Darkstar I (Part 1)

Welcome to the first part in a blog series covering our first brick-and-mortar storefront "Darkstar" aka "Darkstar Records" aka "Darkstar Records and Books" or "Darkstar I" as we would come to know it. We ran this store from April 6, 2008 until May 15, 2010 and it was located in "The Cottages" across the street from the Rabobank Arena (now Mechanics Bank Arena) at 1024 Truxtun Ave. in Bakersfield, CA.



Our first sign and logo created by Dean Jones of Dean Jones Signs. It was dual purpose and incorporated our store as well as my Dad's existing DJ business "Minglewood Productions" which also operated out of this location. Dean Jones presented us with the completed sign at our store the morning of our second day in business on April 7, 2008.
