CHIRPradio.org has put together a free "record crawl" on Sunday, November 13 with stops at some of Chicago's finest shops. It's kind of like a pub crawl, but with better music and less vomiting. Those who join the crawl at the start on 11 a.m. Sunday will receive a "golden ticket" and a badge for special discounts and gifts along the route.

RSVP on CHIRP's Facebook event page, and if you can't make it, follow CHIRP on Twitter to catch up. The schedule:

11 a.m. - Meet at Atomix Coffee Shop, 1957 W. Chicago Ave., to pick up Record Crawl badges and coffee at 10% off. Then, the crawl heads to Permanent Records, 1914 West Chicago Avenue.
12 noon - Dusty Groove Records, 1120 N. Ashland Ave.
1 p.m. - Favorite Records, 1535 W. Division St.
