
Hey poor man, you're all alone
Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going
Father Death, Don't cry any more
Mama's there, underneath the floor
Brother Death, please mind the store
Old Aunty Death Don't hide your bones
Old Uncle Death I hear your groans
O Sister Death how sweet your moans
O Children Deaths go breathe your breaths
Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest
Genius Death your art is done
Lover Death your body's gone
Father Death I'm coming home
Guru Death your words are true
Teacher Death I do thank you
For inspiring me to sing this Blues
Buddha Death, I wake with you
Dharma Death, your mind is new
Sangha Death, we'll work it through
Suffering is what was born
Ignorance made me forlorn
Tearful truths I cannot scorn
Father Breath once more farewell
Birth you gave was no thing ill
My heart is still, as time will tell.
--Allen Ginsberg
So, as many of you may have heard, Video Americain Charles Village closed its doors for renting on March 12, 2012 followed shortly by a candlelight vigil. C.V.V.A. is no more... for renting that is. The store is still open and will be open for many weeks to come for a veritable sale of the century. "EVERYTHING MUST GO" the sign reads. Unfortunately, because of the nature of the store (about 28k titles) and HIGH demand, it might take some time for us to price everything, but hopefully as the weeks pass the process will become quicker for those looking to take home a piece of history or open up a small Video Americain in their living room. The sale is from noon til 8pm Sunday through Thursday and from noon til 9pm Friday/Saturday.
Video Americain in Roland Park stands alone as Baltimore's best video rental store. Please continue to support us in Roland Park! Some of the best, rare items from Charles Village have been reincarnated and are now available at the Roland Park store for your continued rental enjoyment. We've also added a "Local/D.I.Y." section to showcase local video artists' work from around Bmore! If you have a video of your work you'd like to donate, we'd love to make it available to the public for you. Think of it as an analog version of youtube!
We hope this has cleared up any questions you may have had and puts the fire in your belly to go out and support local business. The battle may have been lost for Charles Village Video Americain, but the war is far from over.
